Pflueger Trion 2-4kg 7ft 1 piece or 2 piece

Pflueger Trion 1-3kg 7ft 1 piece

Berkley Dropshot 2-4kg 7.2ft 1 piece

Shimano Jewel 1-4kg 7.2ft 1 piece

Shimano Jewel 1-3kg 7.6ft 2 piece

Shimano Raider II Finesse Bream 1-4kg 7.2ft 1 piece

Starlo Stix Tournament Flat Spin 2-5kg 7.10ft 2 piece

I know its best if i go into a shop and fell them for myself, but if it was up to you??

Starlo 2 piece for me, but i know a lot of peeps on this forum love the pflueger and berkley rods. If that helps.

I have a Trion 2-4kg and a SSX tournament 7'3" 1pc and they are both nice. It depends what reel you will use with it. I use my Trion with a 2500 Stradic CI4 and love the combo for breaming. The Starlo is heavier and I now use it as a kayak rod for squid/skippy etc with a 2500 Exceler. 1 piece can be annoying.

the trions are no doubt a great rod for the price! ive had one and i couldnt complain.

I have one of each of the pfluegers you have noted and they are awesome I prefer the 1-3kg and one piece is a must IMO.
I didn't know that there is a 7 foot 2-4kg as mine is 6"6', reckon the extra 4 inches might help wirh casting

I own 4 Pfleugers & use Daiwa 2000 Sols on 3 of them...Verdict PERFECTION!!!
On the 4th Pfleuger B/Cast I use a Pfleuger B/Cast reel & its great also

Pflueger Trion 2-4kg 7ft 2 piece

and Shimano Jewel 1-3kg 7.6ft 2 piece if u dont mind its look.


Starlo Stixs got nice blank but their components seem cheap. I hv heard several mates said the guide would be oxidized after sometimes.

Correct... i have a Midspin and the guides do oxidize after use so you have to stay on top of the maintenance. The SSX's are great rods though.

I havent had a look at the Trions yet.

I personally like the feel of the 7ft 2 Raiders and the SSX Litespins.
