Got 3 of these look well made ,nice carbon weave, no rest curve only MINK decal above the handle, perhaps the name did not go down well with a lot of fisher folk , any info. appreciated , thanks .
 
You could be right , they do look well made , with no other info on them , could be made up blanks feel about 2 1/2 lb test curve , shall have to try one next week on the trent, hopefully see how they perform attached to a barbel .
 
Check the test curve with a set of scales (spring balance best) and a length of line through rod's line guides. Then you'll have a better idea of the rod's 'action', and of what line will 'balance' the rod best.
N.b.. I've got Harrisons and Free Spirits (Hi-s SUs) but I rate my old £50 Nash Tri-Tips 'Specialists' (circa 1999) above them all. No one, not even Nash themselves, can tell me who made the blanks ... they're 'anon'. Labels mean nowt IMO. Enjoy ;)
 
Thanks for info will try this , they feel quite a through action without being to wallowy and that sort of checked weave to the carbon plus a neat chunky hookclip suggest a good quality blank , will have to road test week after next on the trent .
