I have a couple of fox ones that didnt cost the earth - around £60/70 they are nice and light and cast well. I have a couple of original Rocketeers 13ft spods and these are heavy as and despite what they cost i think the fox are way better.

Been looking at the kaizen green and free spirit ctx. Both seem to get decent reviews. Anyone got any experience of these ?

I've got the CTX and it's great. But hear great things about the Kaizens too.

Kaizen green 12ft is so much better for me than my old free spirit “the spomb”

I thought for £100 it was deffo worth a punt. Seen a lad on a lake I fish with the 12ft 4lb ones the other week. Said he just bought them to see what they are like and now uses them all the time instead of his main rods. Seen him play a fish on them and they had a good curve in them not straight and stiff. He had basias on them so must be using them because they are good and not because it's all he can afford.

Has anyone tried the 13ft Green?
I got one the other day but haven't used it yet.
Are you sure?
