rate your rods

#1 Post by Shano »

Hi all, i am looking for a new multiplier rod for fishing surf beaches, one that can be used for pendulum casting and has good bite detection.
how would you rate your rod on a 1-10 basis
1 meaning why was this rod even made 10 meaning desinged by a god and im a clever tart for having bought it.
thanks

Daiwa meanstreak multi -6 great for mixed ground and retains good bite detection.
greys grxs multi -5 good clean to mixed ground rod . finish and real seat let the rod down but otherwise a decent rod for the money
