Txi d v2 are not over complicated at all now and that’s coming from someone who still struggles with my iPhone from time to time

I use the free spirit s range 10ft 3lb lovely rods for close to medium range work 60/70 yds with the ultegra ci4 xtc 5500 granted l’m not s big caster so you might go further a lot of my fishing is close in using fluorocarbon which suits these rods and are lovely to play fish on, l have been looking at the hi s 10ft 3lb rods myself which would give me abit more distance when needed but not sure how they would cope with the close in work with been abit stiffer.

Anyone used the Prologic Density mono been told it’s better the Korda kaizen but l’ve never. heard anything about this before, but sounds alright what l’ve read but don’t they all.

I use one of the matrix nets but thought the camo mesh was a bit harsh so changed it to a shallow free spirit net which seems a lot better, or l could have just been unlucky with the one l got.

Thanks picked some of the Gardner Spod braid 35lb up today so hoping l can use this straight through with a marker and just a small Spod for the range l'll be fishing at.

Thanks for the reply sounds good to me

Can anyone recommend a braid which l could use straight through, it's only for close in work with a marker float and the odd time with a mini spomb when l can't reach with the catapult with smaller bits and bobs. Many thanks

Deep down it's probably what l was thinking is it worth changing for more 3lb 10 footers,
I do have 12 footers but the main water l on at the moment is a good walk so trying to cut my kit down now with been in my 60s now even with the barrows it's hard work and with been tree lined and most overhanging the 10 footers are great, and where most are using bigger rods casting to the far margin l'm doing quite well wading out abit flicking my rig in the near margin under the tree line, but sometimes you just can't get into one of these pegs so then l could do with a few more yards on my cast and find my s range a struggle that's the reason l was considering the hi s rods. Anyway something for me to think about and thanks for the replies and sorry for waffling on.
