My mate bought the 13ft 3.75. I had a play and a couple of casts. They do look nice, pretty darn stiff. Felt a bit Heavier than my 13ft hi s ives but not much.
Casting: i found that i can still cast further with my 13ft hi s ives. 4oz lead. They Felt like an out right LR rod casting tool that will take a bit of compressing. Id suggest not suitable for any shorter range work.
They are not for me but a top level caster should be able to compress and hit the horizon.

Anyone got or used the 10ft version of these rods? I'm thinking about upgrading my short setup as I didn't get my 13fts and big pits out of the cupboard all year last year.
These look just the ticket, been keeping an eye out for a set of second hand ones but none about as yet.

If you're after quality 10' footers I can only recommend Harrison Aviators in 3.25 . . .had them a couple of seasons now and rarely use anything else . . .light, crisp and grunt when you actually need it. Not that much more dollar RRP either . . .

After buying a set of ST12's which I absolutely love, probably the best 12ft 3.5 carp rod I've ever used, I thought I'd get the ST10's. I've had 10ft Hi S 3.5 and Harrison Aviator 3.5 in the past, both sets I really enjoyed using, but after using the ST10's I can honestly say I prefer these. I've cast 5 oz leads on them, caught carp in France to 60+ and cats to 70lb and they were superb. You can see why a lot of International competition anglers are choosing to use their rods now. I think the Tackle Tavern sell pre loved SCR rods so could try them, they've been around a number of years now and not many for sale second hand, always a good sign.
