Nope, but I'm about to upset a few here maybe with this..........buy cheap and buy twice......get the rod you know will work, its not like your gonna sell all those sp's you've got is it and you just won't be able to get the results you crave without it :shock:Lewisman said:
Get a super distance mate, then let me have a waggle, I'll get the injection and let you look at it and wonder if its any better than the super distance :lol:

Si, He gives me exactly the same advice....buy cheap and buy twice...... I know he wants one, I know he will get one and probably soon, he just needs a good enough excuse. So Simon just buy the bloody RED ROD so I can have a go !!!!! You know it makes sense.softie said:

The Team Dragon rods are highly regarded and used by great many Scandinavian soft plastics anglers, which have been using these techniques for decades.

Somehow the complete misconception that fast or extra fast rods necessarily means stiff has managed to take hold. This is absolutely not the case and quit a few of my extra fast action soft plastics rods has a very limber tip but with a strong backbone, which is exactly you want for these techniques.Lewisman said:
Extra fast action just means that it it’s the last 20% of the rod that predominantly bends and not that it is stiff like a billiard cue

No, I haven seen one but I know a couple of very good Swedish Zander anglers that use them for soft plastics techniques, and rate them very highly indeed.

How about that Daiwa Infeet that Fishing Guersey got, he seems pretty pleased and I think you can get them for just under £140.
Check out his posts on it.

I am loving the infeet as a cheap alternative to something else. I'm quite sure an injection (or maybe supermix) will feel better but for a third of the price I am well chuffed with taking the leap to a specialist rod.
Liam H has one as well so he may be better to comment on the rod after longer use but he's had bass to 5 and a half and rockies about the same on it no troubles. I've not had more than a 2lb pollack on it and obviously no problems at all. I'm happy to recommend on my use so far. I am also very happy to recommend buying from Plat in Japan online. Superb service. You can get them in Europe I think but the exchange rates are so poor at the moment not sure how the price difference works out.
