Century make other stuff besides rods as well and export a lot to the states which has become a huge market for them as well as now owning the zziplex brand.

Don't suppose anyone on here has any experience with these rods:

Forge Tackle Hammer Stick BK - 10ft 3.5tc

Someone fairly local is selling a near new set.

Thanks

Been a few months since the Harrison Telos were released. Anyone used them or seen them?

Johnson Ross are advertising them as in stock so I might have to pop in to have a look.

I'm after the 9ft version myself.

Forge makes some of the very best tackle for the money. No first hand experience with these rods but guessing from the other Forge tackle equipment I have its top notch and would cost twice as much with a big brand name.

Be good to know your thoughts. I don't think I'm interested in them but who knows 😂😂.

Mark Tunley also advertising them on his website

Everything I've seen has a nasty green whipping and/or green handles. Guess stealth is on the way out 🤔

Yes the green whipping isn't for me either.

The photos online are pretty poor so it's difficult to view them properly.

What's putting me off is the tip section is not the same 1k weave as the butt section. A minor point but it's triggering my OCD.

I'll let you know if I get chance to see them.

The ESP 4K Quickdraw rods also have different weaves top (1k) and bottom (3k) and i am struggling to get my head round it asthetically .... Mind you, I would still take them over the horrific asthetics of the Harrisons

£405 a rod and those whippings….

I'm out out 😆

They are hideous sadly


I now have some Trakker Propel R 10ft. Weave is lovely and the ring set good 50-16 tip too.

IMO doesn't look out of place at all with the bigger rings but personal choice I know

😂😂.

Mark Tunley has a more normal looking build for £345 which for 3 is still a fare whack. Imagine they'll start turning up secondhand soon 👌
Are you sure?
