Hi,

Do the esp quickdraw rods fit into the scope rod holdalls?

Thanks

If someone knows for sure that's fine but if not be best to take rod to shop to try it only has to be a little bit shorter then it won't go in or different reel seat position
Also what's your opinion on these rods and what tc did you get thinking of getting a set maybe 3.5 tc 10ft thanks

Yes they definitely do as thats the setup my mate at work has in 10ft

I've got the 3.25's and they're plenty stiff enough. With they did 2.75's tbh

I have the 3.5lb 10ft ESP. I use them for boat fishing and for that they are great. If I had to cast but could only use retractable rods then I would get another set of 3lb scopes.

The ESP rods have a short handle, feels weird to cast and the action is stiff. Good for pulling 8oz leads back through weed,not so nice to fish with.

The 3lb mk2 scopes were actually really nice rods. Cast well and had a decent action, a much nicer blank than the Quickdraw.

They should be at double the price I wouldn't buy anything Nash

You say short handles as esp are advertising saying full length duplon if your right I will take it up with them

Quickdraws have a pretty long handle for a retractable rod, definitely similar to the scope if not a touch longer possibly, they possibly look short in the pics online because there's quite a big section of the blank after the handle

I am answering post 5 he said the handle is short and he has a set

In reply to Post #8
There is duplon the full length of the handle. Therefore, full length duplon.

And i also had a set for a while so am fully aware of how long the handle is, it is one of the longest on the retractable rod types.

Ok is it as long as a normal carp do you think

In reply to Post #13
I will measure them when I'm at work Tomorrow mate as my boss has them . From memory they're a little shorter than the terry hearn handles but not by much

In reply to Post #14
Ok thanks that's what put me off them

In reply to Post #15
The complete handle length is 24 inches from the top of the duplon above the reel seat to the butt cap
