Nash Outlaw any good?

I'm looking for a rod and freespool reel for my dear pater's birthday. Ideally I want a 2.25 - 2.5lb TC slowish taper rod and something along the lines of my trusty cheapo Daiwa Regal Z's. I have been looking through the magazines and I have found some deals on Nash Outlaw rods and reels that are very tempting price-wise, I just need to know if they are any good.

The kit looks lovely in the photos but has anyone seen them in the flesh who can give me a comment on them.

(I realise this isn't strictly a beginners topic but as it is entry-level carping kit I thought it might be useful to other beginners)

jim shelley says he uses them....

trust me they are great rods and the reels are also brillent i bought mine for ?50 from my local tacke shop and i cant fault them i have been using it for about 6 months now and it is brillent nice and light but strong enought to cope with big carp. trust me they are the best you will find for this money

hope this helps

I agree completely with Michael, I've had two for over 12 months.
