out of those i,d go for the shimano their cheaper rods are quite good its all down to what you like though alot of rough ground rods have tips that wont register small fish so i suppose it depends on what your after ,the greys looks a nice rod for he money too :!: the sonik has a fixed reel seat :evil: WHY?????????????????? prob cos its alot cheaper?

I changed my mind again ! Getting a daiwa sandstorm 12ft and slosh 30 Tuesday :) cheers for the reply roger , the heavy tip Definitely hinders the register of bites but I'm hoping to use my pike 12ft rods for the light stuff

I was looking at the sks but it looks the lightest of the range . I'm a big fan of daiwa and never had a complaint bout any of their course or game gear and I can see it been the same with the sea gear :)
