Had a play with them before and they feel like a quality bit of kit. Decided on the Prologic XLNT in the end though as they were just a little thinner in the blank. Ant Effort equals reward!!

peterpikefisher 12 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) ok thanks for your help and info was going for the shimano hyperloops bx 2.75 tc found out they aren't made any more and are quite hard to come by new so it is now a toss up between shimano vengeance and the catana with the 50mm first ring some one said that the hyperloop was replaced by the vengeance but i haven't been able to get confirmation on this. looking to buy a pair of rods about the end of the month Eric's has the catanas at £69.95 spend over £100 and get free next day delivery Edited May 9, 2011 by peterpikefisher 15/06/12 PB Perch 3 lb 10 oz 03/03/11 Common Carp 23lb 6 oz 05/06/12 Sturgeon 7 lb 13 oz 06/06/12 Mirror Carp 21 lb 2 oz 09/03/13 PB PIKE 27 lb 9 oz Link to post Share on other sites
