Quantum Energy by Browning 12ft 6in, 2.75tc, fuji rings throughout, nice slim blank - nice through action but 'tippy' enough for margin stuff! ?100 (and thats half price) from J & K's Bicester.

Steve having viewed the rest the Powermesh rods just stood out as being better than Fox , Shimano or Nash offerings in the same cost range.I urge you to feel each rod with a reel on and line through the rings , this of course must be done in a tackle shop , it is the only way of knowing if you are going to get on with a rod.Even then it can be difficult to get it right.

I'm looking for a rod for stalking and margin stuff. I am specifically looking for a 10ft very light rod with a hook clip if possible. Would the Powermesh fit (or get close to) this bill?

steve despite what the others have told you by far the best rod available in your price range is the giant available in 2.5 , 2.75, 3.00 test curve.
it is not me that decided this but every single magazine that tested rods under ?100 put the giant at the top.

i have used giant and i can assure you that they are extremely good for the money & also have friends who also use them. i have not heard one bad report about them.i even have one friend who has cashed in his expensive diawa rods for giants.
leeda do indeed advertise a lot but with the giant they got it right & i have no doubt that soon they will tweek and ruin them

Paul,
Mike Fidler has Giant rods and he is well pleased with them.
I have their spod rod and find it very good for the money.
