Twin Tip Rods...Advice on choices
Looking at getting a twin tip rod lads, budget is about 200-220. I seen a Penn afinity last weekend but i cant afford a new one at the minute and missed one on the for sale section. Wondering if anyone knows of any good ones or could pointme clear of a bad one, seen a nice grauvell teknos surfz 4500 wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it or have one? Decisions decisions

If your budget is 200 lids keep em and save the rest for a Penn Affinity twin tip. Cracking rod in a 14 foot but the 16 foot is a bit too long.
I'm biased though!!

Had the 16ft Affinity and it was a lovely rod to fish with, Dan has the 14ft and I think he goes to bed with it.
