Perdurable blank

[Richard Parsons]

His were in the region of 1lb 8 or 1lb 10oz test.

That may be the difference then.

 

[Adam Wylie]

If we take the two rods complete in standard form there is differences.
for 1 the reel seats.
Top free spirits use an expensive carbon fibre reel seat with a built in isotope. Probably 60-65 quid worth
Your torrix is probably a plastic Fuji dps £12-15
Now I prefer the Fuji all day long despite the cost difference. Those carbon ones are a pain in the arse.
there is going to be people that tell you they are better and people that say they aren’t. I’m sure you’ve heard it a thousand times but never buy a rod on price or someone else’s opinion.
you’ll know all too well Adam that just leads to flogging them off cheap.
