TD Sol Rods

[chris268]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the difference between the first sol rods that came out vs the type II sol rods (performance,components and looks)? Also, if you have a pic comparison between the two, would u mind posting them up?

i didnt realy like any of thoe rods but the first one was defs the best

[T-Ledg]

Agreed. Don't like either of the rods. But series 1 was a better rod

Hey mate, i own the series 1 sol and personaly, i think that all the sol rods are super stiff rods. You can get a dozen other rods that are much better quality for cheaper. Also i noticed that the series ll sols are only 299 while the first series are 369. I dunno if this is just because me overpricing or just different qualitites in rods. Cheers.

Really stiff save your self a bit of cash and get a shimano t-curve. As for comparisons they Made the whole blank orange instead of just the reel seat and accents and I think that the guides are placed differently to if not a completely different style

[chris268]

thanks for the feedback guys!
breamanater and T-Ledg, how come you didn't like the rods?

[T-Ledg]

Rods were just way to stiff

[chris268]

thanks mate.
i was looking at getting the 1-3 kg rod and pair it up with a 2000 sol ill be getting next month.
i might be better off getting a $99 1-3 kg trion by the sounds of things :P

I've already got a 2-5 kg trion tournie but would like a lighter rod for the 2000 sol.

thanks again all. if you have any other recommendations for under $200, please let me know!

i bought a 1-3kg rod and would never go back.

Look I know it's 80 bucks more but I'd seriously look at the t curves awesome rods just soo sensitive you can feel a paddle tale plastic working through the blank it's insane

[chris268]

are you guys talking about the T-Curve T or the T-Curve Flights? Whats the diff between the two? The T Series seems to have alot more range.

Hey man,

I own the series 2 model in the 10-20lb model and straight away, even for its weight. It is way too stiff then it should be IMO. Considering the fact, Im still yet to give it a whirl.
hth's,
