Wow, that's sad

Well it has just arrived. No extras to pay. I think it is a lot of rod for a delivered price of £124. Pitty I could not afford the r design Rive. Ha!

Perhaps I put it badly. I only used spine to describe the effect.

Not arrived yet but tracking says its with parcel force in essex. Hopefully Monday it will arrive. Looking for a nice reel for it now.

Did u tap it against something Cliff? I know one rod expert told me rods are designed to bend every way except backwards. By that he meant along the spine ie the tip pointing back towards the handle.That can happen if tip touches an object but the rod is pushed forwards so effectlvely the tip...

Wow.

I have a very nice browning silverlite pro feeder. It's got a nice reel seat, American, I think, screw up and double locking rings. . They cone loose too! Ha.

That's encouraging Stephen. Tbh if it costs me 150 instead of 124£ then I can live with that. I am old now, made more mistakes than most and survived. It's a want rod so , so what. Still would like the r design 11, if anyone has one. Ha!. I will accurately record and disclose what I am charged.

Got a feeling I was wrong about vat being included so expect to be hit with 29% vat.

He's a nice guy, is Cliff. Did me an enormous favour collecting a tsi rod for me and bringing it home. Plus and more importantly, he is a true gentlemen. That is easily proved as like me he supports spurs! Ha.

Maybe vat at 29%. Oh well easy come etc. I will let u know. Vat is paid by the seller so double bubble will be unfair but goverments do Trump!

yes thats true. I think if its over £150 then duty is paid but never tested it.

Yes, me too. Ha but rod is only £105 so I can live with that.

as we are both local. Your venue Cliff, if I may ask?

Pre Brexit I often purchsed fishing items in europe, Since then this has become prohibitively expensive.I have looked for a while for a Rive r design rod, sold by A/D for over £400 when current. I had seen one in a few tackle shops in France and Austria. I decided too expensive for me but always...

Satan get behind me!

Hardy we're using Suho corporation for their fly rod blanks in China 20 years ago. John Wilson and Bruce Vaughan went to them for the original J W Young blanks too, (wooden reel seat versions).

Thanks Richard. Haven't heard if seller will split so plan to leave it for now.. Pleased you sold the rs. I bought one in covid days, 210 new. Silly money. Shifted it quickly as too powerful for me. There's a mk 1 free spirit 12 float on ebay which I am watching. Did say, never again to a fs...

Wondered! Good luck

Jay has beaten me to it Raymond. One I could fancy if willing to spit. Interest increased when I saw you lived in e6. I am in barking e11 Saturday. Jay, if you are watching, I could pick them up for you. I will be in your direction/ area certainly no later than April. Promise I won't use, ha!
