Wowsers, I had a pair of these before I moved onto all the Hardy range in 2006,
If I remember correctly they were a very through action , a proper players rod, and they caught me plenty of chub and barbel on the Derbyshire Derwent..
They were purchased from tansley car boot sale for 30 quid , they served me well for a good 5 seasons.....
Sorry for the unhelpful rant....

Yes Rob they were very good and a real players rod with a good progressive action.
I then bought a pair of Hardy Marksman 11 ft 6 Avon's , and they were okay when the bottom 3rd of the rod started to work.
But the top 2/3rds were way to soft...
If you find another I'd be very interested, as I'm thinking about a pair of Harrison SU Avon's for close quarter battle work, and I think the normaks were slightly underated as an avon...
