In market for a new second hand set I think so wondering what everyone uses these days is it still torrix and free spirit leading the way or is there something else I'm missing

Have a look at the Greys as well, I picked up a very decent second hand set for a fraction of the new price, hadn't been abused and lovely casting rods, also nice for playing fish with the 3lb T/C, any of the GT range are decent for the money?

Century for my 12ft sessions either Armalites or NGs, though I've just recently purchased some avid 10fts that will spend most of the time living in the car for short sessions

Harrison for me, I'm stuck in my ways. Was Ballista until last year, now Torrix. Read the other day that Harrison have a new rod on the way too, may be worth a nosey.

Unless I have to cast miles I am still using a set of 3lb esp vertex.... Old as the hills but I have never found anything with a better action.
greys plus you get lifetime warranty.
I use Terry Hearn mk3 3.25 40mm rings, lovely rods.
Custom century fbs for majority of my fishing on my 40 acre syndicate, and also have a set of 13ft Harrison treb lights for distance fishing home and mainly abroad on bigger lakes...

Use Free Spirit Hi S ives 13ft for long range work and Harrision aviator Flex for everything else
Edit: Both Built by Kev Clayton - wouldn't go else where

I use mainly sub £100 rods, soniks, esp, shimano, greys. I do mainly stalking so most of the time the rods are on the floor, if i had more expensive rods their expense would limit the situations ln which i would use them.

I'm using 12ft 2.75lb Century NG's and Rod Hutchinson 3.25lb The Ones.
Got The Ones for £50 each from when I worked at Gladwells, use them for most of my fishing now. The NG's seem to have been promoted to pike fishing.
