Pual, i was looking into buying one in the end i got a matt hayes specialist. im not sayin its a better rod, it doesnt do 11ft or 133ft just 12, but i wanted something a bit more beefed up so i got the MH 1.5lbs version but you can get in 1.25lbs. so far ive had carp to 10lbs on it and chub to 4lb and its a loverly rod. i would reccomend one!!
hope you find the rod your after!
