TomBettle Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 The Maxximus rods make a good second rod. The sort of thig you pass to a mate who is joining you to try the sport for the day, but do bare in mind that a decent set of rings that are truly "braid rings" will be around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Ah the Solid-C debate raises it's head again! I think they a awful - so light, yet strong and cheap, truely awful!!! Not sure why I have 6!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) I have a maxximus 20-30 and use it as a Mackeral rod and for guests on my bout who are new to boat fishing, I find it a great rod for the money. It didnt stand up to hitting Tuckton bridge but then neither did my Suveran, I did replace it though as it suits my needs for the money. I also replaced the Suveran with a 20lb class new Suveran evo, it had a good first outing with a bass and 4 congers up to 35lb.

gjb Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 I have expensive rods and solid c rods but at 60p a week for these rods its worth a go and they seem quite good so if i trash 1 in a year not a great loss cheers graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Anyone know if it's the solid-c or not? I think it's worth a short drive to Salisbury 2mrw just in case they are. I love the solid--c, have mine for the last 4 years and only needed one replacement ring. Not for wrecks but great great fun for conger on the open ground, best conger was about 45lb on my 10-20lb solid-c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Bet they are not. The ones in the store in Christchurch are the "Normal" ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spireangler Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 As stated in the origanal post they are the maxximus offshore not the solid-c but still worth a look at under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
