Your comment regarding the action of this rod and it coming alive when hooked up to a lump, or similar, nails it. Yes the blank I have is a no frills workmanlike rod, which is how I like it. Although I only fish one rod, I have pairs of my usual go to rods, wouldn't hesitate in using Bob the rod to build it. He also whips a simple Drennan isotope rubber tubing holder, which has performed well with no wrap ups.
Tooled up with a quality 4000 size reel, its a nice set up.
However Chris was asking regarding a beefier set up, and I digress, but what is clear I need to up my game on some new 2lb plus t.c rods.

Hi Neil

Bob is still building rods but has gone solo from Angling Direct. He is still based at the Birmingham AD shop 0121 344 3333. Or at least he was there just before the last lockdown began!

I think you’ve forgotten how bad a Vauxhall Cavalier is Terry! I recall ours with fondness, as it’s idle valve jammed intermittently, standing you as you pulled out on a round about... Not even a £9.99 Argos special is the rod equivalent.
