I had a CFX Spod rod. Great blank, and very well built.

But I found the handle too short and didn't like the fold-friendly ringing.

I'd suggest looking at them in person before buying as someone else would probably have loved the things that annoyed me.

Thanks for the replies chaps, gone for the Tackle Box CF-X 12' 3.25lb rods

Lovely rods, I've had a set for years. Mine are the original ones with the green whippings and 40mm butt rings and abbreviated handles.

good choice rob - I hope they are as great for you as they are for me - good luck with them!

Gardner Covert Rods, they are like 130 new, ive seen sets on FB market place go for much cheaper.

I picked up a pair nearly 12 months ago and they have been brilliant, nice guides, nice handle, nice really seat. Accurate when casting and has "through play" when playing a fish, not too tipy, not overly soft, just enough power to cast and control a fish without feeling like a broom sitck
