Released maybe 5-6 years ago, quite an old pole and very good in it's day, I heard.
I take it you've seen one for sale at a bargain price. Newer poles carry a much lower RRP, the tackle industry started wising up, a little. So when you compare it to something newer, look for one around ?200 less in RRP.
Example: In 1995 I was handed an 11 metre pole to test with an RRP of ?400 with no spare tops to it, it was as it came and reasonable priced then. Today you can buy an 11 metre Maiver Moby ****, a cracking pole, with a spare top two for ?130 and I have seen it advertised for less than ?100.
