Hi

I have been spining for bream and dusky flathead for many years now and have tried many different rods and currently my 2 favourite rods when using either soft plastics or hard body lures for bream or dusky flathead are as follows:

1. Shakespeare Synergy Graphite softbait 1.95m SP661L

2. Shakespeare Synergy Graphite softbait 2.1m SP701L

what is your favourite rod?

Most of my rods are home made so here are some.-

favorite bream rod is my home rolled Pacific Composties Ultraspin 1850 HMG
My bait rod is an old solid glass rod I revived and is so sloppy, lovely for light lines, it also doubles as an esturary nigger rod.

Salwater spinner 7kg is a Snyderglas FMT108

Flattie rod is a 6'6" JW Vector (cheap but effective) and a Samurii 006.

Jewie rod is still under construction (Pacific Comp PROCAST 2)

Strudwick Sofbodz Finnesse 6' 1-3kg for Plastics

G Loomis "Custom" C641 GL2 ( 1-3kg casting Blank i had built into a spinning stick) hard bodies into short range snags.

G Loomis SB 721 GL2 i use as a bit of an allrounder, i like the soft action in the tip that quickly gets reinforced bu the power in the butt.

Under construction
G Loomis S782 IMX which i will put TI-LVGG Gold Cermets on, this rod is something differant from what i have been using

I am also aquiring the new Speed Samurai S001X 7' which i plan to build using the Spin Kits that "Jeff Frogley" Fugi Agencies are putting togethor. Apparantley Ian Miller did a good write up on this blank in Last months Fishing monthly, see how it goes.
