Thanks Mike,
The rod arrived this afternoon.. not had a chance to try it out yet, but it is certainly a lovely looking rod, and not a single mark on it anywhere, doesn't look like its ever even been held.
Superb build quality, and love the tartan rod bag...
Feels very light, but def. not floppy.
Can't wait to get the reel on it and take it fishing!.
Cheers folks,
Keith
