Comfortably hitting 100 yards with fluro without pushing it. There is more there but I haven't had to push them, so enough for me bud 👍

What sort of distance are you getting mate ?

They're very good, I dont fish with bags but fish at distance through weed and whilst they are maybe a bit soft they get me where I wanna be accurately with a 4oz tournie lead

For 100 per rod look at the used market, you'll get way more for your money.

Has anyone got any longer term reviews on the kaizen green ? I’ve got the spod rod and I think it’s brilliant for the money. Been looking at the 12ft 3.5tc and wondering if it’s capable of casting 4oz bags/leads to a max of 100 yards

Helical is not worth €1 for me compared to the Sonik vader x rs
Those guides on the Helicals are Temu quality

Used ESP Vertex Long Distance 👍
You’ll be glad to be amongst the select band ‘in the know’ 👍😎

If I were looking to spend £100 a rod, I'd definitely be looking at the secondhand market.
I've seen Ballistas, Daiwa Infinities and various other quality rods go for £100 each.
The rods I currently use are Nick Buss X-lite's that I bought for £100 each, superb rods, although difficult to find.

I’ve got a set of 13ft Extreme TX2 rods, very good rods for the money. The others I have no experience of however.

I've got the Crosscast 3lb in 10ft and it is a lovely rod

Another option for you is The Daiwa Crosscast Traditional rod, might be worth a look. A friend has them in 12ft 3lb test and really likes them.

Original fox horizons might also be worth considering. S/h they go for about 50 quid a pop 3lb tc is a lovely rod

No, not suited to the kind of fishing I mostly do, definitely prefer 12's
Shortlist seems to be, in no particular order.
Esp Onyx
Korda Kaizen Green
Shimano TX2
Fox S3
Free Spirit Helical
But I'm not a fishing snob and if there are good rods available from what some deem to be lesser brands they would make the list too.
