I have just ordered one, a travel barbel,to develop my own centrepin use. I have a greys prodigy whch i really like. Before this, i used a John Wilson barbel rod which does not, in my opinion, come anywhere near the quality of the grey's rod both in build and use. I bought the greys to use with the pin but thought travel rod might be auseful addition. For the money, £95, i doubt it will be a waste of money buying oneanyway.I realise you have had no comments despite posting last year. maybe you have already bought one. if so, let me know what you think of it?
