    New rods

    I agree about the new range of Drennan specialist rods, they are really poorly made. Had to return them as the eyes weren't whipped on straight and what ever they are using to paint the blanks with isn't very robust. Shame as l really like there stuff.

    Harrison Torrix 12ft 1.25lbs T.C

    This is what i have read as well. I believe that the 1.25 t.c butt section is on par with the 1.75 t.c and the 1.5 t.c is more of a softer through action rod.
