    Just wanted talk about this rod BB. I decided to buy one after your review, so I bought one on eBay from billy Clark’s fishing spares. First time I used it it snapped between the top and second top eye on the rod. I sent billy Clark’s an email and some photos and within the week free spirit had sent them a replacement and it was in my hands. The service from both companies was second to none. I accept that there can be faults and it may have been damaged in transit or even by me, so no complaints about it being damaged. It was the respect that was important for me. The rod by the way is absolutely brilliant for the price. I just wanted to let everyone know how good free spirit were

      Great comment Jim, and really good to hear your honest findings with it… I’ve never been able to criticise FreeSpirit, they’ve been fantastic! 👍🏻 BB

      Yeah really happy with the rod BB and accept a rod can break. The service was brilliant and my integrity was never questioned once👍

    Just a quick one as the ctx comes in it's own ready rod bag that you can leave the reel on. Looking at this and guessing this one doesn't. Love the vlog

    I bought the helicol carp 3lb and waggler both 10' caught a nice 4 1/4 lb carp on the waggler they do bend a lot... I wonder how far they can bend ?
    They say double figure carp on the rods ?
    They are finished nicely waited nearly a year for mine.
