Opinions on 13ft rod choices under £400 for 3
Don't want to spend any more as they're going to be hammered for a season or 2 doing long range work weekly ( 160+ ) If anything was to happen I can just order another and not worry about spending another £300 + on a rod
Choices I've seen
Tx2
Tx4
Avid amplify
Free spirit helicals
Thanks all

I'd just buy 3 half decent spod rods. Will cast bigger weights, further and likely hood is they won't break. I've come to this conclusion myself, I build rods and have had access to most, but when buying a pokey fishing rod your likely going to pay a premium for it, they don't have much of a fish playing action anyway. The older style free spirit lrs spod rod (not spomb) are a bit tippy, easy to compress and can put a lead a long way.

Well that's it I'd still like to to be able to have a half decent action. I understand they don't go hand in hand

I picked up and had a play with the 13fr 3.5lb TC SU Free spirit helicals in the Tackle box.
I think it is a Fantastic rod for the money, a fairly progressive action, not too pokey, but you can feel the potential
£119.99 each, note. 10% discount off for three

Think they're my 2 main choices really. Tx2 is a proven rod and the helical looks a good rod

The tx range do it all I have a set of tx4s in 12ft and a set of tx7s in 13ft an both are mega for the money proper bang for your buck.
Really impressed with the TX2s first session out ( blanked ) but enjoyed using them. Made distance work a lot more enjoyable. Fished at 160 yards comfortable which was the max I could get in good conditions on my old rods.
Next is to up the spod from a 12 to a 13ft. Only got the tackle box cfx end of last year so considering selling that to get the 13ft model or try the shimano tx extreme. Both around £170-£180

tx2s for me as well, recommended by a well known angler that has to use a different more expensive make in the videos..
I think they are great rods and so cheap!
