re**I own a TX2 3lb TC and it is a through and through casting Rod.
That means FAST TAPER, and that means you won't feel those lunges a fish makes as much as a more progressive (closer to through action) Blank. (which I own and have owned many of)
You CAN'T have a Rod that does both. **

excellent post, i too have been looking to buy tx2's as heard the rod is a "through action carp rod" for a LONG RANGE rod.....absoult bollox!

Most of these dudes that spout this nonsense bollox ain't been carping 30+ years, cos back then most rods were through action/compond taper, back then LONG RANGE rods always stated FAST TAPER!

RANT OVER lol!

indeed!

anything he says in regards to the original RH scopex flavour,... i'd take with a HUGE pinch of salt

guys you can NOT make the original RH scopex flavour, cos of poxy EU regs that came in i've had most of 'em scopex flavours in recent years AND they ain't nothing like my 80's original RH scopex flavour (still have 50ml bottle half full, for sniffing only )

re: " Ridge monkey Stiff Coated Hooklink -
Pretty soft. The outer coating isn't the easiest to knot, but it seems tough as hell and the final knot seems very strong. Once steamed it's very stiff indeed. Thinner than my old spool of stiff silt (both 25lb BS). Overall it gets the thumbs up, but the fish will obviously be the ultimate judge. "

i'm also looking for some Stiff Coated Hooklink, save starting a new thread, thought i'd post here, and see what you guys think nearly 2 years on...

is there anything better out there?

@NemesisWitch - are you happy with the Ridge monkey Stiff Coated Hooklink?

or have you found a better 'Stiff Coated Hooklink'?

cheers!

is this the SECRET?!

5m Banana, 5ml Scopex, 5ml pineapple.

Mix the flavours, then use 5ml of the mix along with -> 5 drops of n-butyric.
