Just had a 'waggle' with 2 new prototype rods that'll be out for next season. Got to say, was impressed with them. 2 models I handled were around 7ft and 10-60grm and 7-40grm.
The reel seat looks and feels real nice and comfy in the hand and over all the rods were very light. Didn't get chance to feel them with a reel on, so no real ideas on balance. Butt was nice and short, with the end reaching my elbow when holding it where the reel would be. Low rider eyes, different type on each model.
on the downside, blank thickness didn't look overly great. But it wasn't 'wafer' thin or anything.
Think they're gona be priced around £250. If they fish as good as they look, I think I'll have one for next season:-D
