    not sure bro... a few fellows selling their horizon sc on FK and seldom see at the shops these days from what a friend told me, the sc isn't as powerful as those uk styled rods when it comes to field casting! I'm no pro at it but statistics does show that the majority field casters goes for Zziplex/Century sticks.

    I'm using Team Daiwa S Surf Classic, Shimano Surf Leader EVSF and a Daiwa Prime Caster paired to Shimano Baitrunner D, Spin Power & Pro Surf. I'm basically a surf fisherman. Not a distant caster

    You're more than welcome to join me at Cafhi Jetty but don't expect big rays or remarkable catches cos it took me more than 2yrs to break the 5kg barrier! hahaha
