Summerlands site are showing discounted prices on all the range. richie awt will be able to shed more lite on this than me but i think a few casters r using these in the field. normally a good sign ;D i did see a AFAW rod last year that had the worst ever whipping job i had ever seen. Bubbles all over the place hi build splattered up the ring legs  could have been a rogue as not heard anyone else comment on this ;D |

(but i think it will go into the buy it now swap it bin ) As the rods r far from cheap a decent quality build shud be the least u cud expect IF abu,diawa,and the other major companies can put 2 geva a decent finish on sub 50 quid rods its baffling :confused: All the GREYS,conoflex,century and Zziplex rods seem to be built to a hi standard, the factory finishd ones not the top range custom jobs ;D But wots it like apart from build |

Take it u not impressed with the AFAW |
