Have no comment on the rods you mention but have just bought the Greys Prodigy Power Float and can highly recomend it.
Coarse Fisherman have a review on Power Float Rods in this months edition.

Dont bother with the fox TFG or Okuma/ Ron Thompson, try the Greys prodigy brilliant quality and a life time guarantee the others dont even come close?
Thanks

MacGreedy: firstly, I'd take what Dave said with a pinch of salt. I have a terrific TFG 15 foot rod (the Grunt) and it comes with a lifetime, no quibble, money back guarantee.

You don't mention the type of fishing you'll be doing but for general float work on still waters this is as good as any I've used. Also great on rivers for barnel and chub and most others you're likely to run into.

HTH anf good luck.
