i have the chub outkast they are 2.5lb tc and seem very well made about 60 pound each. im happy enough with them got from johnson ross 3 or 4 years ago. quite a few small rings which seem to work well with action on shorter rod

Just look on ebay. I bought 3 x nash scope 9ft 3.5tc rods as new for £260. Bargains to be had with a bit of patience

Darent Valley (The tackle box's own brand) have a 9ft range. I have the 3lb version and they're cracking little rods for the money. Around £55 each

Sonik Xtractors paired with Okuma Inc 6000, loved this setup over the winter so far
I would agree with the second hand Scope shout. I picked up 3 x 9ft 3lb mk2 for £280 in good condition.
I also own an 11ft Darent Valley rod and although decent for the money the Scope have much better fittings.

Scopes are a great shout but a mate of mine just purchased some wychwood riots in 9ft and they seem like a lot of rod for the money, lovely in the duplon version

Daiwa crosscasts the shimano sonik xtractors and insurgent are all good value the nash are overpriced compared to the others and nothing special

Another endorsement for the cross cast rods. The Xt's are really good blanks for the money and the fittings are also good.
unless you specifically want retractable i would go for a standard 9ft rod

Agreed. I use mine for stalking / edge fishing not sure I'd want to use them further out like my 12ft rods.

I've noticed lately there's a lot of people don't like retractable rods I must say they are easy to store at home and car but there a bit of a faff setting them up and packing them up compared to two piece

Tips on both my 9 foot dwarfs snapped. Different types bought 4 years apart. Not user error and only rods I've ever had snap in 40 years.

I just joined a tree lined lake that needs small rods as they've chosen not to do any cutting back, etc. got 2 sonik xtractors, with matching reels and bags on Facebook market place for £100. There are bargains to be had!

I've really enjoyed using some Grey's 3 piece 9ft stalkers so much so looking to upgrade to something from century/Harrison but they seem to be quite rare in the s/h market and hold their value.
Anyways, Grey's have been lovely to use about £90 each and decent through action. Got myself one of the century/thinking anglers bags and a 2 piece sniper net all in for about 300 quid.
If your not in too much of a rush I'll be putting up the rods and net (quite floppy handle) in the next week or two, just need to get myself replacement rods first.

Nash had plenty of chances the last 15 years to knock their idea on the head of bringing out a budget range yet keep on making the same mistakes.
