I don’t understand why daiwa doesn’t make a new model of it, the new tournament s are nice rods, but not as powerful as the BU model. Maybe the new conny is the way to go.

Yeah, that 15ft tourny is really nice rod, my favourite 15ft so far.

No, not all quality rods use cork handle. Consider browning spheres rods, best float rod ever, but with full Eva handle.

The new conny has 15ft power float option. And I am sure you already know, there will be 15ft normark avenger next year.

yeah, I know what you mean, and I am in the same boat. Still thinking of converting one of my chub specialist rod into a quiver tip, so it covers everything I need. If I have to pick one currently available blank from Harrison for chub, I think it will be the chimera Avon with twin tips. Or...

Nice rod, IMO this is the best blank for chub. Out of curiosity, what rod are you getting from MT?

I also have the 1939 aerial match and the float master su. Brilliant reel especially the 1939 aerial. Chris made the first 50 with narrow drum just like the original and wider drum for the remaining. I do wish he will take order again as I want the 1915 Avon, but chances are slim.

Daiwa released the basia barbel rod, finally, they update the rod with Fuji sic guides. But the price is insane… https://www.total-fishing-tackle.com/daiwa-basia-x45x-barbel-rods

I use perfect loop knot for all my hooklink now, it’s strong and reliable.

Shimano STC mini tel, 9ft, brilliant rod for roving

Yes, that’s the rod I lost hence I should have the rod bag somewhere with the extension.

The match pro version? I think I have it somewhere, give me one or two days see if I can find it.

If this new Harrison float blank is based on the blanks they made for the EU market last year, unless they made a huge improvement, I would stay away from it. Yes it has the power, but similar to their old su blanks, it feels more like a long Avon rod, the action is a bit through rather than...

I absolutely love my hardy conquest for long trotting, and that’s why I have 2, both are 4.5. This reel is purposely designed for trotting, it has a ridiculously large arbor for a 4.5inch reel, feels more like a 5. Yes, it looks funny, but what you get? An exceptional light, strong and smooth...

I 100% agree the stiffness and power are not the same thing. But to me, the power of the rod is when a rod bends under an external force, the force it generates to restore itself.

The thing is, the avenger doesn’t have a soft mid section, at least I wouldn’t call it soft. It is definitely stiffer than the 2000 and the original, not sure about the 3000 and mk2 as I never handled them. I said slightly powerful than the 2000, because the rod has a fine tip and progress...

It's a no-brainer to me, first of all, both 13ft avenger and acolyte specimens weigh 170g, so the biggest advantage of acolytes over other float rods is gone. Second, the avenger has a faster tip, which I like a lot. Third, the avenger has a better action and fish playing feel. As I said, the...

Well, after using the13ft new avenger, I decided to sell my acolyte specimen and get an avenger instead, but it’s just me.
