I got the 12ft 3.25 I can't really explain fully but there is something about these rods the only thing I can say is no effort to cast the feel of them is incredible never felt anything like it in other rods as for breaking there probably talking about scopes which are not in the same class as aircuve

3.5oz casting weight seems optimal for the 3.25tc
A well packed solid pva bag should go 80 yards easy

Had mine for a couple of years now and still as happy with them as I was when I posted below, and even had the pleasure of catching a few to high 30s and they have been a dream to play a fish on. Casting wise I rarely fish long distance but with a 3oz lead can hit 100 yards quite comfortably

Bought a set of 12ft 3.25tc myself last year and have caught fish to just under 30lb on them.
Fantastic rods for the price, they can chuck a 4oz lead 120yards+ no problem and have a lovely playing action to them. Highly recommend.

Agreed. Great rods and so easy to use. Casting solid bags has never been so easy but they are also great to play fish on.
I have the 12ft 3.25lb TC and woukd recommend them.

Has anyone had these snap/break? As Greys seems to have a reputation for breaking rods.

Hi All
I'll weigh in here and most likely get slated, but hey ho let's give this a try
"Has anyone had these snap/break? As Greys seems to have a reputation for breaking rods"
A while ago in the world of carp fishing there was a magician, not only did he make some amazing wands (carp rods) but he used to test many others by basically breaking them and testing them to their limits.
Due to the onset of winter and a family feud greys got the bulk of his fury. Which is a shame as Grey's rods are top quality and well worth the price.
His name has been consigned to the dark regions of the carp world legacy, but he was the SON of a mr HARRIS

If memory serves me right the mk1 x flights were dark green blanks by a UK manufacturer,

Don't know what is happening to peoples rods but I have given my aircurves some punishment my casting technique is frankly awful as my upper body is not flexible at all so my 140 yard casts are just giving it a pure thump and had no problems with them
