Harrison Ballista.
Just getting back into the sport after a very long absence, went straight for the ballistas as had them before and absolutely loved the action of these blanks when playing fish.

Century NG 3 1/2 for majority of my fishing. Although I have a set of AkNs 2 3/4s that I use sometimes and a set of 2 1/4 AKNs for smaller waters.
I use ESP paragon plus 3.25lb for all my normal fishing
I use a Wychwood floater rod with a shimmy baitrunner for floater fishing, and I have a couple of 10ft JRC rods for stalking or small lakes
I do have a set of three cork handle 3.5lb tc xtractors but to be honest I never really found personally any benefit for where I was fishing with them so probably will get re-homed

I love them, especially winding them up as they cast really well

I use a set of free spirit hi s 12ft 3lb tc for most situations and recently picked a lovely set of original century 12ft 3.5tc sp's which are lovely long distance rods. I had the 3lb tc versions back in the day but were rubbish in comparison! Hell of a rod for the money I paid off the bay and in great nick.
Still using Sonic Gravity X 12ft 3lb Tc, and I don't see me changing anytime soon, pure joy to use, even the Reel position is spot on from factory build.
Not had any issues at all with them, could not say the same for what the replaced – ceramic Inserts dropping out of the eyes for fun, bit of damp weather and all the whippings turned white.

Harrison aviator plus in 13ft - 95% of the time as most of my fishing is 100 yds plus.
Also got a set of Terry Hearn 12.9” 3.25tc classics which i use Occasionally on smaller waters or closer range work. Lovely rods.

I had a set of those (Gravity X) and God knows why but I only had to think about casting out and the line would frap around the butt ring, got rid and replaced with Torrix 12.6

Never had any ceramics falling out of mine that are 15 year's old, my blanks did start to turn white after rain but that was well after 10 year's of use,(not the only manufacturer with this problem) I rebuilt all 4 of them 2 year's ago back to good as new now

I even got an American Style Fridge so I could place them behind it so the heat exchanger could suck all the moisture out of them for the next trip. You must have been luckily, as the Rod builder I used told me he was sick of seeing them, Kagan or Keegan rings?
