I have to agree with Spencer the century NG rod is without dout the best players rod available on the market. but will set you back at least £220 each and they are only avaliable in 2 3/4 TC. The Fox warrior is possibly the softest rod I have used recently and they retail at around £50.00 each again the lowest they do is 2 3/4 TC. Tight lines mate

Lee while going through all the rods in the Box I came across the Free spirit barbel rod, what a lovely tool but it had a £180 price tag with another £80 for a softer top section. NO DEAL ;D

I'm not really into tackle Lee (I'm no tackle tart and all that), but when you feel them you just know they are right, for what I want. Soft enough for big tench when I get into Korda and pokey enough to handle DDAPS carp. ;D
