Hi

Looking for a set of new rods 12ft 3.5lb for distance work 100yrds + my budget is £100-150 per rod so not after anywhere near the best. I just need a decent set for occasional use.

Cheers in advance for the advice !

Free spirit ctx is a good choice but I would go for 3.25

They are an option I have been considering any reason why the 3.25 and not the 3.5?

With the 3.25 you can easily hit 100.yard , if + 120 yard is needed then go for the 3.50

Total fishing tackle: Daiwa Crosscast Carp Rods TT Sets 50% off now

No idea how good they are maybe someone here has them and can say something about it, for me in the price range 100-150 and 12ft the Free spirit Ctx are unbeatable

I did look at the Crosscast but couldn't find much on them apart from a biased Carpology review.

The free spirits are deffinetly an option. I have also asked future fishing to get back to me on their restock as I don't mind waiting a short while

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I've decided to wait untill the future fishing custom power mesh rods come back in stock. I really like the look of them and the price helps !

While you are waiting,definitely look at the Tackle Box own CF-X. Rods. They are doing a deal with a quality free carbon net if you buy 3 x 3.5lb 12 footers. These are great, good looking rods for the price. Bought one a few months ago. Big plus is they come with the SAH branded life time guarantee and with the Tackle Box they mean what they say.
Are you sure?
