I have had the 14,2 tnxs which is quite a beast !! More of a pure casting rod, Not much of a fishing rod except for the heaviest kelp marks and even then there are better suited rods for that kind of work. I am sure that the 13,4 has a similar action to the 14,2 which loads more evenly throughout the length of the tip. The 13 ft version is the best fishing tool I think, with a nicer tippier action. Alan yates uses one and sings it praises quite highly.
