New daiwa basia

I can only really compare Christian, like for like, ie 2.75 rods. I suppose the best recognised would be the free spirits I had, s class and e. I never thought they transmitted much feel. It was wham, they bent. I only had 1.75 torrixs but also good sorted 1.75 and 2,1/4. The feel the x 45 gave was very sportex like imho. Everything got transmitted down the blank rather than the fs , bang/ wallop. Probably will anger some by that and show up my inexperience but I like finesse and
subtlety. .

That makes sense. I thought the e class carp rods were horrible. I gave them a fair chance and had quite a few fish on them.
