Are you allowed to cover prices and put a copy up so we know what's available.

Would like to see this as well, waiting for my set of 3lb Torrix to be completed which will then allow me to sell on some 3.5lb ADV1's and get a nice light set of Harrison ms built circa 1.75-2lb for some real fun.

2lb Multi Carp or 2lb Torrix? Pro's and cons? Is the multi carp more of a stopper, more backbone?

There's a pdf download from 2019 on the website, is there a lot of change from that?
Ballista blanks dropped and some aviator additions I've heard of

The 13ft susu is the only speci type blank I'm contemplating, but I've been toying with that idea for years now

Noj, just bolt your skill saw to a bit of ply and enjoy the new rod

Fascinating set of posts!

I have been reading with interest. I posted because I find myself in a position where I want ot be able to fish at >130 yards and am not the most proficient caster, so looking for a set of rods that flatters my casting, whilst retaining some action.

Currently considering the Aviator plus or the Daiwa infinity SP 3 1/1/2lb TC

Any thoughts on those

A) my Elu circ. saw has been stolen by another chippy and the 18v thing I'm using is garbage. So I need a hk85 too....
B) it's already spent many a job hanging upside down wondering wtf is going on

Two of what I would call the best “all round” rods that I have owned

Free spirit HiS 12 foot 3 1/2tc with 50 mm ringing, with 40s on the blank is stiffer

Century ADV1 in 3 1/4lb test. Nice carp rods

I have owned a few

What ever happened to them? Loads of hype then they vanished. I didnt think they would last very long, they had a very strange build.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
