Glad you sold it Kevin and I’m sure whoever bought it got a bargain there.
They remain perennially popular reels, and that is why I bought one to try a couple of years back. In the end I didn’t get on with it- didn’t like the way the line kinked on the pillars, or the way the shallow arbour...
Understood. Tricky to find long rods in stock, but worth a go. The current 17’ Connoisseur isn’t a power float model, so you may be better off waiting on a second hand Spectron. I’ve seen a few in the last 18mths or so.

Hello gentlemen,
