Daiwa tournament pro 13/15 match rod

Fwiw I think some of the high cost rods that have power or specialist in the title is an excuse to bump the price.
Before all this hype about must have finely tuned gear for every occasion that makes us paranoid...remember the old boys on Severn etc had just one match rod and it did for barbel too .shock.
Buy the Sphere ....but I bet you already have a rod more than capable of doing the job...but it's what we do; and I know only too well.😄
I think it’s simpler than that Neil and just a matter of want vs need.
No one needs a £80k merc to get to work but some people want them and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Why not get some luxurious tools to complement our passion if it’s within the affordable budget
 
I've the 13/15 Tournament Pro, and have had a number of barbel on it out of the Trent to double figures. But I did go out and buy a Drennan Power Float for this purpose as I didn't think it was going to do such an expensive rod a lot of good.
