Tackle box Darent valley specimen carp rods, any good

[jules007]

Having had an issue with my wychwood rods i am considering getting the title rods 10ft 3lb , so are these rods worth getting, cant really find any reviews on them

I have never used them but someone told me they were decent for the money, probably better than all the soniks etc in that price bracket. 

For £85 you could get some free spirit helicals, which will be decent.

found some reviews on google seems very good rods with top customer service but a few tales of the cork handles being a bit poor

Cork handles always seem to get damaged in my experience. Too easy to take a chunk out of them or they go out of shape after sitting in butt grips or whatever.

Or look at The Enduro's if you want to look at12ft.

I know they are 12ft, but not a bad price:
