Really relieved because somebody had warned me about the particular ebay seller not fulfilling orders which left me a little concerned. Haven't had a chance to check all three but they were packaged well so no doubt they are fine. Pulled one out to have a look, lovely rods, seem superbly finished for the price (£45.00 each!!!). Nice, slim, matt black blanks, very understated graphics, which I like. I'll use these in France and loan my Velocities to my daughter for the week. So now have 4 sets of rods, two of which have yet to be introduced to the wife...... Well I guess you'd better sell more cars and ramp up your commission , Smufter , then whisk your Wife off on a weekend break ! . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not in stock at the moment, but expected by Wednesday! They have arrived! Oh man they are gorgeous! Light weight and a perfect size to pair with my Free Spirit ES (12ft - 2.75lb). Just waiting on the spool of Technium Black to load onto them. Got a quick overnighter planned for Wednesday. 1 B.C. reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
