Just been offered 200 so think I'll take that to be honest I'm chatting with him so I'll let you no if the deal drops out,

But they are bloody hard to find other wise I'd keep it and buy 2 more
 
Blimey, i,m sure ive got a TFG rod buried in the shed somewhere, ( not sure which ) have to dig it out for that sort of money.
 
£200 Jesus
There was some hype years back that they were built on seeker blanks but I don’t believe it’s true.

The TFG river and stream rod is not based on a free spirit blank, therefore not worth IMO more than £80 tops. I've compared the TFG river and stream rod against a free spirit specialist advanced rod 11 ft and 1.2lb which are rare as rocking horse shit and sell for £150 plus on eBay. And yes I've got a pair of them! The free spirit rod is a fantastic small river chub rod, or pearch rod, which has more backbone than Shimano technicum specialist 12ft 1.4lb which I sold a pair of to someone from BFW last season. Free spirit specialist advanced rods also come as 11 or 12ft in 1.5lb if you want a bit more power for bigger rivers, I got a 12 ft 1.5lb for £50 last year off eBay! The blanks are not Hi s, or S blanks one range down, more like an Gold or E class.
