Good quality if you can get them for the right price. I've got three and would recommend them highly as an intermediate type option. Obviously they're not as good as the high end rods, but you pay for what you get. Cheers.

I considered getting one a while back, they are nice light little sticks, with a nice action, as Wazza said decent sticks if you can get them for a decent price

If you can get tackle fairly cheap, how about going up even more to the high end stuff?

dont worry i would be using loomis's if the shop stocked them. work doesnt stock any high end breaming sticks so the Tcurve is about the best i can get without paying full price elsewhere.

hey luke the t-curve range of rods are brillant. ive had mine for a few months now and i find it great. i even have a rack raider and i find that awesome as well i used that to tackle small gts up north and it handled it so easy plenty of power in the butt. i have hooked up to a few tailor on my small tcurve and it handled it now probs as well. obviously the more expensive rods are great and have had probably a little more time and effort into building them but it's obviously gonna depend on what your budget is and how much fishing you are gonna do. i don't see no point in buying a say for example a 500 dollar rod when ya only gonna fish a few times a week or month. start of with something mid range and see how ya go.

Cheers
Tim

i personally like the Tcurve better than both the sicstik pro and softbodz, hence why im not getting them lol. the softbodz finesse is a totally different price range from what ive heard so i havent even looked at those
