cyprinus magmatex was well regarded when you could find one but think they are nearer to a £100 these days, may get one a bit cheaper with a bid on ebay
had a daiwa regal bri that performed well,i passed it on and it's still going strong. think it was only about £40 when i got it. bought shimmys after though and probably wouldn't change from shimano now
what part of the country are you chris as it may help someone give you a local rod builder? may keep the costs down a touch,i'd be keeping the harrisons as well
well done blues battling to beat the dogheads last night after the dismal home defeat to qpr last week,looked like the fans enjoyed it. wolves look terrible,i think leeds will be a different proposition but we shall see-kro
