perhaps just put a price what your hoping to get

Built a pair relatively recently. Really nice blanks.
However, never really cared for some aspects of FS standard build.
Maybe just me.
Cheers

The guides and reel seats I don’t like. The blanks are lovely.

Some people don't like the carbon reel seat ! I don't know why ?
Mine work perfectly !! Never come loose. I believe there is some sort of soft plastic mould inside screw winch ,the reel has to be wound tight to mould to the reel foot.
No problem with S- lite rings ???

Deleted. Apologies Adam was just getting into the discussion swing.

Blimey Guys, Adam is trying to sell a pair of rods, your not helping his cause, if youve got nothing positive to say, then keep stum. Just cos they aint your cup of tea. Imagine if it was you trying to sell, and someone who wasnt interested ripped into your post. Give the guy a break.

Think all Richard was saying is he prefers the lighter guides and a different reel seat. at the end of the day if you custom build one you can have it to your liking still great rods though

I was but Derek’s point is valid. Wasn’t the place.

Yes, agree - so I apologise to Adam for any upset that may have been caused.

Sorry for any inconvenience

Hi S SU? If so, I use both of those rods @Julian Griffiths and I really love them, especially the Hi S SU (and I'm awaiting a F/S Hi S 'Barbel' [2lb] )
Superb rods.

 

[Bill Walford]

I’m a FS fan and like quite a few of you chaps have more than I need but IF I had to pare back to just one rod for all my fishing it would be my Hi S BW 2.25 lb TC. I love ‘em. I have used them on a number of rivers in all conditions and also for feeder fishing for Tench in the spring/early summer. Definitely my go to rod if pushed.

Now that your not selling them am I allowed to rekindle the conversation on how shite the reel seats are

PTFE plumbers tape is still holding firm Rich

 

[Richard Isaacs]

PVA plumbers tape is still holding firm Rich

I can’t bring myself round to doing it Bill.
the engineer side of me is saying “slap some ptfe tape round it” but the stupid perfectionist ocd side is saying “you can’t bodge that with tape”
It’s a dilemma

Seen many reel seats from various manufacturers and agree - Shite they are IMO with the disadvantage that they cost more.
