I've just bought 3 mint pretty much brand new Harrison torrix off eBay built by Tony Kay for less than £300. Bargains are to be had if you look and be a little bit lucky 👍

Not used any other rods in your list but I've been using the FF Powermesh for a few years now and I've loved them. I think Bristol Angling have them now after Future Fishing unfortunately closed. Doubt you'll be disappointed if you decide on them.

I've just got a set of 12'6" Aviators and can't make my mind up whether to keep the powermesh or not.

Thanks everyone, been like a trip down memory lane has this thread 🙂.

instead of working for my boss yesterday, I spent most of it trawling the web for deals and offers, I think this is what I'm down to in order.

3 X sh longbow x45 3lb - 180 collected
3 x sh sniper MK1 2.75 - 170 collected
2 x sh 2.75tc infinity df - £200 shipped
2 X new FF Powermesh 3lb - 200 shipped

There were others but after looking, £200 is more than enough to get sorted so I capped my budget there and also distance to collect has been a consideration capping estimated fuel cost at £20

What do you think, any last minute additions?

+1 on this. I've seen a few set of Harrisons or equivalent rods going for really good prices recently. There's a set of ballista slims in Chatham going for £120 on FB market

Ballista slims, great rods.
The build is a bit old style and rings need reshipping, but a massive bargain.

Thanks, not on Facebook, so that's all lost on me.

I found 2 x 3lb Sniper Mk1's that I collect on Monday.

Cost of the two rods is £ 74 + £25 travel which is more than ideal for what they will be used for
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
