hi terry, i was intrigued when you where talking about the actions on the tx range of rods, i was wondering do you have a chart or a list of the actions and the rods? cheers
Terry so two years on do you have any different views regarding guides ie minima k series standard etc. ? Also I'm currently on the x45 infinity 12 3.75. Much difference between them and the tx7 intensity? Hearing a few mates rave about them
I used minima way before they were on carp rods, they were used in surfcasting first. They work well but loads of guides do. TX7 I used a lot when I worked for shimano the action is a bit stiff and fast for level line, more chance of snapping mono with shock. Infinity isn’t over stiff so makes a lovely rod to cast without leaders 13ft better imho
I can answer this quickly. Every best caster I know who has cast records or Fishes at range uses 50s and above in carp or surfcasting. But you have to be a good caster to utilise them mate ✌️
