Product Details and Uses

Sunset Respect TS 14′ | The Elegant Telescopic Surf Specialist

When the conditions call for a “finesse” approach to beach fishing—such as clear water, calm seas, or shy-biting species—the Sunset Respect TS (14′ 60-120g) is the ultimate tool. This is not a stiff, heavy-duty “beach caster”; it is a sophisticated, soft-action telescopic rod designed for light and discreet surfcasting. Built on a 24T “Technifibre” carbon blank, it offers the portability of a telescopic design without sacrificing the sensitive “soul” required for technical beach work.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend the Respect TS for the “scratching” specialist. It is the perfect choice for targeting Bream, Flatfish, and Mullet, where a delicate presentation and the ability to see the tiniest “rattle” on the tip are the keys to success.

Key Features & Construction

Soft Progressive Action: The “Respect” series is named for its gentle handling of both bait and fish. The soft action ensures that delicate baits (like maddies, harbour rag, or peeled prawn) aren’t torn off during the cast. It also provides a cushioned fight, preventing hook pulls on soft-mouthed species.
Ultra-Sensitive Solid Carbon Tip: Unlike many telescopic rods that can feel “numb,” the Respect TS features a spliced-in solid carbon tip. This acts as a highly sensitive antenna, registering the most delicate of bites that a stiffer rod would simply ignore.
Technifibre 24T Carbon: The use of 24T carbon allows the rod to remain incredibly slim and lightweight. At 14ft, it offers a massive amount of reach to clear the shoreline “dump” or weed, yet it feels balanced and effortless to hold.
Black Anti-Corrosion SiC Guides: Every guide is bound (not just glued) and treated with a black anti-corrosion coating. This ensures the rings stay secure and the frames remain rust-free even after constant exposure to salty air and spray.

Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios

The 60-120g (approx. 2oz – 4oz) rating defines this rod’s specialized role:

Light Summer Surfcasting: Ideal for fishing for Golden Grey Mullet, Plaice, and Dab in calm conditions. The 14ft length allows you to use long, light fluorocarbon traces that “flutter” naturally in the water.
Estuary Finesse: Perfect for fishing the edges of sandbanks or mudflats for Flounder and School Bass. The soft tip won’t spook a fish when it first picks up the bait.
Mediterranean Style “Beach Ledgering”: Specifically designed for the “Light Surf” techniques popular in Europe, where distance is achieved through rod length and thin lines rather than brute force.
Travel & Stealth: Because it is a 5-section telescopic rod, it retracts to a very manageable size. It’s perfect for the mobile angler who walks miles to find “the spot” or wants a high-quality rod that fits easily in the car boot.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict

The Sunset Respect TS is a rod for the thinking angler. It isn’t built for hurling 6oz leads into a gale; it is built for the joy of “feeling” the fishing. The combination of the Aluminum butt cap and the Varnished handle gives it a premium, classic look, while the Technifibre carbon provides modern performance. If you want a long, sensitive rod that is easy to transport and a dream to fish with, the Respect TS is in a league of its own.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: To truly unlock this rod’s potential, pair it with a 5000 or 6000 size fixed-spool reel and a very thin main line (around 0.20mm – 0.25mm) with a light shock leader. Using a 3oz (approx. 85g) lead will allow the rod to “load” perfectly, giving you surprising distance with very little effort
