It wasn't exactly a great deal, TFT did me the rod and reel for £300.
AD had the rod for £150 but no stock available! Wave Inn was a better price for the 13ft but i wanted a 12ft.

You'd be better with a 13ft for distance, it makes things much easier

I know i did consider it, however my fishing rods are 12ft and im only a short arse so I decided that id keep it to a 12ft and improve my technique and go from there. I might be wrong but I figured a 13ft spod rod would be better suited if i was using 13ft fishing rods too.

Exactly the same for me mate, I'm short too. The extra foot makes a big difference when casting heavy spombs a distance. It makes no difference what length your fishing rods are.
