Nope, not worth swapping imo. Why get rid of a rod that can do everything and replace it with a rod that can only do what you need it to at this moment in time? So why go shorter mate? You will hit 80 with short rods, but not much further with accuracy Imo.

Plasterers hands? After I went through a stage of losing fish on a particular pattern of Fox hooks that opened out and would spring back in most cases, I started testing hooks. The Korda post comment above was an 'aberration' moment, I forgot Dave had started using them. The hook looked like one of my Muggas, even to the braid hooklink, but Dave had taken one of my rigs (and hooklink making gear) and copied it. Bruce and I could go through our tackle boxes and use any of each others gear with no qualms, the only thing we didn't agree on was mainline choice. Our hooks I have a feeling I was buying from work and then selling to him at my staff price.

Specialist sharpened Mugga. Lovely hook. Just look past the price tag 😖

ESP have made some truly magical vids in the last year or so. Search 'Terry Hearn' and you should find them.
