Do the pace compacts have the same length butt as Scopes do? Also how powerful are they in the 3.5lb? Not as stiff as a 3.5lb SU scope I hope?

They start from £125 for full duplon, can have the 3.5lb version in cork or full shrink for a bit more but only offering 3lb in duplon I think... Unless you go for custom build

I've had mine for a few months now. Absolutely love them, I had scopes before I find these far superior, build quality is very high and I'm now using these pretty much exclusively and can happily fish to 100 yards with them.

Just got my 3lb pace compacts this morning. They come from China as per the info on the box I received, I think only custom builds will be built here.
That doesn't bother me, they feel much better than my sonik xtractor and I have seen scopes before, they don't seem the same as either.
Nice action and very well built, whippings and handle etc all spot on. Will get to try them out on the weekend.
Gone for a fox r series 3 rod 12ft 3 piece rod bag - apparently this fits the fox xplorer rods so hopefully will be ok with the pace compacts, will find out when it arrives.
The box I received says it originally contained 10 rods from China, I was sent the same looking box with my xtractors so I suspect built in the same factory but with a custom spec for cotswold - the rods couldn't be more different!
Going to let my dad use the sonik xtractors now

Thanks for letting us know I was looking at them thought Cotswold made them if not there the same as all the others I won't bother

Has anyone used these? I was considering just getting one but reading between the lines they aren't built by cotswold so they are probably identical to some of the cheaper brands and imported directly from China.

Looks like Cotswold Rods have a new 10ft 3lb version being released soon.
What are the 3.5lb versions like and what type of rod sleeves are people using?

All mk1"s? Fact is you can find story's sagging off most products on the net if you look, scopes have also been a huge seller and the majority of owners like them.

Do Cotswold only do 10' 3.5lb tc?
Someone posted about 3lb tc rods but I can only see 3.5lbs on their website.
Do they pack down to the same size as Scope 10' rods?

Hi bud,
I had a set of 10ft 3.5's full corks for 3 1/2 years but had to get rid of them due to the carbon wearing away, one rod was so bad that when I pulled then butt section out when taking the rod out the bag etc the section would come straight out and leave the butt section...
I purchased the Cotswold compacts 2/3 weeks ago and have used them once. They are a bit more tippy than the scopes I think, however I am now using heavier leads than before so it could be that. The build quality is very good and they go well with my emblem z's. They feel very solid built and look fantastic also.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks
Jack
