Strange as I’ve had them on a lot of rods and never had a problem with them. They’re my go to rings when I get rods made up these days. Do like the look of Fuji’s just can’t justify the price of them.
They’re nice rings and the weight will aid blank recovery. Did toy with the idea of getting them when I got a torrix built a few years ago. However went for minimal in the end as slightly lighter and much much cheaper.
Having owned both would go for the oc everytime. Yes the D looks a bit nicer however that’s about it. Both smooth, with a good clutch. Weight is similar. Possibly the d might be sealed but I’m not sure I’m just guessing why the difference in price.
Had one turn up the other day which I got unused off eBay for £95. Couldn’t justify full price. Feels nice and fairly solid. Wish it were slightly bigger in the body as seems smaller than my old fighting drag twin powers xtr’s, however haven’t held them side by side yet. Build quality feels good...

Nothing so treated myself to a pair of the new drennan twin tip duos on a eBay discount (got them for £80 each delivered) to hopefully finally replace my river and streams.
My trusty old 5010 aero gt is beginning to feel it’s age at the moment. It’s had a couple of services at felindre but to be honest I don’t rate them and it’s never come back feeling much different. So think it’s time for a change. Now the x aero has been out 4 years plus any long term reviews on...

Harrison torrix 11 foot 2lb built by mark tunely. Immaculate condition brought 18 months ago to Keep in my van for the odd trip when work was quiet but then brought a 4 piece Avon instead which stores much easier on a shelf than a 11 foot rod and has...
