Product Details and Uses

Sunset Mayfield TS 4m | The Sensitive Sparidae Specialist

The Sunset Mayfield TS (4m 50-100g) is a high-performance telescopic surfcasting rod specifically engineered for the delicate art of “finesse” beach fishing. Built with 24T Carbon, it is designed to be lightweight and responsive, catering to anglers who target shy-biting species like Gilthead Bream, Black Bream, and other Sparidae. The soft action is a deliberate choice, allowing for a discreet bait presentation that won’t spook wary fish.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we find the Mayfield TS to be an excellent middle ground for the mobile angler. It offers the technical “feel” of a high-end multi-section match rod with the incredible convenience and portability of a telescopic 5-section design.

Key Features & Construction

Technifibre 24T Carbon Blank: The use of 24T carbon ensures the rod is slim and easy to handle while providing a fast recovery rate. This allows you to cast 2oz to 3oz leads with surprising accuracy and distance for a “soft” rod.
Solid Carbon Spliced Tip: The Mayfield features a solid carbon tip rather than a hollow one. This acts as a sensitive “antenna,” detecting the rhythmic “tugging” of a Bream or the tiny “rattles” of a Flatfish that would otherwise be lost in a stiffer blank.
Soft “Discreet” Action: The progressive soft action serves two purposes: it prevents delicate baits (like live prawns or soft maddie ragworms) from being torn off during the cast, and it ensures that when a fish picks up the bait, it feels minimal resistance from the rod tip.
Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Equipped with bound SiC guides treated with a black anti-corrosive layer, this rod is built to live in the salt spray. The SiC inserts are ultra-hard and smooth, making them fully compatible with fine braided lines.

Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios

Estuary & Harbor Finesse: Perfect for fishing the clear waters of estuaries for School Bass and Flounder. The 4m length allows you to clear weed-covered margins while maintaining a direct connection to your lead.
Summer “Scratching”: In calm conditions when the water is clear, use this rod to target Bream and Mullet. The painted tip makes it easy to spot bites even against a shimmering sea or under a headlamp at night.
Light Beach Ledgering: Ideally suited for 2-3oz (approx. 60-85g) leads. This is the ultimate tool for “hunting” fish along the shoreline rather than simply “blasting” leads out to the horizon.
Technical Travel Fishing: Because it retracts into 5 sections, it is the perfect rod to keep in the car for “opportunistic” sessions or for taking on coastal holidays where space is limited.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict

The Sunset Mayfield TS is an elegant rod for the technical angler. It prioritizes “bite-to-hand” communication and delicate bait delivery over raw power. If you enjoy the challenge of light-line surfcasting and targeting species that require a subtle touch, the Mayfield’s 24T carbon construction and solid carbon tip make it a standout performer in the telescopic category.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: To maximize the “Sparidae” potential of this rod, pair it with a long fluorocarbon snood and a light wire hook. The soft action of the Mayfield will work in tandem with the stretch of your line to ensure that when a Bream turns with your bait, the hook finds a home without the fish ever feeling the “pull” of the rod
