I was feeling a little guilty about hijacking this thread by my reference to rods being like footballers( it may merit a thread of its own) but then recalled that the thread was started by you John and I assume you are not concerned!
Be nice to get it back on track, if anyone is interested in the rod? I was very pleasantly surprised by the action and quality of the Harrison blank, since they aren’t universally known for float rods. Also, others on here have intimated that the rod is heavy, but, and I’ve had it on the scales, it’s 196g which is 7oz and very respectable for a 14ft Match rod. I would imagine that the strength of the blank might place it near to the Acolyte Ultra. It’s not going to be used for barbel but will mainly be used for grayling, with my nice new (to me) Purist II 2051 ‘pin.
Can’t wait!
