The company who made RAD's gear...Watfields engineering ltd. have just started their own range based on RAD's designs etc search for Nero Angling.

Iv used century carbon stick in the past . Probably did about 3/4 seasons with it. I loved the way it looked . I did manage to break a stabiliser with too much force once . Ultimately I needed a more versatile setup so went with jag. I really like the fact I can use the bars as standard buzz bars or goal post without any hassle or even swap to a pod setup just as easy
I would go back to carbon but would need something with the full range , I.e stage stands / pod / stick .

I use the Custom angling modulus Ali, it's very versatile and well built but I wouldn't describe it as light at all

N brice stuff is lovely , ive used mine for 3 plus years i guess and still looks the same just dirt on it, The inners are carbon and i have had one come lose over that time , a dab of glue and it was sorted. I would assume thats the only practical way to bond carbon to metal so its not poor workmanship i think its more a limitation of the materials and me being not the most of gentle souls and a little clumsy i have given them a fair bit of abuse.
The buzzbars are lovely too, mine are adjustable 3 rod, gunsmoke grey ones. the adjusting screws are captive the inner is contoured so the bars are always aligned nicely and captive so it dont fall out the end . really nicely made to be honest.
Edit : as been said a digging stick / auger is essential really in hard ground but it beats a bloody mallet any day

If you can put up with not getting a stiffy on with names like Neville, Rad, N Brice etc then have a look at Bison. I make a lot of my own stuff and buy the raw materials off them but their made up stuff is as good as the big names charging lots more.
