Tigger, I was in there today, they were the 300 quid daiwa rods, tried to get my mate to buy one, he nearly did until he saw the price, Last time he went mooching around the shops with me was a few weeks ago, I had got him a deal on a pole at LTB, while he was there I convinced him to get the same seatbox as me, An hour later he left the shop 850 quid lighter, today he only spent 80 quid, his wife has told him he cant go tackle shop mooching with me anymore, We both got a couple of good bargains at LTB, I think they forgot how much it should have been and we got charged more or less half price, Another mate thought he did well getting a tenner knocked off the same item a few weeks ago until I told him what we paid.
if you go to AD at Hindley have a look at their own brand of rods Advanta.
