Rod clearance

I'm getting rid of some of my rods. So I have for sale.

Korum neoteric twin tip. 12 foot 1.75 and 2.2lb tc's. This is the older version than the current one and IMO is a much nicer rod. It has never been used and still has the plastic over the full cork handle. Brought it 6 months ago for £120 am after £75, or alternatively could swap it for a 11 foot barbel rod with a tc of around 1.75 with cash either way if required if the right rod is offered.

1 shakespear skp 12 foot 2.5lb tc carp rod. This rod feels softer than its stated tc and could be used as a flood water rod. There is slight mouse damage to part of the abbreviated handle but it's the size of a 5p. Comes with original cloth bag after £20 for it.

Shimano x carp rod 11 foot 1.25lb tc. Lovely blank on it, abbreviated duplon handle. Don't really want it to go but it just doesn't get used and my tackle cupboard is bursting at the seams. £45

Ideally meet around the reading area as posting rods can be a pain but if needed will post at buyers cost (£10 via interparcel). Any questions please ask.

I'm very surprised that your Neoteric hasn't sold. It's a very good rod and as you pointed out the older ones seem to be better than the newer version. I looked very hard and long at buying one of these. And no, I'm not related to Ben!
 
Thanks Jim it is a lovely rod but with 3 rods already very limited time it's not needed. Typical impulse buy when working by a tackle shop I'd never been in before.
