Please help,
I have a problem, I've convinced myself I need a new rod, I probably don't as I already have a Supermix 270, a 9' Hardy Sirrus 15-45g rod and an Esox Spinflex 7' 5-15g.
...but what the hell, It was my birthday recently and I have some money burning a whole in my pocket.
I want an 8' rod to cast anything between 10-50g mainly for plugs, possibly the occasional SP's but mainly HP.
It will be used for sea lure fishing and the occasional Pikey encounter (Esox Lucius, not beating the local chavs round the head)
I've narrowed it down but would like some honest opinions. I know the usual options but have seen a couple of alternatives that could be contenders.
They are...
Savage Gear Bushwhacker XLNT Rod - old favourite it seems but I dont want to be a sheep

Berkley Skeletor 2 Spin Series One - I really like the look of this but dont know much about Berkley gear
http://www.harrissportsmail.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=16558
Teklon Concept Spin 802ML - Heard nothing but good things from Henry's blog and all but am I right to be slightly put off by the Spigot joint? I don't know why :|

There are also some Cormoran rods on Micks site that might be worth a look at and of course the slightly longer sakura Rookie
