11'6" pair of factory built rods, SiC guides.
Used a couple of times but I tend to use one rod so these don't get used so are in excellent condition.
I also have the rod bags with them
£320 collected from Wellingborough Northamptonshire

Hi
Unstated on the snag and flood rod blank but said to be 2lb.
Designed for underarming up to 5oz of terminal tackle and pva bags.
I’m only a short trip from you if you want to view them
Cheers

No a through to middle actioned rod for lobbing and playing with backbone for big fish.
I have 3 of them 2 are in sleeves for fishing 2 rods (not being used) and the 3rd is made up as a single rod outfit. Definitely a keeper but I only tend to go out with 1 rod so will keep the 3rd and sell the other 2 and use the reels for another project.

I absolutely love an 11 foot rod. My go to rods for heavy water on the nene are free spirit S blanks big rivers which are as tough as they come and very much like a c3. I love the action of them but something a bit shorter and just as powerful would be even nicer. I don’t want a stiff poker with a floppy tip just a powerful rod and at 11,6 these could be the daddy. I must research them a bit more before committing. Cheers
 
They are just the rod you have described, perfect for Nene and Great Ouse 👍

lots of info about them on this forum
Cheers

Can’t believe the price they were and now are!!!
 
Had a pair of these since they were released - absolutely bombproof British engineering. No problem with a 4oz big feeder cast overhead on the tidal Trent or lower Severn. Underarm lob - 6oz big feeder (3oz of pellets etc.) absolutely no problem.
Action is deep/progressive, when you need to put the power on action goes to just below the first rod ring. Great as a 'hit-and-hold' rod, and controlling big doubles on big, deep & swift rivers i.e. lower Trent. Construction is bombproof as well - industrial level of build and finish - lacquer on mine are still clear & unblemished and all rings/reel fittings are top notch. Had 4 nice fish on the tidal to 10lb on one of mine yesterday - XL 4oz feeder casting 40 yards overhead all afternoon no problem. A classic rod.
 
I’ve had a think Luke and I’m going to buy a set of these but sadly not this set and I’ll explain why.
my free spirits are custom built. They have 7 Fuji k series sic guides plus tip positioned in a ringing pattern that I have specified. They also have permanently whipped on isotopes with a custom design sight tip. Now even at your price which is a bargain btw it would cost me more to have these rebuilt how I wanted them then it would for me to have a custom pair built.
the other thing is your rods look to be a clear varnished finish and no rod builder that I know would want to reposition rings on a glossed finish rod because it’s near on impossible to not leave witness marks where the original position was on this finish.
now I know most people will buy them and be happy how they are but if I’m buying rods to replace custom built rods then I think I’d probably regret not customizing the new set.
Cheers for the information mind. I’ll be seriously considering a set to replace the big river S’s
 
Richard, absolutely no problem, I’m sure someone will be along soon 😁

They are a wonderful blank as Simon’s testimony and you will love playing fish on them👍

I can confirm whoever buys from luke, will not be disappointed with their purchase. I brought a load of shimano technium rods from him, and they were as mint condition as you could get. Still not used them😳
