the sk3 will certainly handle a bit tougher ground than the grxs and id imagine it would cast better but they can be called snapper soniks at times,,your call man,,,,i had a sk3 and she snapped on me but grand rod to use,,,,it was my own fault she snapped anyway,,,,i have the sk4 now and find it sound,,your call

I had the older model of the grsx until last week when it broken.I contacted greys and there sending me the new model in exchange.I went into the shop I bough it from for something else and they had no less then six of the older models that had broken in the same place as my own.Lets hope they have fixed the design.

Mine and all the models in the shop were broke in the same place about 2" above the first ring on the second section.
