Wanted (again): Power Float Rod 14ft.

[Kevin aka Aethelbald]

Still looking...

Got myself an Acolyte Specimen rod, but the one I ordered was broken, so I got a refund. Might still order one from another dealer, but it's given me pause for thought.

He seems to specialise in float rods and they look quality.

I have recently done the same thing and looked for a powerful float rod. I could not afford to have one built. I picked up a 14ft Harrison GTI SU for less than £30 off eBay I have stripped it to the blank and will rebuild it myself, that is how I ensure I get the quality I want at a price I can justify. Yes it’s an old blank and it’s heavy, the blank alone is 153g which is about the weight of my 14ft Shimano triple X. However it is a different beast altogether.

There are quite a few on eBay at the moment. You might like this and you could collect from Somerset.

That's 13ft Mike and the daft thing is, they are two-piece... try fitting that in a rod bag.

Thanks, but they start at £380.00 and I want to keep it under £200.00 for a used rod. (I'll edit my original post.)

I thought that was a world record.
