I have bid for 2 so far Joe. Unsuccessfully though. They were organized by dave coster of supero fame. But he left Tomas Tuner shortly after they were launched.There is a feeder, new on ebay for 170.I have bid 120 because that's what I think it worth to me. My offer was rejected. I am quite happy to accept the sales spiel ie same specc but with modern materials etc so should be better as a rod. I have had virtually all the supero,s and a few marksman so I will get one one day, just to see how they compare. At nearly 300 they were just not on!
I look at it like cars. My fishing and gardening car is a focus I bought for my wife back in 2001.I believe it was as up to date as could reasonably be expected .Its ulez compliant too which is why I still have it. Compared to the next 14 plate focus I bought for her its a joke. Does this happens with rods? No idea but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
