Bob's rods are great John, though there are other makers out there.

Paul thanks for the post. Could you find me a Milbro Match please :D
 
Trefor West barbell rod 1.75 TC from Lone Angler, I have found this model just perfect, it’s been used all through the winter and despite the flooded rivers I didn’t stop fishing
 
Has anyone looked at the 'Tackle Fanatics' advert for the six Harrison specialist rods on Phils link above? It claims this on each of the rod adds (and I have copied and pasted the claim) 'This is a second-hand item. The images shown are of the ACTUAL PRODUCT. Click on thumbnail image for a detailed version'.

The problem for me is that when you click on those thumbnails, they are the all same library pictures on every rod. How can that be right?

Cheers, Dave.

i've bought 2nd hand rods and reels from tackle fanatics before and have found them to be spot on,i have also found their description of "good condition" errs on the side of caution and i would have described the goods as excellent..
i have rods at home which include a set of 3 esp sniper 2 carp rods, korum neoteric 1.75 original quiver rod, shimano dl4000 reel, shimano dl6000 reels, plus many more rods and reels which i've sold on and bought for a lot less money than i would have done on e-bay, spend £100 and over and get free delivery or spend £20 on bait and get free delivery and it's always next day with ups, i have my eye on a drennan super feeder on there at the moment for £79.99 which i know will be spot on..
i can only speak as i've found and i have nothing to do with tackle fanatics whatsoever but if i'm looking for something it's always my first port of call....
 
Just before Christmas i saw 2 x second hand, 11ft, 1.75lb torrix rods for sale at tacklefanatics.I was working in the area and popped in to see what they were like,both were advertised as standard torrix's on the website.They both looked brand new,one had been custom built, the other had been built by Mark Tunley it had the special fuji k rings etc,the lad helped with the usual bending etc of the rods and as you can guess i chose the Tunley rod, both were £139.99.I would say if you cannot get there to see the rods then phone them and ask them to send you photos etc of each rod,they will possibly all be different builds. I do not know where they get their rods from but they all looked really good.

I rang them this morning about these rods, and they said the were all individual pictures, and said they were all in very good nick, at that time one had sold (2.0 t.c)
