I recently acquired a set of daiwa crosscast xt's in 9 foot 2.
75 TC. Wouldn't use them for bag work or anything over 70/80 yards but they are a decent rod for the price imo and at 70 quid each they are great value. Worth a look.

Maybe check out the Cotswold Pace Compacts

Thanks all

I do like the look of the Nash Dwarf 2020 versions.... a few questions to people that have those:

1. Are the handles full length?
2. Is the carbon weave all the way up the rod or only part way.

Thanks!

1: No the have a short handle
2: Yes but the rods are not made of carbon ( still great rods)

They're not made from carbon
You mean there is no visible weave or they're fibreglass?

In reply to Post #20
They are made of fiberglass with a carbon weave painted pattern
Fiberglass is not bad so don't worry about it, I'd rather have a fiberglass Dwarf than a stiff Carbon TX 2

They're not fibreglass. Carbon with a higher resin content, which is why they are slower to recover and aren't as crisp as a scope
