What about Nash GT6000. Tried a mates and they are well matched to 10ft rods.

For some reason, Nash seem to get a bashing but that seems to be the same about everything depending on what you like.

My experience with anything I have from Nash has only ever been positive.

Just picked up 2 very good condition
Okuma inc 6000s for 20 quid each. So will give them
A go on the battered dwarfs.

Good choice (imo) ... Hope they do you well

Thanks Paul

Now the choice is 2 rods to replace the old mismatched broken tipped
Dwarfs. I have a made for 10foot 3 rod dwarf bag, so would like to utilise that.

I'm leaning towards 10ft shrink dwarfs 3lbtc as I love
My PVA bags.

Have a look at the sonik insurgents- they came out top on a recent carpology test 😉

I have the Sonik Insurgents in 3.5 TC maybe a bit over gunned for what you want but they are are great rod you could drop down to 3lb or less
Reel wise the Okumas are a great choice for the money they are on par with my Penn's 👍💪

Do the insurgents have ceramic or minima style eyes? Would like some 6fters but would want to use braid and had a nightmare with the eyes on my mk2 scopes cutting in with braid

If i was buying retractable rods i would be looking at ESP Quickdraw .... If i were looking at 8' or 10' non retractable i would still look at ESP's (I went for Stalkers in the end). I had Soniks retractable briefly but returned them as were like broomsticks
