I was offered the Specialist 15ft when I bought the Supero 15ft and decided on the latter because it was more powerful and is a 3 piece (Specialist is a 4). The seller had the Hardy catalogue and I think the Supero was rated to 8lb line.
This rod is an ideal trotting rod for barbel and chub, with plenty of power in the blank. It’s in excellent condition and comes in a corduroy tube. The rod bag it comes in is not original though, it is for the 14ft version of this rod but it still works ok. Collection or could meet up near...
I have a Hardy Marksman Supero 15ft I’d consider selling. It’s in excellent condition with the original tube but not original bag (it has the 14ft bag 🤷🏽♂️). I can send pics if interested.
I have a Tricast xs 14ft which if I’m planning on doing a full days trotting is my no.1 rod. It’s as light as a feather and has landed several barbel and a river carp when chub fishing. If I broke it I buy it again.
I have a Mark Tunley 12ft Harrison Torrix 1.75lb with Alps reel seat, dark green whippings on a green blank for sale. In good condition, £200 ono. Collection only or can deliver to Lincoln/Newark area when I next fish the Trent.

I recently bought a pair of Daiwa gs br 5000 reels which I absolutely love (going to buy another pair). They do a non baitrunner version as well, front drag, smooth as silk.
Okumas are very sound or if you prefer something with a bit of history an Adcock Stanton (with ratchet). I have had lots of trotting centrepins and the one thing I’d avoid is anything less than 4.5 inch as it takes too long to retrieve. I also prefer bearings pins because I can retrieve faster...
