Flats rod?? Whos got one and what is it?

[JamesB]

Hi Guys,

Looking to do some flats fishing this summer and really want to get more casting distance..so something around the 7'6 range..

Rods im looking at from Daiwa are -
Tournament master x interline - 2 piece TMX-I 762MLFS
Tournament Specialist Bream - 2 piece TNSB 762LFSOH
Black Label Finesse Tip - 2 piece
Team Daiwa x - 2 piece TDX 762ULFS

I have a TDX and a Black label already in 6ft ish and love them however they are 1 piece...I tend to stay away from 2 piece...

Any advice?

Thanks JB

hey james
I like to use a daiwa generation black drunken monkey 1to2 kg
with 2004 sol with 2 pound line

in my opinion I would go with a inter line rod as the are great at casting light weights long distances

13 Fishing's Omen Black 701L matched with a 2012 Daiwa Caldia with a spool of 2lb Yamatoyo spinning fluro and a spool of 6lb Rockfish PE
Hope that helps !

I've recently bought a majorcraft skyroad 79 from a member and it's an absolute weapon, quality for the money. Beautiful taper for breaming especially considering it's length and is light as a feather. Thoroughly recommend it

hey mate i use my 7'6" TDX for flats work and its very good. its not really 2 piece as the blank plugs into the grip. The TDX 6'10" UL is a competent flats rod for hbs and surface also

Anyone know roughly what a 2nd hand Daiwa interline rod would be worth the z or the x? ive been doing some reading about them and they seem to be pretty good. anyone have any advice? good or bad?
