They all seem to be from japan which worries me a bit if it got damaged and had to send it back. Just sold my shimano lunamis 7-35 which is probably the nicest rod ive ever owned but the genos is meant to be even better which it should be mind as its more than twice the price.

eBay, I'm a fan of lite lure rod fishing casting up to 15grams but do own two more powerful rods at 7 to 35 and 40 to110 which I've had some reasonable tope on.

Yes 22 model. Very blingy just how i like them 😀 I dont need one either but always wanted one. Total fishing tackle had one of each size listed on the ebay shop with starting bids of £389 with free postage so i bid the starting bid preparing to mebees go to £500 but i was the only one who bid so got it for £389 which is probably the best fishing related bargain ive ever had. They still listed for £779 on tft’s website.

It definitely doesn't help distance casting, it just increases friction as the line is laying in coils directly next to each other. Does look nice tho!

I hate that super slow oscillation on the shimano reels. Its a hindrance if anything and dosent serve any purpose other than making your line lay look all nice.

My sal****er twin powers are well over a decade old and been used in sal****er as well as fresh and are good as new. They are super smooth and would easily land and UK carp . Problem is rods have also got more powerful for extreme range casting and most are to heavy to balance up nicely with these smaller reels but someone on here recommend the free spirit heavy water rods to me and they are fantastic rods that can fish under the tip to long range and pair up nicely with the twinpowers. I've sold all my carp rods and reels and this setup with my 12ft 2.25 TC will do all I need for carp and barbel fishing.

Have no idea why reels are getting bigger and bigger; the new mags are ridiculous, basia is not so bad because they have tiny bodies... think the reel manufacturers need to have a reset of what's needed in modern angling. This fad on making the drags faster and faster, oscillation slower and lower too.... power aeros would be spot if they were 10000 size and slow the drag up by about a whole turn; 3/4 clicks from free to locked up is stupid in my opinion.
5500 c14's and the cast'izm
