Interesting you should say that, I really disliked my flexes, aviators in general actually, almost like you're not actually connected to the end tackle / fish. the accurix 3lb I found to be a superior blank in comparison but I guess very different end customers

Very similar to what the other chap said about the rods I'm thinking about. Re the Accurix, if only I could have persuaded them to make a 3.5lb TC set, that would have been my choice, the 3lb felt lovely.

Very interesting. I might have to get my hands on a pair of Acurix as well then...

They're a lovely rod, I'd snap up a set, but they're harder to find in the U.K now (factory build), probably not pushing them v the Torrix etc.
Re the rod I was thinking of, there's no way at present to find the thread, but it I pm'd a member who I recalled commented, and it may have been the plus at a certain size, not the flex, as I can't verify it might as well just forget about it..lol

May have been me Vossy? Def not the 12' Aviator Flex - but the standard 12' Aviator Plus (which are slightly over 3.25 at 3lb 6oz tc). Lovely rods to bully big fish with; but for me, a pig to cast at relative range with any consistency . . .I ditched mine for 13' Aviator Plus which are def easier to thump even with my crappy casting. Others also rate the 12'6" Aviator Plus for similar reasons . . .

The 12ft aviator plus is a horrible blank in my opinion.
