(Selling for a friend)
"A lovely light and responsive rod that comes with 5 quivertips.
6 inch handle extention and original bag with tube for tips.
I bought this on a bit of a whim and have used it 3 times.
The rod and all the tips are in immaculate condition as I mostly floatfish!

Hi Paul
I've just bought a cadence 16 foot #2 off here but not had chance to use it yet.
I'm thinking 0.17 Reflo to 0.15 should be a good match for the rod on my centerpin?
I also bought a Diawa spectron 17/20 rod with a higher rating of up to 8lb line.

This is something I've noticed on here (lack of reports). And I think it's partly down to the way many barbel anglers post their catches these days..Facebook or Instagram.
I very rarely post my catches on fb now and have come off the many river groups I was part of.
I grew tired of the attitude...
I needed a new winter jacket so decided to go for an offer that was on at my local tackle shop.
I got an Avid Arctic 50 suit, which is the salopettes and jacket.
The Salopettes are far more waterproof the my lidl ones (as expected) 20,000HH rated, and quilted.
Very comfortable and nice warm...
