Hello all,

I'm considering buying new 12ft rods. I tried Shimano TX-5, Sportex Catapult CS-3 and Daiwa Emblem XT X45 all in 3.25lbs in the shop. Daiwa suited me best, it was softer than others in the same TC. Does anyone here have experience with this Daiwa rod? Especially in terms of TiForged Air guides. Or I'd be happy to recommend another one in the same price range.
