I'm looking to get a set of custom builds and have always fancied a set of 11ft, I'll be using them for the majority of my uk fishing.
I'm trying to decide whether to go for the torrix or aviators in 11ft and can't decide whether to go for 2.75lb or 3.25lb tc
I'd like them to be able to put a 3-3.5oz lead out to around 80 yards if needed but a lot of my fishing I put rigs out with the bait boat so playing action is more important for me.
Baby ballista 11ft 3lb is also an option. Any advice or any feedback from owners welcome, cheers.

I had 11 foot 2,5lb baby ballistas and personally don't think you need to go any heavier than that. They have the best playing action if any rod you will ever use. I only sold them as the lake i brought them for was permanently closed and now my new venue is 18 acres and i need to be able to cast further. The chap i sold them too had had fish to over 50 lb on them he loves them. I don't think you need to go any heavier than 2.5.

Thanks, I've only ever heard good things about the ballista's My only worry for 2.5 would be casting leads or small bags out hence why I'm thinking 2.75 min

Baby ballista also come in 3.5 t.c but for what you want 3lb is all you require

Thanks, do you think they'd be a better choice than the aviator or torrix 2.75?

They are much cheaper and ideal for what you want them for i still build alot of them and only ever have positive feedback regarding them.

Hi Jeff,
Between the other set of rods you made for me and my set of Dymag rods I'm fixed for the bigger water.
