Tideline System Boat
This is my first impressions review of the
masterline tideline system boat rod
As the name suggests this is a complete boat fishing system which comprises of 3 full
rod sections and 1 but section the rod sections are 12lbs / 20lbs / 30lbs.
The idea of the 3 sections is so you can match
the rod section with the type of fishing you are doing on that day.
The first thing that strikes you is the over all look
of quality you get with this rod
The blanks are of the highest quality carbon they and are finished beautifully.
The
line guides are all made by Fuji they are specially made for braid and are a very strong construction with an insert in each
guide.
All three sections are the same length each section has the lbs rating clearly
shown just by the joint note the superb Fuji reel fitting and finish of the sections
A close up of the new line guides shows the special wide shape of the strong
braid rings
Each of the sections are whipped and finished to the highest standard
I think this is a superb system the rod is very light in the hand yet feels
very powerful it only takes a minute or so to change the sections should your fishing dictate different tactics the finish
is superb through out and I think it is very good value for money this is a complete system rod so you are really getting
3 rods in 1 .
The rod retails at £84.95 which I think is brilliant.
