I have 2 sets of rods, one full shrink a the other abbreviated shtick. Not a fan of duplon or cork so saves me the faff of adjusting the rear rests. The metal grip bits are fairly pliable so you may get away without adjusting depending on the difference between the thickness of each rod
Pretty sure the Korda lot use the solar rears over the jag ones, despite the singlez being made by jag. Perhaps that's a performance thing?

They are the pre P1 versions I believe. Probably worth a fortune now if the rest of their kits second hand price is anything to go by.

Yeah the original thunb screw ones came with different size spacers you change to suit, I've still got a set somewhere but use the new ones now.

If you did that they would not be aesthetically pleasing. Therefore tackle tarts would not pay top dollar for them.

It takes no longer to take them off loosen the grub screw and reset than taking off the old type thumb screws and swapping the spacers over.

They're basically small washers.

Something like this, sure mine have three spacers each side of different thickness.

Interesting, the ones I have came with about a dozen washers a piece! Does the same job I suppose but I prefer the thicker ones in your pic for sure.

I think solar changed them as the first 3 i bought had the spacers as shown in glenn's pics. A couple of years later i bought a fourth one which came as you describe with a load of standard washers

F wiw I think the new design looks much better than the old one. Personal taste I suppose. Fun****ial and aesthetically pleasing.

Well mine are getting a new lease of life on my kids dwarf/my compact setup. Supporting two different style handles. Now that I know about taking out inserts they will fit like a glove.
I've fitted the stainless jags on my mps trident and they look seamless the large insert hold the cork handle like a glove. Just enough stick on the grip.
I treated him (me really) to 2 additional atts to go on his
Pod and connected to my reciever.
