Any update feedback wise on the quickdraws? Looking to replace my 10ft scopes.

What's the action like on the 3.25's and are the rings ok with braided mainline?

Got rid of mine - were the 3.25's. Never used scopes so cant compare.

TBH if they'd done a 2.75 I'd have probably kept them, cant see the need for 3.5's. Action is ok, but my Torrix TE's bend more, especially under the tip.

TBH I cant see the need for high TC short rods - you don't need to chuck big leads for distance fishing, or you wouldn't go for a short rod.

I've had 9ft 3lb scopes and now use 10ft 3.5lb QuickDraw. Both used for boat fishing, heavy leads, long range and heavy weed.

The Scopes were probably nicer rods to be honest, but they were too soft for the job I needed them to do. The QuickDraw do the job fine. Only use braid and no issues with either rods and they take a bit of abuse.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
