I have a set of Aviator plus in 13ft and are capable of everything i throw at it. 3.5tc so not to stiff and the tips are pretty soft for a rod that can cast decent distances. I do also have a set of 10fts that I use for boat work as 13fts are a bit of a pig to use in a boat

140+ is in the range category IMO . . .personally wouldn't go near standard Aviator Plus in 12' - its a dog IMO especially in the casting category - 12' Plus 2 is 3.5tc and presumably stiffer (I've never messed with it) but so is the standard 13' Aviator Plus and with its extended tip its a much more versatile (and easier to cast) tool than the 12' variant . . .

Going by the fact you're considering Aviator plus 2's I'm guessing you have a £1200+ budget. I would consider looking for a cheaper set of all out long range rods and keep a couple of hundred pounds back for a cheap set of soft 10 footers for close range fishing.

If you want a rod that's capable of 150, then forget any talk of an allrounder, that's a specialised tool.
Only a stiff rod will get those distances.

Max casting 140/150.
I understand that there is no true all rounder. But I don’t want to have multiple rod set ups, cost wise I can’t afford it lol.
Just want a rod that can at best cast long, not be a total broomstick. If fishing under my tips I can let the rod do the work with the clutch and back wind of the reel

How far do you need to cast? That’s all that really matters.

No such thing as an "allrounder", at best you'll get a compromise. Aviator aren't under the tips rods, other than the flex. And those aren't for real long range. Can't speak for the other 2 you mention. Under the tips you want soft and forgiving, long range you want something stiffer with a faster action.

Afternoon all.
I’m looking for a new set of rods.
I’m after an all rounder. Some bag work, with the occasional long distance fishing but also under my tips. 12ft rods as couldn’t get on with 13ft or 12’6.
I have been looking at a few rods,
South coast rods, code cipher rods or Harrison aviator plus 2.
Also Rings, I want some rings that will stand the test of time, thinking maybe kigans. But also looking at the new style forward facing rings. Do these actually help with casting??
