Afternoon all ..

I picked up one of these on Saturday

Model: Grauvell SPECIALIST LT
Test Curve [lbs]: 1.10
Length [m]: 3.40
Number of Sections: 2
Blank Material: High Modulus Carbon

Feels very nice bit strong very light works well with the pin still had the plastic wrapper on the cork it even has alining marks as well in its original bag .
feels right with the pin on it

Good or bad anyone not heard of them myself but the finish is very good .

Found this on another forum from 2009.
Rob who frequents the general fishing pages has one, and really likes it, you can get them for about £55

As if by magic.... :D

Yeah only bought it before Xmas but its a lovely little rod, got the 1lb 2oz version and its possibly a tad light to cover all of my chubbing needs (mid sized river) but as I wanted it for perching too it fits that bill very nicely, would consider the 1lb 6oz one too in the future for a tad more oomph

I've got one.It should be a twin tip rod and like all twin tip rods in one configuration its great and in the other rubbish...imo. As a quiver its a great little rod for light feeder/lead fishing....used mine for river roach. I threw the avon top away. Bought mine years ago when they were not well known but highly regarded. Didn't like the rings though....too big.
