The time has come to upgrade the beach rods which are sonik sk3 13ft 4 to 6oz which have served well for 5 years as I gave up sea fishing to do more carp fishing but got the bug back now so time for a treat well a pair of. Most of my fishing is beaches Walton on the Naze to st osyth and the piers now and again, aldeburgh, Orford island now and again so 4 to 5oz is sufficient but sometimes require 6s when tides running but I do feel that these soniks have a stiff tip so doesn’t help holding the grippers in a strong tide, distance is not great with pendulum not full blown as still need to gain more confidence and with a better pedigree rod being a big help so slowly getting their and would love to be putting bait well over 200yrds over time, my multis are standard 7ht’s with Abu ceramic bearings and run well with yellow rocket fuel (7ht mags next) Im liking the spec of the century tip tornado LD supermatch and my local tackle shop is getting me 2 of them in this week for me to view but not being able to test out first on the beach with the grounds I fish would the ttldsm be a good match or should I be looking at another TT? any info would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance
