Hmm tough question - I wish I had plumped for the red dragon express as the ultimate one is a tad light for what I now need it for (as I have the SM 270 also) as it gets seconded as a tropic rod too now ...

What sort of fishing do you do and what type of lures?

The ultimate one is a great all round rod for the majority of UK hard plug fishing - awesome for topwater and minnows BUT if you use bigger plugs (30gms plus) in big swells and rough weather the ultimate one is a tad underpowered imho ...

Thanks for the quick response, Shore mainly rocky out crops, and mainly sub surface lures around 18.5g. occasionally surface although this is an area I would like to get into.
