I have had 3 sets of the Torrix TE over the years. Great rods Think they might discontinue the blanks as better blanks are available so best be quick getting a set

Am I being dense. Better rods are coming out soon. So rush out and get an inferior one now.

If he wants a set of Torrix and has made is mind up to have them then I am saying get a set before they are not available. Your getting other rods coming out such as the avatar which seem to have took over from the Torrix Like me some might like a particular rod and just get new ones rather than change

The 12'6 te does not have a nice playing action. Its nothing like a true through actioned playing rod.

I always find the 'is a rod nice to play fish on?' discussion rather bizzare. I can't see that the majority of the high TC rods mentioned as being good under the tip would be in my opinion.
I suppose it is all subjective to what you've used previously or started carp fishing with - if you used century focal systems previous maybe torix are nice....
Personally I feel my century C2s and NGs in 2.75lb TC are overkill for anything under 25lb....

Point taken. I was under the impression that the aviators had already superseded the torrix in the higher test curves.

You havent used a true through actioned rod then as my te's were horrible. I sold them on straight away.

All relative to the range being fished and size of fish being targeted.

Only relevant if you're not looking for an all round rod ..... the te certainly isn't that rod

Agree on the range your trying to achieve but not on the size of fish your fishing for.

When it comes down to it, it only really matters what the user of the rod thinks. Some people feel more comfortable bringing a fish in on a stiff rod, others like a bendy one.

Surely a ‘players rod' is relative to how the angler wants to play the fish, people get way too caught up in all the b*ll**** of owning tackle.

A “players rod” with a fish weeded up at 90 yards will lose you fish agreed with you it's all down to what he wants/needs 😃

So you agree with someone saying the 12.6 is a much nicer rod than the 12ft then go on to slag off the 12.6, maybe you had Daiwa reels on yours

Obviously they aren't a through action ‘players rod', they are a casting rod at the end of the day but they are a very good compromise if you don't own 4 sets of rods, ‘broom handles' they definitely ain't though

Why?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
