Still wanted Chimera 3

Hi folks, I'm still after a chimera 3 if anyone has one which is not currently in use on our flooded rivers. I have one but would like a pair. if I'm unable to find one then I'll have to decide whether to buy new and sell my original Powermesh PMS234B Barbel specials to finance it or just stick with the Diawa's. Difficult decision as they are such a good rod.
 
There’s a brand new pair on FB marketplace, by a highly regarded rod builder.
£590

Thanks Kevin, look very nice. I was hoping to get a single rod, I suppose I could sell my chimera along with the Diawa's and buy a matching pair.
 
They are a sought after Rod Kevin with secondhand values being quite close to new

You’ll struggle to get a nice spec secondhand one for less than £200 so you might as well just order a new one and be the first to christen it.

Dave lumb built mine to a very high spec with k series Fuji guides and isotope sight tips kdps screw up seats and they were very reasonably priced considering the spec was so high.
 
I’m sure you’re right, I’ve seen his rods and they are excellent quality. I really like the pair of Torrix that I bought but hindsight being the wonderful thing it is probably should’ve bought the chimeras for this time of year.
