Does anyone have one they would part with? Must be the 2.75lb version. I have a couple of spare tip sections, so even the butt section would be ideal for me to make up a second rod.

I’ve got a pair of the Daiwa Powermesh deadbait rods at 3 1/2 lb test. Great rods, but be aware they do have extra long cork handles. They could do to be 6-9” shorter to be honest.

Had a bit of a run in with Drennan over their claimed rod weights. My 13ft Ultra was supposed to weigh 135g. When I put it on the scales it came in at 152g. Drennan took it back, said the mid and tip were within tolerances and gave me a new butt section. They went through all their stock and...

Really kind to ask, but at 6ft 3” I’m more an XXL sized angler!

I fish Hardy Superos. My almost daily user is the 11’6” Avon of which I have a pair. I also have the 11ft Avon and the 12ft barbel in 3piece with the Avon and quiver tops. For float fishing I have the full supero range from 11’10, 13, 14 and 15ft. I have a bit of a Hardy problem.
