Imo you would be better off with the crosscast 35... I considered the emblem before the crosscast and for the extra money it wasn't worth it... I've had zero trouble with line going behind the spool on the crosscasts

I still use my 12ft 3.5lb original prodigys and love them, fantastic rod imo

Hi guys...

I've been offered a mint set of platinum's from a friend for a really good price, 12ft 3lb...

Now I know they are a fairly old rod but they used to be greys flagship model, I've still got a set of original greys prodigy which I love and I've owned the prodigy plus and original x-flites but I know very little about the platinum's.

So my question is... does anyone still use them or have any experience with them that can tell me about their reliability, performance and maybe components used in manufacture? Any info would be great.

Thanks

Only one I can think of now is the jrc contact barrow... had one a few years ago, was a good barrow from memory

I know they aren't universally like on here from what I've read but I've been using Trakker DB7-R alarms for about a year now and they have been excellent, not missed a beat... but i also have a set of ATTs as back up and they are brilliant little alarms too.

Take a risk on the new avid alarms

Aerlex 10000xtb perhaps

I use this one from carper tackle and never had it leak
