yes Ben, it's very nice.
nicer still are the Maxia (Spain) range for these types of rods.  :z16

Could you describe the action and stiffness at all Marc or better still do you have or know of any CCS data?  I would be using it mainly for bandies in wild lochs with an SLX and maybe a bit of g*% nymphing stuff (with a fly line)  :z4

That's the Union Jack Marc the flag of the United Kingdom. If it were an English flag it would be.... how shall I put this...... less colourful and considerably simpler :wink
However there's no denying that it is the flag that is frequently (if not always) used to represent an English language option on many websites.

H :cool:

Strictly speaking its the Union Flag, Jack should really be used in a Naval context  :wink

Originally comprising of the English and Scotish flags, Ireland was added in 1801 which became Northern Ireland in 1921. Poor Wales don't get a look in as they are a Principality and not a Kingdom.
