Hi guys.
I introduced myself a while ago but haven't been online in a while. I'm hoping you could help me make a decision on 2 rods. Here in South Africa it's not easy getting hold of float rods, or any type of course rod for that matter apart from carp rods.
On the float side I'm currently using a Rovex John Wilson XTM match rod which were selling as cheap as chips here. R150 - around £8.50. I've been using it for over a year for carp from 5 - 13 lb. I love the rod but it's a little outgunned against these fish - I want to keep it for when I visit some of our bigger wild waters that hold smaller specimens (weighed in grams not kilos).
Most of my fishing is in still waters, but I'd like to have a go at trotting for yellowfish also.
So I've turned over a few stones and have 2 options on rods here.
1. The Daiwa Sweepfire Match Rod 13ft, 2-8lb rating or
2. The Korum cs 12ft float, 3-8lb rating.
What would you guys suggest between these two? It's a little difficult for me because I have to buy blind.
