The NGT carbon one believe it or not is very good, better than the Ridgemonkey one at least
I use the pro logic carbon one which is probably the same as the Tackle Box carbon stick and the NGT one?

I have an ace and put 18mm 110 yards.
Guys. The unthinkable has happened and I've killed my ACA/Warwick stick. Is there any other stick that can genuinely come close the ACA for distance? I'm after a nice long carbon stick. The Fox one looks quite long and I looked at the Daiwa too.
Any advice?
None of them publish stick length on their site ffs!!!

Ngt ones are spot on for the price bud

Value for money is the least of my worries buddy. In fact if anyone has an ACA sitting around I'll happily give them 200 notes for it. I need genuine distance.

If you do range fishing regularly, and specialise and tweak things to suit.
Bait, get it as perfectly round, hard in texture, and dense in weight.
Get the right throwing stick, most go for curved carbon and lightweight and lots and lots of practice.
But remember to properly warm up the hand, forearm and shoulder muscles as long range stick work is brutal !

How long was the aca stick?
My cfx stick seems to go further than the easy stick but I guess you need a fair bit more

I did have a very large collection of sticks dating back to the Cobra ally ones over a dozen different ones some I picked up when in Holland and France
but TWO stood out for distance the Solar Tackle Sharp Shooter was amazing for long distance once you learnt how to use it a completely different technique had to be used it was more like using it like a fishing rod cast
the other one that was outstanding and my favourite was the awesome DIAWA INFINITY throwing stick a joy to use and capable of very long distances
sold them all now except one thats the Harrison straight stick not a long distance stick by any means but superbly accurate to around 100 yards ish

Try Orient Rods...they have a UK faceache page and a UK mobile number. The set up is a bit random but the sticks are really well made, i've had one a while and can't fault it.
'The Bombus' is similar to the ACA (not sure on curve length as they all differ a bit) and you get a choice of lengths which is definately handy for mega distance but the really long ones are definately a two handed affair....ooh errr missus

The Diawa infinity is what i ended up going for for distance. Its a good stick.
If you pass near north of brum regularly and want to have a borrow for a week or so, give me a shout.

I've got the 1100 and a 1300 in 27mm. Baits need to be fully air dried and rock hard to get the most from them but you can put 24mm baits miles
