I picked up the 12ft spod rod yesterday. Seemed a lot of rod for the money.
I'm sure they will sell thousands.

If I had to fish consistently over 120 yards I would take the Korda rods over the Aviators, even at the same money. Would prefer smaller guides, but who really cares. So much b**locks written about rods and reels, they are just a tool for a job.

His post is probably part of his stand up routine.

I don't blame a rod builder for perpetuating the myth that a carp rod needs to be anything but a half decent bit of bendy carbon for slinging leads as far as the fish. We all have bills to pay. It's the people who eat it up and regurgitate.

Fly rods are obviously different.

I'd feel like less of a plonker sitting in the Uno so I'd probably take that. We're all different.

Id tell him to get whatever he wants to get that he can afford. The post i answered stated he would rather have the kaizen green over an aviator even if it was the same price .

In this case yes, as I already have a set of Aviators. As a tool to cast a baited rig beyond 120/30 yards the cheap Kaizen are (in my experience) a better rod than the Aviator. The rings are junk, they don't have a tarty weave, but they will put a lead a long way accurately and easily.

As I said earlier, I was in a field, so didn't play a fish, but a load of old cobblers is spoken about fish playing action too.
