They would be perfect size for 1.75 rods but not with 6oz leads as the reply above.

Used twice so in as new condition, loaded with 8lb speci tuff. £70 collection form Alton Hampshire.

Will do mate

I recently bought some 11ft 2.25lb rods, the bloke I bought them from said the were custom gti blanks. I did email Steve Harrison and he confirmed they probably were gti's. I just have nothing to compare them to. They are very nice rods, landed me big Thames Barbel and casting 4oz feeders mid...

That's perfect, thanks mate

Can anyone that knows or that has tried both of them me the difference between the gti blank and the avon blank? Thanks

I use 12ft 2lb Torrix for Tench and find them perfect for the job, like you landing me big carp to 44.8. I use 11ft 2.25lb harrison gti's for bigger river Barbel, they are very through action and think they wouldn't have copped as well with that Carp.

If no leader them korda line saver bead with a qc swivel on then a large bore bead pushed over the top. Gives a bolt effect but is 100% safe as the top bead comes off and up the mainline.

Bbetter balance i think, but in reality you don't wind that quick for it to make a difference.

Cool, that's what I went for. Didn't know if there were other options. Not too keen on the plastic knob though, do you know if they can be changed?

What handles did you get? The ones on the baitrunner st4000.

Personally I like the kigan 3d gunsmoke and matching anti frap tip.

Brilliant, thanks mate.

Does anyone have this reel and how does it compare in size to the 4000? Is it just spool depth or is the spool a larger diameter? Thanks.

If you're local to Hampshire you're welcome to have a try mate

Had a waggle in the Garden, at 20ft it feels a bit cumbersome but 17ft perfect and very light considering its lenght. Going to try it at Throop in a couple of weeks.

So after months of searching I've finally found one. Mint and unused, still with plastic on the handle and a bargain. Well chuffed with this one!

Neither would I, my arms aren't that long

Cheers mate but think I might hold out incase there is a 17ft Acolyte specimen rod coming. Won't really need it till the summer anyway.

Same, I hand the majority of my Chub and smaller Barbel with my 14ft acolyte when wading so don't think I'll have too much bother with a net and an extra 3ft rod. The only thing is what to do with a net whilst wading, usually it's in a tree behind me and I just carefully walk backwards to grab...
