Hi All,
I'm a HI S user (3.5's, 13ft ive's and 13ft 200's). These are quite aged but seen as benchmark rods.
Are there more superior rods with quick recovery tips capable of Long distance in cross winds,big leads,bags etc or am I best sticking with my Hi S?
I can do about 30 -32 wraps /120yds ish at a push with my casting style (suits me).

Your 13 ft rod wraps, correct me if I'm wrong, 30 - 32 wraps would be 130 to 138 yards.
Still far enough for most people ( myself included ) Those Hi-S rods are still great range tools.
So how much further do you need/want to cast, is it level line or is this with lighter line or braid/leader ( if lake rules allowed ).

No experience with Hi S other than others I know who love them . . .I'm a self confessed bang average caster but quite like the look of the SCR ST13-Ci (South Coast Rods) and if you believe the marketing vids these are manageable range rods . . .maybe worth a go?

13ft harrison trebuchet lites are a serious distance rod that have a bit of a tip too. When choosing them i cast them against the 13ft HI S and I was consistently 15-20 yds further with the harrisons
Their off the shelf build quality also seems a lot better

I’ve got a set of the SCR 13’, they are absolute weapons. I’m well out of practice casting due to not going enough and using 10’ a lot the past year but have got the big rods out this week and put a Rig 140 Yds after a couple of goes.

No -sticks 12ft / 4yds always regardless what rod I use.
Anyone owned a Hi S 200 and changed?
Yeh seen the vids on those SCR. Not sure if marketing stuff. Hear plenty good feedback on Treb lites.Had those in mind too.

I spoke to Graham from SCR at Sandown and he seemed genuine and certainly not hard-sell. . .I cannot imagine team England (who presumably need to blast baits to the horizon) would use the rods if they didn't have some minerals . . . I think you can test them as well if you contact them - as I've said previously this should be something all manufacturers / the larger retailers should do for free (like golf clubs) especially with expensive casting tools . . .
