@@alanmeasures8337 Sorry - don't agree. I know someone who works with carbon fibre making stuff for Military use. There is carbon fibre and there is carbon fibre plus the fittings will be top notch. Completely out of my league as a pleasure angler but like an expensive sports car only gets you from A to B, this rod is only as good as the angler.
£500 quid for a 10ft rod outrageous 😳 some people have more money than sense you won't catch me spending that much when there's over rod's alot cheaper out there and as good ridiculously priced 👇.
I can understand your economic argument but I bought a Normark Vantage float rod 30 years ago, it was expensive in comparison to other Rods of the time but its still my go to float rod even today. So economy wise £500 could still turn out to be a bargain in the long term
