OK mate,how's it going..

I got the 2.5tc CTX,not the e class your wanting info on ,Paul had a set and loved them ,but if you want a lovely full on players action,we thought the CTX,was nicer ,in our humble opinion..

Mine are now my only set of rods,use em on the ponds ,oppo me and up on the ressis,up your way no problems.. I like them very much....

Like all freespirit rods the reel seats can slacken off a bit in use til they bed in..

See you out n about some time👌

Had a set in 3.5tc.. rings all went rusty within 6 months. Sent them back and got refunded with fox horizon x instead. Awesome rods. On the bank with them now.

Holding you responsible for me buying a set of new rods I didn't really need today mate 😜

Great deal and have been lusting after some lighter rods for ages, so rude not to really...

I have a set of 2.5lb Torrix and they are a joy to use. I tend to opt for them over my 3.25, as it's so much more fun playing fish.

Not that many 2.5tc for sale - not fashionable are they, people are missing out - fun, also a 2.5 will put a lot more pressure on a fish so am I right in thinking snag fishing? Need a set of reels think the emcast 25a will balance them lovely. Should of gone fishing yesterday would of been cheaper 🤣🤣

What's the action like on these? Are they through/parabolic action like I hear the TS/ES are or are they a faster action like the heavier TC E class?

I'd say more parabolic than through action and definitely not a tippy rod.Medium action would be a fair description.

Just in case anyone was considering some of these... I ordered 3 in the end and they turned up today. Stunning rods, lovely and light with the 40mm ringing and a very slim blank.

Not used in anger yet but they seem great so far 👍🏻
