Original Daiwa Infinity X 12ft 2.75lbtc LD's were incredible rods. Always on the lookout for a decent set to have rebuilt as a little project (if anyone knows anyone selling any, or the 3.5lb's then I'll have them!)

I have 3 left from 4 Wychwood Maximiser SPD's in 2.75, lovely rods.
Of all the rods I have owned 2.75 NG stands out the most, such a lovely rod to play fish on!!

I used the 13' 3lb LD infinity x until trading them in for a set of 3.5 ESP Vertex, I was using big bags at the time. Both great fishing rods.

Depends on the era, early 80's KM1 from Simpson's of Turnford after fibre glass a major difference in casting and playing fish. Early 2000 Century NG 2.75tc fantastic players rods then lately Free Spirit 12.6 3.5tc Hi-s no one rod especially with changing technology

I've got a set of century focal system 12 foot 3lb test curve. Had them about 8 years. Still a very good rod. Very good for bag work. And chucking leads out at distance. But very fergiving rod for margin rod and playing fish under the rod tip. I'm now looking for new rods but don't really no what I won't
Century NCS 3.25 12ft , probably my favourite along with my Ballista 2.75 for closer work

I had these in 2.75, still got one, pretty sure they are the amorphous akns, asked on another forum and put a photo up,and the opinion was they were definitely the 2.75 akns.
All the same, best rods ive had in 40 years

Strange how it's predominantly older rods and not always the mega expensive rods that are being mentioned 
Hmmmmm....interesting

Moral of the story... New rods don't necessarily make you enjoy your fishing more! Get out and make memories/catch PBs/enjoy nature etc. with your old rods.
