no worrys dave,
when you think fishtec were selling them for £100 a couple of years ago, now £50.00, how much to make?.....:eek:
 
Cheers George I already had one from Dragon carp, then they run out with the AT advert. Now just ordered another cracking value.

Wow that's cheap!

But is it worth it?
Mate of mine bought a couple of rods from Dragon carp, which looked ok on the site, but turned out to be awful!
 
I just bought one on the recommendation from a good friend, who is centrepin daft & I mean daft 60 and counting in his collection. I dont normally go for new centrepins I prefer the old pins apart from my adcocks but he talks highly of it and for £30 its a good working reel and wont break the bank, gets the thumbs up from me :)
 
Absolutely:)
 
Ordered mine from Dragon last week after seeing them in the AT at £30 and thought that they looked like the Ikonix etc. It'll be my first 'pin assuming that it arrives of course!

yes its a X pin ,not a inferior copy or lookie likee ,its a x-pin ,but they cant call it that ,even though tf-gear no longer sell x-pins (no longer a exclusive design) and x-pin is their brand name ,probably copyrighted ,so they're marketed as ikonix ,rodger at dragoncarp has obviously buying from the same wholesaler but didn't like the ikonix name so has his engraved with a italian name too tie in with the avanti brand ,but its still a X pin ,so its as good as a X pin ,which is a good reel and at rodgers prices makes it a very good reel .if rodger can sell them for £30 and make a profit ,then how much profit are some of the e-bay speculators making selling ikonix branded reels .

But what, I ask, is in a name when one wouldn't have one at any price?
