i agree ---i got a rod from e bay £23.99 incl pp --well a havnt recieved it yet --but it looks ok 9ft 3pc #5-6 wt spring creek effort ---broke the tip of my old faithful airflo classic --and was looking for somethin that i could take with me for all nighters and days when mr white and mr mackay may be along
its too easy to trip up in the heather or climbin fences , fallin in ditches etc ----and in my opinion most of these modern blanks have got to be pretty good --better than the old fibreglass ,possibly, from yester-year ---i have tried some expensive wands --and yip you can tell the difference, but you do get used to a rod ---ive too many anyway --but when you see somethin that looks ok ,and i know im not gonna burst into tears if i break it --then im buyin it
cheers davey
