penn squadron or rampage ????

[rugbydanny99]

alright lads,

i bought the sonik sks black 13ft from gerrys in january and i can’t fault the sales but i just hate the rod it feels like a broomstick and i find myself reaching for my old shakespeare rather than the sonik for dependability when i go out to wet a line, i’m looking to change over as i also bought 2 penn surfblasters from gerry too and i was thinking that the penn squadron looks a good companion for the reels but don’t want to make the same mistake as i did and impulse bought the sonik,

and as all the shops are closed and i can’t get into gerrys to try one out i am looking for any advice/guidance

i basically am after which rods to buy squadron surf 14ft or the rampage 2 surf??

help please

cheers in advance lads for any input

Hi Danny, I'd be tempted to hold off until the tackle shops open and you can get one in your hands.

Like Mike says Danny, best wait for the shops open,I moved onto continental rods 3 years ago bought a yuki q7 after seeing the distance iain was casting with his,also 12 months ago invested in 2 BlackRock foozas have these with 7000 surfblaster reels.

thanks paul, the Q7 is the other rods i was looking at, i can whack a lead out but when i tried one of the lads Q7 it certainly swings a lead some distance

you are 100 percent right mike....... but i want it now

Well I can recommend the Blackrod Fooza and the cheaper Blackrod Renaissance after seeing Shacky shift weights a fair distance with them.

danny I have the rampage 11 in both the 14ft and 16ft versions - if you want to have a try give us a shout and see if we can meet- you on fixed spool or multi-- as these work well with both
