Browning Champions choice Bomb and waggler rods

These are interesting rods for perhaps those who fish rivers. The CC bomb rods were launched around 2010 and priced around £100. It is 10' and cw up to 50g. An ultra light 2 piece rod with completely parabolic action, for small hooks and light hook lengths. I got the bomb in about 2018 new. I don't expect anyone to believe this but its true. At the time I had a hardy marksman bomb. Both that and the CC could catch, hold and land feisty carp well into double figures. Frankly they felt so similar to me that I sold the hardy and pocketed the difference in value. I later found out from browning that there had been an 11.6 waggler version too. Determined to match the pair, I eventually found the waggler in suffolk in really nice condition. I will be putting the pair on Ebay soon, collection only but thought, as I had read so much on here by those who fish smaller venues that they may appeal. THe bomb has the original quivers at 1, 1.5 and 2.0
They are a cracking set! In very nice condition. I only have the bag for the bomb though. My thinking perhaps to someone setting up youngsters may appeal.
I am in Essex. Thinking they are worth in region of 75 as a pair
I am travelling up to Coventry on Monday 14th July to meet a member who wants my torrix. I will be returning on 15th so if these rods are of any interest they could be with me!
