Maximisers were a vastly underrated blank, good luck finding those though.

Not by people who knew anything about rod blanks. Still come up on fleabay cheap. You wont get a better rod than the accurix in 2.5 lb off the shelf.

My experience says otherwise, it's a personal thing. What was, in your opinion, so wrong with the blanks then?
*I'm referring to the Maximiser SPD model if there were more than one version.

I got an immaculate pair for £80 2 years back, used, but hardly, 2.5.
Just waiting for the right water to use them, glad to hear you rate them, I've only heard good things and praise.

I've got a set of Sundridge rods in 2.5, I think they're outstanding for smaller waters/close range and I could park a 1oz lead on a saucer with them. The downside is the 40mm ringing pattern. Folks disregard small and less fashionable firms though, that's their loss.

There are lots of excellent blanks about these days what lets most down are the size of guides and ringing patterns also the length of handles on shorter rods all inhibit a blanks performance.
