I have a set of 9ft 3lb cork scopes and am very happy with them. Can get a lead over 100yards when I need to and landed plenty of fish on them.

Have you looked at the Sonik Insurgents?
I've recently swapped my Explorers for these after some good reviews on here, I'm very pleased with them.

To me the Nash , aqua , Cotswold and Sonic rods appear to use the same blank
I have scopes and a sonic spod rod , both do the job for me

Have a look at Chiltern Custom Rods.
Thrilled with my retractable rods from them.

I have the Aqua Atom rods and really like them. Nice carbon blank, 50mm ringing is spot on and have used them at home and in france to good effect

Any idea who makes the blanks ?
I love mine but if someone could build me some that were let's say 20% better I'd be interested

From my understanding the Pace are on the same blank as the cheaper Nash Dwarf! This statement could very well be wrong but from what I have seen it seems to be true.
I've got a set of Scopes 3.25 in both 9-10ft and really rate them and was going to go for a set of 3.5tc for solid bags but ended up buying the Sonik Insurgent when Ebay had an offer. Picked them up for £98 each and by far the best out off all 3 sets of retractable-butt rods I own.

Had the Sonik Insurgents in 3 lbs. Very comparable build as the Aqua Atom, but much cheaper. I sold them because I couldn't get used to shorter, retractable rods (packing up is messy) and 3 lbs was too soft for what I needed them for.

I totally agree I have two 6ft xtractors and the faffing around packing them up the worst thing is trying to get them back in sleeves very tight fit I can pack my 12fts away quicker

Have a look at the ultimate bionic rods, the look the same as the pace rods without the line clip. they are 60 euro each I think. I was shocked to see aqua jump on the bandwagon and even more shocked at the price they are charging for them.
