At the time the the mk1 blue diamonds were a lot of money and lovely high end rods.
The “stick” was an absolute dream of a little 13footer and better than a lot of the offerings coming out of shimano and daiwa.

They were slim, light and very crisp rods with cracking guides. I’ve had 1 or 2 over the years and found them an absolute pleasure to fish with
 
Sorry lads just see your messages. @Peter Thomas. I've got this version which you're right, is perfect for chub and barbel too. I've also got the stick float version which is an absolute joy. Blanks are nice and slim with plenty of back bone if needed @Richard Isaacs

I’m not. The problem is leeda back then built a very different rod to leeda now and to many people the name is associated with cheap Micky mouse rods.

@Derek Funcks ref the shocked face to my post.
It was taken all out of context.
I was trying to be complimentary to the thread as I’m a huge fan of the rod.
Half my post was deleted making it look worse than it was.

I wasn’t trying to cause problems in this thread despite what it now looks like. 🙄
 
Sorry lads. Just saw this.
@Antony Myatt. No mate still for sale. Didn't amend the price on here but have since put it up for sale on other sites for a bit more. Hopefully can find it a good home. If not I'll put it to use myself 😉

@Richard Isaacs No harm done matey. I know it wasn't intended that way. No problem at all. Hope you're well
