I just bought a couple of the 10 foot 3 lbs cork handled for a small water I fish and for the money I think it's hard to beat them really.
Pretty well finished, they have a custom look to them very similar styling to the free spirit range, nice action which I would say I'd more towards a through action.

I have some in 9ft 3lbtc - cracking little rods for the money

The Tackle box wouldn't put their name on an inferior product - buy with confidence.

I am thinking about getting a couple of the Darent valley cork handled 10ft 3lb too. But I keep being drawn to the Freespirit CTX or the tackle box CFX and wondering if it's worth the extra outlay tbh. Not trying to hijack but I guess if you are looking at the same as me you might also be interested in the other two I mentioned.

I agree my friend has a set of the 10ft cfx 3lb rods from tackle box I must admit they are stunning and he loves them for his smaller water rods, they are very well made and very good looking

I've had a set for quite a few years now and they're fantastic for the money. They're soft for a 3lber imo which may be a bit of a surprise if you're not expecting it.

Had a set of 3lb CFX custom built because I wanted full length handles and I'm very pleased with them, they cast really well and I've have fish to over 27lb on them and they have a great playing action. I don't think you would be disappointed if you got yourself a set.
Give Gary Peet a call and he can talk you through all the options.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
