'SUPERB FOR ITS PRICE'

Strengths:
4oz roach to 5LB carp, you are in touch all the time.

Weaknesses:
I have had the rod a week and as yet can't find any weaknesses

Overall:
If you can't afford different rods for different occasions then get one of these. you can do just about any type of fishing with it. 2lb line to 6lb line. Can now be bought for £139.99 ( thats the cheapest I have seen to date)

'A LOT OF FUN'

Strengths:
Excellent action,finish and balance.You feel like its an extension of your arm

Weaknesses:
As mentioned by Stuart,the rings are a bit small,but as most of these rods will be used on lakes this is not really a problem

Overall:
A lovely rod to play fish on,it bends forever.Fantastic rod for the commercials during the colder months,and great for silver fish.I wouldn't use it in a snaggy situation or when the fish were consistently over 4lbs though,it just doesn't have the stopping power.Thats what the 12ft 9in version is for!

'A WELL FINISHED BIT OF KIT'

Strengths:
Nice play action. Very good build quality.Good reel seat.Light in the hand and well balanced with a reel in place.

Weaknesses:
Rings are very small in diameter so for trotting its not the best as the line does not slip through them smoothly.

Overall:
A nice well made rod with a lovely compound taper action.
