The allegience II is an excellent rod and extremely good value for money. I've not used a defiance.

Re: Suggestions for Phillip Island
Nah that's on the other side out near Ventnor but it's the same deal. Cast a spike about a metre and a half under a float. Wait. Squid.
Not a complicated game at all.

A fair bit undersized for marlin, swords and barrels? the lack of line capacity for swords would struggle too? Carl uses the Talica...

Re: Repairable?
Strange for a Terez to snap there.
Bin it to be honest. You could get it repaired but it's not going to be the same and will be vulnerable to snap again on a decent fish.

Re: Best Surf Fishing Rod
Dougie said a really good point. Even if its light, the leverage ratio casting longer rod will still be more difficult. E.g. 12ft rod at 150gm casting 40gm lure/sinker, to me is still harder than casting a 9ft rod at 200gm casting the same lure/sinker. Cheers, this sort of info is exactly what I ne...

Having a weight on the end of it is a different thing to having an unloaded rod. I'm not sure how you'd even cast a 40g on a 13 foot rod o...

Re: Best Surf Fishing Rod
I've had a Messiah for 6 years and it never missed a beat. I freaking love this rod. Here it is on a metre of kingfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X3pGRWLbEA&t=2s&ab_channel=Annaren BUT A longer rod will give you more trouble casting and fighting fish if you're not athletic or biomechanically ...
