I have had the pleasure of using a rod made by this company incredible hands down the best rod I have used. However the bloke who owned the company is a total P**** on a level I have never witnessed. I actually at first thought it was an act. He is the only reason the company no longer trade.

Still there, just clicked on it...this is the description, although a quick call to the only person I know who has had blanks rolled for him by Daiwa said "Be aware".... lol::



Lion Carp 33 RS Pure Players Rods

New never been used.

Wealthy people always buy the best and these have only been sold to wealthy people!

Built in Daiwa's factory in Scotland to Lion Carps specification, these really are a joy to use.

The blank was designed from scratch and has no resemblance to any Daiwa blank before it. Cut, rolled, baked and built in Scotland!

Built with the following genuine components

Daiwa hi modulus pre-preg carbon
Finished in Daiwa's 1k from tip to toe
ALPS black reel seats
Fuji guides 50mm butt ring
Fuji anti frap tip 16mm
British machined winding checks and butt cap

Only 30 of these were ever made. Built to be a soft players rod with a real fighting curve, put the blank under real pressure and it will produce you power through the butt to over 3lb. Light lines, light leads big fish ..... truly awsum excitement.

In this build there were only 6 rods ever built so they are a bit special.

Cast a 2oz lead with genuine 12lb line 100 yards. Those that know about these rods know just how much fun they are to use.

Lion carp are no longer around but those who bought their products know how good they were and also know they are worth holding on to.

Comes with certificates of authenticity. No certificates then they not the genuine product.

Cost when new £470 each!

I remember him. Had a 50+ or something on a day ticket water and thought he was going to be a "name" with 1 fish.
Not long before that he was asking school boy questions on here.
Another attention seeker. Soon came back to reality.

Believe me you don't know the half of it!!!
He was on the Northern Monkeys site.
I did feel for him tbh, I thought he was mentally unstable what he came out with.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
