Helical is not worth €1 for me compared to the Sonik vader x rs

Those guides on the Helicals are Temu quality

Has anyone got any longer term reviews on the kaizen green ? I’ve got the spod rod and I think it’s brilliant for the money. Been looking at the 12ft 3.5tc and wondering if it’s capable of casting 4oz bags/leads to a max of 100 yards

For 100 per rod look at the used market, you'll get way more for your money.

They're very good, I dont fish with bags but fish at distance through weed and whilst they are maybe a bit soft they get me where I wanna be accurately with a 4oz tournie lead

Comfortably hitting 100 yards with fluro without pushing it. There is more there but I haven't had to push them, so enough for me bud 👍
