Original 13ft Nash pursuits 2.75lb were up the with the best I've ever used. Talk about punching out a 3oz lead!

Another vote for the original SPD Maximiser blanks.....2.5lb version the best players rod I have used. I have had rods from all the big names Free Spirit, Harrison etc but these are special. Super accurate, no tip bounce and a lovely action.

Difficult choice between any of the Century rods I have owned:
Armalite mk.l 2.25lb
mk.ll 2.75lb
SP's in 2.75lb
NG's in 2.75lb

All a good rod to play fish on, and the SP's could push a 3oz lead a long, long way.

I'd never really owned "quality" rods before, but about 5 or 6 years ago I managed to pick up a set of 3 Free Spirit TS 11 footers. I absolutely loved them. About a year or so later I ran into financial difficulties and had to sell them.
As soon as I got back on my feet I went out and brought another 3 brand new. I still have them and will never sell them again. They are fantastic rods. I only ever fish with 11' rods, and the market is pretty limited for this length.

Currently using the original wychwood SPD 2.5lb TC rods, love them. Had a set years ago but sold them, missed them, so searched for another set. 8 months later, I'm using them weekly.
Are you sure?
