fairly soon im planning on treating myself to a new rod as it has been a while.im haveing a look at these ranges from alan yates.obviously he speaks highly of them as he is involved in the set up but id like to hear from anyone else on here that has came across them or have one etc.im mainly interested in the 13/14 foot multi ranges.here is two links below if ye want to open and see.
probaby would be better asking on an uk forum but il let this go ahead on here and see how it goes

If you check out world sea fishing tackle forum you'll see they are'nt the most popular.But maybe somebody on these shores has had first hand experience and feels differant.

Re: tf gear delta or force 8 beachcaster rods recommendation
i had the delta 14ft m/fs it was a very nice rod good bite detection and was able to cast a 6 or 7oz lead very far.the rod was also good in places like monkstown where tidal flow can be strong the tip would curve nicely making bite detection easy and not bounce all over the place.the only reason i sold it is because ive caught the lure fishing bug.

thanks for that sounds like a good decent rod but i wonder would she bounce much in the head while fishing a good west of ireland surf
