Hello guys from far away!
I'm not from UK so i don't have the big possibility to try some of the brand's of the rods but i wish to have a set of 3 custom rods but i wish you to help me to chose a good blank. I have speed in arms and force (5 ft and 9 inches and 187 lbs)
So in the end I need 3 examples of blanks light,thin,fast bust also powerful enough for casting because i'm fising only on big lakes from the shore. And most important not to bee a broomstick
Sorry if i have a bad english

Torrix TE
Will cast 180 in the right hands and 140+ in most
And one of the better actions for a distance rod

Torrix TE
Which one??
If you are inferring the 12ft 6" Terry Edmonds version then I would have to agree...

Why thin, for what reason OP? When you say big, how big are these waters you plan to fish as it's all relative.
For long range 100yds+ and heavy leads:
Am biased, though I think the Harrison Trebuchet Lite is a fantastic rod.
There's also the Harrison Aviator Plus which is a slimish blank, or the Aviator TE version.
3rd would be Century C2-D.

Yes indeed the 12.6 Terry Edmonds. Had a set for a good few years and think they're perfect for big waters

I'm similar height and build to you and my casting is nothing special but I can put a baited rig 140, and further than that in the right conditions. I had similar requirements to you about five years ago and the TE was the best option I could find. The rod builder described it as where fishing rod meets casting rod, and I'd say that's about right.
Harrisons have since launched the Aviators which I have no experience of but would also check out.

Yeah I went with 12'6 TE's after the builder recommended them for me.
Had them for about 5 years and imo they are a absolutely fantastic rod for anything between 40-140 yards

Maybe the Trebuchet light is better for what I want

The treb lite is an excellent distance blank, but its not a thin one
Im a fairly good caster and on a lesson a good few years back i cast a treb lite 185yds + consistently with a few over 190. The mate that i went with uses 12'6 te's and i couldnt get them past 170, its was normally about 160ish. That being said, the te is a much slimmer and lighter feeling blank
