I am planning on upgrading my rods in the new year,

I am undecided between the Greys prodigy or the Fox warrior elite, in 3ib TC.

I have read much about the Greys but not much about the Fox, are they worth £30 a rod more? or will the Fox be enough for what i want. I don't fish huge lakes, probably no more than 100yards but with my present 2.5lb TC rods, as soon as i put on a PVA bag i loose all control with casting.

Any advise would be appreciated.

I would go with the Grey's. personal prefrence.

In what way are you losing control on the cast. What size bag are you using and what size lead have you got on. 

I normally fish with a 1.5 or 2oz weight, if im fishing just a single boilie i can pretty much place where i want the bait within a couple of feet. I generally only use a small PVA bag of 70x50 with mixed pellet or a PVA tube of 25mm diameter by no more than 80mm long. I loose alot of distance and am luck to be within 10 feet of my required spot. It may be that my rods are too whippy (shimano alivio 2.5lb TC) or it could just be that i have no confidence with the extra weight.

I only bought the rods for £15 at the go fishing show a couple of years ago so they have done me well, now i have some money to spend i'd like to get some new rods but don't want to be replacing them again very soon. I've also recently seen the Prodigy rods for sale at a tackle shop for £84.99 so my decision is pretty much made.

Go with maggot give the 2.75Ib a go the 3Ib will be a bit to stiff. Mine are the 2.75Ib and i have absolutley no problem with them.

Suggestion just get 1 try it. If no good get the 3Ib you can always use that one for closer work. 

Thanks for all your help,

The Prodigy's it is
