Re: witch rod is best salt or sandstorm ?????
My mate has a 13 ft sandstorm. It is a great job eecially for distance casting and it looks the business as well. The only problem I can find with it is the very soft tip. In calm weather it is great for bite detection but in a large suft the tip bounces around like a mad person.
I have a 13 ft anyfish 6+ Bait. What a rod- i have it paired up with an sl20. Match made in heaven. The blank and tip is lot stiffer so I find it performs better in a rough surf. It is a bout the same ££ as well. In using both these rods I would honestly recommend the anyfish as I think it is a better all rounder as it can bully fish in a rotten bottom as well. But this is just my opinion mate.

Re: witch rod is best salt or sandstorm ?????
have had a bit of a rethink, typical of me
decided to go for a long rod instead, and then changed my mind again
so i ended up getting a meta lite soarer 12' 8" made by john Holden, multi version.
a very nice rod and cant wait to get out and give it a throw...
