After Christmas in January I'm planning on upgrading my rods I currently have 3 x free spirit 12 3.25tc rods I fancy a change I get bored easily 🤣 ideally I want a 12ft 3.25tc again I find this helps with getting up the distances if needed on one of my lakes but can still fish at shorter ranges on the others

Budget is around £250 a rod but can go upto about £300/£350 if I need to, any suggestions? Thanks

Have a read up on the Nick Buss X-Lite S. They're built on Century blanks exclusively made for Nick. As near to an 'all round' rod as you'll find IMO.

If i could justify the expense and may do one day ,i would opt for the
Daiwa Infinity DF X45 in 3.25 ,

Perfect thanks everyone, up till now I had considered some Harrison torrix, free spirit e class that's about it never really splashed out on some high end rods so at a bit of a loss tbh haha

That is the more likely I just never felt or seen one in action to see if they are worth the step up, I will most properly get a set of these anyway

Using a set of 12ft Torrix 3.25lb. Lovely rods to use.

As andy has said have a look at nick buss x-lite s ive been using my set for around 7 or 8 years now very good rods , i sold a set of te torrix to get them

I too have Nick Buss X Lite S and they are stunning to use and to look at, would recommend them.

The X Lite S is an awesome rod. I use them for everything other than proper range fishing. I recommend them.

Torrix 3.25 is a great all round rod. I also have a set of 12ft aviator plus, these are like a slightly stepped up torrix, slightly less enjoyable under the rod tip, but a bit more back bone for casting. My torrix are w14 yrars old for anyone wonderung why i have 2 sets of pretty similar rods, just treated myself to new ones. The torrix are still going strong though and come out for smaller waters

How do you like to fish? For my style of fishing (generally helicopter or running rigs with as light a lead as possible) the cerbera are nicer than the 3.25 torrix, the 3lb torrix is also nicer for my style without much difference in range.
The 3.25 torrix is nicer with heavier leads/pva bags

Anyone use or used harrison cerbera rods? Seriously considering these after being recommended them by a friend he actually sold his torrix to buy them and loves them
