Greys lifetime warranty ain't worth the paper it's written on the way they discontinue rods and bring out a new model every 2 or 3 years

True. The warranty is hype. However, for the money they're not bad rods.
I've got a set of original prodigys and isoflex. Good playing action not distance broomsticks.
My current favourite rods are 13ft Rod Hutchinson Dream makers in 3lbt.c. Lovely action and perfect for where I'm fishing.

Original 2.25 tc daiwa powermesh x's for most of my fishing and original 3.5 tc daiwa infinity x's for big waters and abroad.

13ft Harrison treb lites for anything over 80yds
9ft sonik xtractors for everything else
Ive used century and free spirit in the past (i liked century but the build quality on the free spirit hi-s was poor - even the guides werent straight) even dabbled with Nash once (disastrous tat
) but for a really quality blank with excellent build quality off of the shelf it will always be harrison for me

Not the strongest caster then?
Also use Treb Lites for long stuff, Century for shorter stuff.

Currently using Harrison Acurix 2.75 for the UK and Free Spirit XS for France.

😂 until you try to use it, you'll find out that because they bring out new rods every 3 years they hold little or no spare parts for the older ones, the guarantee isn't worth a ✊💦

I've a set of Custom Cotswold R1 FTs that i just use for everything. Saves having to store different sets, and if im honest does everything i need - nice tip for playing fish, even under my rod tips, and enough grunt lower down if i move waters and have to fish at 100 yards plus.

Harrison Aviator Plus for distance 100-- yards +
12' Sonik Gravity X for all my general fishing up to 100 yards.
I recenlty bought some Nash Scopes for my current syndicate water due to lots of trees and tight swims and they have been awesome for this type of fishing. I also find I am using these more and more.
