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!

I had their tsi 11 and now have their 12 specimen. I know they also did a 15 float and 13 carp rods. If its not shown they perhaps may not be. Thanks for your response. Nice Rods u have listed , should sell quickly.

May I ask please, the tfg rods, are these the tsi blanks?

Goodness I love that when the tip is almost pointing at my feet.

Hopefully they are not enveloped in questions, at least from me, as we're the Hardy marksman copies. Much heralded , guys behind them off the scenes at tt, quite quick. Wonder what those, nearly 300£ apeice are worth now. Came close to buying a couple on ebay but lost out. Still would like a...

one simple reason for that Edward is the economics of rod stock is untenable these days. A tackle shop pays x for the rod and adds 50% normally. Out of that they pay 20% on the mark up, fund the rod sitting on display forever how long. When I went into tackle box, a cracking store, I was...

I said some years ago, when what little knowledge I have, was even smaller, that if money was no object , any fishing rod blank was capable of replication. I offered to start a a group to investigate. I was told it was impossible. I didn't agree because to those determined enough , virtually...

A while ago I would have grabbed at this as a perfect medium carp rod.
