Angry #$%!$%!!!!!!!

It hurts, snapped my black label technical series into three pieces today. To say that it stings is an understatement. Arrrrrrrggh

Could anyone suggest which rod should I buy, out of the following Please? Budget range under $400. I only use sps(landbased) so therefore it must have super fast action.

1. Harrier HR 641LXS
2. Graphite leader Vigore 64L
3. DSR820S glx if I could find it
4. Megabass Orochi XX F3.1/2-70XXS Shakey Head

Thanks guys,
$#$$$$#$$%$##$%##$

swap the dsr820s glx with the TSRglx much better rod for plastics imo faster action than the dsr.

Go for the dsr that way you have a lifetime
warranty on the rod and it won't hurt as much when
you break it.

Here's a suggestion I don't hear mentioned very often. Try a St Croix Legend Elite or Legend Xtreme. You won't go wrong with a DSR820GLX though. I got this one when I was in my Loomis phase. Have now replaced a lot of them with Megabass and one St Croix BUT have kept the DSR820 GLX and don't think I'll ever get rid of this one. It is in a class of its own. I use it for smallish fish like bream, EPs but have also used it (and landed) 4kg snapper, 2kg trevally etc.. Very versatile, sensitive and light.

lol not really in the same level of gear he's looking at

I'd got for one of your two JDM options personally the MB will be sweet but I've heard good things about graphite leader and peopel swear by the DSR so I'm sure you'll be happy with any of those.

Rod

Lol what level is that,simple dude if you no some anglers with rods you have
Mentioned ask them can you have a try fish with them and see how they go.
Try different makes of rods ,$400 hundred is a lot to spend you have to make
The right choice.
