      After sending 2 daiwa rods back due to similar issues, I ended up just buying the acolyte specimen. It should compliment the plus I...

      I have the Tricast Trilogy xs 14ft and use it for my chub and grayling fishing. It is very light (155g) and well balanced. I’ve had...

      Exactly this. They absolutely dominate the float rod market and by a huge margin. No one can touch em They got the weight and...

      John allerton premier tricast could be another option. Those can be spliced tip river rods and I’m fairly sure they can be picked up new...

      I’ve not tried one either (Tri-Cast that is), but it’s another suggestion Steven. When all is said and done, there’s a reason why...

      I'm ideally looking for a rod either 13 or 14 foot in length. I can only see the xs 14ft in stock online. With no experience of tricast...

      Seems like the only option apart from going 2nd hand is the drennan acolyte plus. Are there really no other newer 13ft/14ft rods aimed...

      A lot of waggler rods have a softer mid section so the strike is a little slower when trotting a float at any distance. There are some...

      Steven. Just buy a 14ft Hardy Marksman. It's perfect for good sized grayling. I use mine on the Test, Frome, upper Wye and, probably...

      You mentioned further up the thread that you would have thought a waggler rod wouldn't have the right action for grayling? And then...

      Waggler and Stick are 2 totally different rods and actions. Historically Stick/Spliced tip rods were for silverfish bashing, with light...

      I was thinking that might be the case. It was only the fact the older model had been mentioned here that made me look at it. It is...

      No sorry, mine is 13’ float 3-10g about 6 years old now. They've just ‘upgraded’ them i see so not sure if the waggler rod is the same...
