Having looked at a few rods around this price range, i was very interested in these, they looked good quality and and had the name to go with it.
I got them home and chucked on my reels and they seemed to balance up fairly nicely.
I got them to the bank and being a small lake i just chucked them out about 40 yards, and they were lovely, getting a fish on they were very nice to play fish on even being 3lb tc.

The only problem i have found is distance casting, when you try to compress them for a big chuck i have noticed that the recovery on them is quite poor. You seem to be able to compress them a bit too easily and then the lead just dosent seem to go any distance at all...
