Smaller rods (22 posts / 2,606 views)

Currently in the market for a set of smaller rods, 9/10 foot something like that. Would be looking for these rods to cover a multitude of situations, decent for use in a boat, stalking in tighter swims, good playing action but also ideally good playing action for surface angling aswell - a good all rounder. Not too bothered about casting capability. Price isn't an issue.

Was thinking about coupling them up with a pair of ss2600's. I've heard a lot of people having good things to say regarding the scopes and free spirit 10 footers but unsure what tc people recommend for the situations listed above.

Cheers in advance.

Nash scope 10ft 2.25lb would be ideal will do what you need or if you want slightly heavier test curve the 2.75lb test curve version

I use a 9ft 2.25lb scope for exactly what you're describing. Quite a bit softer than my 3lb scopes, much easier to flick out a surface controller.

Tackle box CFX 10ft rods are a nice option.

Have a look at the sonik recons 8ft 2.5 test. I think it's based on the dwarf blank, might be wrong. But super compact, fold down to about 30 odd inches and ideal for quick stalking sessions, plus at about £50 a piece from Go Outdoors.

I'd look at the daiwa gs4000 rather than the 2600...

Never had any problems with the GS4000 reels I've got. Think they are lovely reels
