Bream Mad Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi Raiders, I think it is time to buy a decent stick in the $300-500 range. I want a 7' (2-4kg) one peice. a bit of a do all to throw both HB's and SP's mainly landbased. Options so far are BB finesse ($500) TD Zero 7701MLXFS(half the price of the BB, and i have a procaster Z that i love) Maybe something from loomis as well? opions would be appreciated as i have never owned a custom stick i would like lightness for HB's more so, i currently are running a raider bream finesse which is great for SP's but a bit to heavy for HB's BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davemmm Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I agree with Stewey. I was looking for the same style of rod for the same purpose as the one you mentioned and managed to get one from Tony that was not only perfect but turned out to be a brilliant price.

The Iceman Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Tonys rods are very good I have a couple of his bream tournament proseries and they are great rods easily comparable to millers and in my opinion better Go and have a look at his blanks Im sure you will find one or more that you will like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bream Mad Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 thanks guys for the reply as the cut down my budget (or maybe she doesn't know yet ) i only less than $300 to spend. i picked up plenty of rods and came to the conclusion that i wanted titaniam SIC's (not recoils) a fast blank and nice contoured cork grip. when i picked up the 6'10" berkley protactic i new this was the one, a bit a haggling and she was mine for $280 just gave it a few casts and my god ! its no miller by for half the price it is a SWEET stick!! so light and sensitive, casts a mile due to the nice little tip, worth every penny i recon be warned i have seen the same rod at another shop for $350 which is too much Cheers BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
