You've replied saying the Aviator Spod is as light as a spod rod can be which it isn't and you don't “believe” (haven't tried) the others to compare against.
You clearly haven't looked at or used the Daiwa Blanks as you'd recognise that they are significantly lighter in weight than everything else out there.
I want the lightest and easiest to use spod rod for range I can get not the one that can cast the furthest but is stiff AF and needs a perfect action to get the best out of.
You can question whatever you like but have no evidence to back up what you're saying.

The aviator isn't stiff af at all? It's very easy to get the best out of it. No I've not used a daiwa spod rod, I have used various fishing rods of theirs and have never been blown away by them. Different people get on with different things so I don't need any evidence because it's all personal preference, therefore there isnt any evidence either way

I would make contact with Mark Hutchinson and Terry Edmonds and ask them, or go for a days casting tuition and personally try out as many spod rods that take your fancy, as possible, especially before shelling out high end money.

It's only carp rods that go for thin blank/thick walls. Which tells you that the only benefit of doing it that way is cosmetic.....

Daiwa blanks are superb. Ive owned a basia and infinty spod rods also had hi s, never owned a harrison spod rod. Currently own a century graphene spod rod and its by far the lightest spod rod ive owned. Its definitely lighter than the daiwa spod rods i had. Tft are doing the 13ft daiwa basia spod rod for £240 at the minute so less than half price if you want one of those.
I looked at the new super spod reel but always wary if the basia design is suitable for long range prolonged spodding so went for the newer version emblem 35 spod reel which is less than half price at the minute at ad.

Yeah I've bought one of those 35 Spod Reels, hasn't arrived yet but was thinking of just returning it and getting the Super Spod... I usually use Shimano Reels but Daiwa for the Spod Reels.
Noticed they've got the Basia Spod Rods cheap at TFT, I've got the Basia X45 Rods and they are fantastic.

My emblem 35 spod reel came today and very impressed, feels a lot nicer than my original emblem spod. Hopefully it will last just as long. Im very tempted to get two more for my cat rods at the price there at at the min.

I was considering that rod at the price. Not sure how good it is though has anyone tried one in the 13ft spod ?
