Looking at getting a 13ft setup for extreme range fishing where I can't use my boat.
Currently all my setups are custom jobs, 10fts are hi s 12ft are torrix so looking down that route really.
Anyone have any experience with 13ft 3.75 tc aviators or similar, as title suggests cost not an issue as I buy things and keep them forever generally

Depends how much of a monster you are. Aviator TE is a brute of a rod. Plus-3 a little bit less aggressive. I've got plus-2's. For me a perfect all rounder, but maybe not man-enough for what you want.

As has already been said, aviator te needs a bit of weight behind it.
I found the 13ft trebuchet lites to be a serious rod, without being an absolute broom handle. I'm a reasonable caster and could do 180yds fairly consistently with a baited rig, but that was about my max for actually fishing.

I had some Harrison Aviator plus 13fts done by Lee Preston. They are really good rods.
He explains the blanks on his website. As previously said the longest rod is the Trebuchet range. The Aviator plus in my opinion is still the best rod you can buy as its a long range do it all blank. Love mine so much got them in 10s too

Also if you go down the route of customs Lee makes unbelievable quality rods and will basically do whatever you want to them in styling. The sky is the limit how much you want to spend thats for sure
