New TrophyXL 'Royale' rods.. how are they?
« on: January 04, 2007, 03:45:27 PM »
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to check out the new 'Royale' series of rods from TrophyXL?

I've been thinking about a pin rod and noticed these new rods, TR5105MC (10'6"), and TR5113MC (11'3"). Same ones with casting handles are TR6.

Just wondering if anyone has one, or has had a chance to look at them? Wanted to hear any opinions.

I did try the royale series,it almost the same as the TFO 3113,.a lot of back bone(much stiffer and difference action rod) compare with the sage 3113 MB...
