People putting logos of brands they pay for on their bait buckets, or buying tshirts with fishing brands on is really strange. They actually pay to wear it

What i keep seeing recently is monster energy drink stickers all over peoples cars. Whats that all about

It could have Mr.blobbys name on it for all I care, if a product is good and does a job well then I couldn't give a toss what it looks like

But you can buy perfectly good, in fact better rods without somebody's name on them and in a length or test curve you actually want rather than making a compromise to look like Terry; which somebody has said already they will do haven't they?
It's obvious, the sniper was arguably a better rod but never took off... why? It didn't have Terry's handle and name on it

I think it's for when they wear them to a football match and there's a player short then the manager will look up into the packed thousands in the stand and say

“ he's got the correct shirt, see if he'll play a game for us”

Don't know about the snipers but the vertex was a far better rod in my opinion.

👍 Another one for that.

I thought the Vertex tapers were the what next generation of ESP Terry Hearn's were built on, especially as they kept the 12'9” variants.

I thought the Vertex were lovely cosmetically and im sure the action would of been great but i felt they were too heavy in the hand ... why i went for the Tectrix

Never used Snipers myself but used the 12'9" Vertex distance in 3.5lb for the past decade. I use SS3000 on them G4FNE and they feel nice and balanced. The thing I really like about them is casting accuracy upto about 120( the playing action is second to none as with most Drennan rods). Suited me far more than Harrison/FS rods I owned at the time. No doubt there's better around now but unless these get nicked or smashed I won't be finding out
