Grauvell Blanks

Heard mixed reports about these anyone got an informed opinion?

Boat rods are excellent, haven't tried any of the shore ones but finish is good on those I've seen.

best

i bought a telescopic for light work it will cast up to 3 oz and i havnt smashed it yet it great for scratching with braid you can see every litle knock i also use it for feathering and get good distances with 2 oz or lead i am planning on getting a sensi tip rod not sure of the name of it but its one of the sexiest rods i have seen in a while and as light as a feather gillaroo or the forums has a bechcaster (fixed spool long rod) if you pm him i am sure he will give you his honest opinion :lol: oh yea i have a multi tip boat rod as well the angina or something didnt break that yet either and have hammered it down in kilmore quay for last 3 or 4 years

Had the pleasure of using some of the Grauvell rods, both shore and Boat. I have the Tektron in the 14' version with standard and match tips. Beautiful piece of kit, super sensitive with the match tip and loads of backbone with the standard tip. I owned a TC surfcast for a while also with 3 seperate tips. I have an Anaga 270 for boat use, again with 3 tips. Can't fault it at all.

I dont think, for the money, you can find a better quality or finished range of rods on the market. Yeah, Zippys are the dogs danglies but they are double the price. Highly recommend you take a look at them.

oh yea anaga :oops: not angina hey that reminds me of a joke that would defo be moderated :lol: :lol:

gillaroo or the forums has a bechcaster (fixed spool long rod) if you pm him i am sure he will give you his honest opinion

De Dodger is right I do have one - a 14' FS Teckron too. Lovely rod, very sensitive, a little tricky to cast with but light. One major con is the zipidy zip reel mount which has driven me to distraction on every occasion - before I decided to use casters to secure the reel.
No problem Iain if you PM I'll elaborate more.
