I’m afraid the 2nd hand rod market is in trouble, especially for top end tackle. The seller obviously does not want to lose too much money, the buyer no matter how keen for the rod wants it at a reasonable price. Unfortunately the cost of postage or fuel if collecting is an added expense that...

I’ve a pair from new…. The same number on my rod but only plain quiver tips, I actually lost one and replaced it although the newer one is slightly lighter…. Can these still be obtained? I might send them back and complain…. Lol

I do yes and still in the bix

The free spirit power tamer float rod is available as a 2 piece 13’ rod

Hi Richard, what would you consider a fair casting weight for the rod. I’m not thinking of winter heavy water fishing on the Trent but smaller venues. Also the tench fishing could well be in weedy conditions

Yes, I’ve read that and maybe a lot of claims

Yes please, I’ll take them. Messsge sent
