Has anyone used this rod, your thoughts welcomed please? I have a couple of decent feeder type rods in the Drennan Specialist Duo and a JW signature but I was thinking of going smaller to 10ft in my local park.

Would be handy to put on my trolley and walk over when my daughter has the car. Some decent size carp and tench in the lake.

Never tried the Mach 1, (the Mach 3 series felt pretty good in the shop) but I have the Maver Abyss X 10'0 and it's a decent rod at a similar price

I've got the 10ft abyss - decent rod for the money

That Maver looks okay, thanks for your replies.

I've got the Mach 2 xt at 10ft, and its a superb little rod, BUT, yesterday, I bought, second hand, the Mach 1 xt at 10ft because it has a bit more 'beef' if needed, (and the price was right), for some of the waters I fish.
