Don't have any experience of the Berkely or Tubertini but I had a look at the Daiwa in a local shop and was sorely tempted, thought it looked like a beautiful rod for the money. Have read a lot of positive feedback about it too, nothing about the other two, for whatever that's worth.

The 9ft Daiwa 10-40 would be a safe bet I'd say, as would a 10-40g Bushwhacker if you could find one. I had the 15-50g Bushwhacker and found it a little heavy for lighter lures and plastics.

hope that helps Oli, if it were me i'd go for the Daiwa.

When my ML 1010Pro broke I took the opportunity to get a new make of rod. I bought the Grauvel Teklon Concept Spin - and sent it back tout-de-suite and replaced it with a replacement 1010Pro.

I guess with all rods it's down to individual preference which is what makes recommending rods so difficult. I just found that the Grauvel could not cast even close to the distance my 1010 pro could and I want as much distance as I can get. For close in work it is probably just fine. Before you say it, yes my 1010 Pro broke - but so do Sakura and lots of others - sh!t happens from time to time. Other than that I've always rated that rod.
