Looking to buy a new rod in September I am trying to decide between the Teklon 802, Sakura Mazzera and the Sakura Rookie. Looking for that little bit more lure control and action the a 7ft - 8ft rod gives without breaking the bank.

I have my standard 9ft Ugly Stick that i will never part with :mrgreen: but looking for any additional advice or personal experience with these rods as i have read anything and virtually everything on the tinter net about them any advice greatly received.

Thanks
Scottie

Couple of threads on the Mazzera in Tackle Talk Scott, about 10 down. If you search for the Teklon, that's been talked about too (lots of tackle tarts around here! lol) Henry Gilbey's blog too: http://www.henry-gilbey.com/fishing_tackle/fishing_rods.html

Scott when you try one of the 'new' breed of dedicated lure/plug rods you will be using the ugly stick rod for propping up plants in the garden.:grin::grin::grin:

I have got a Teklon 802 - it is a lovely rod. Nice feel to it and very light. Cant comment on the others but the Teklon was my first choice - and I dont regret it. It's a great all rounder.

I am told that next month there is another rod coming out which will be pitched between the Teklon and Tenyru, supposedly picking up the best of both. We'll see I suppose but I'm keeping an eye open for them. Pitched around the £200 mark I believe.
