That's a shame to hear Steve. Good luck in any new ventures you may be pursuing..👍

Yes Rob they were very good and a real players rod with a good progressive action. I then bought a pair of Hardy Marksman 11 ft 6 Avon's , and they were okay when the bottom 3rd of the rod started to work. But the top 2/3rds were way to soft... If you find another I'd be very interested, as I'm...

If you're looking for a shorter rod , maybe 10ft , look no further than the 2.75 torrix, it's great for upto 25yd lobs with smaller to medium sized deads.. It's got a mid to through sort of action with a softish tip. Great crossover from Zander to pike rod ,imo...
