ROTOFRYER ROTOFRYER Demon FW Member Registered: 24/05/01 Posts: 2178 Loc: Bangkok, Thailand	that is useful information. if the rods suit what you want then buy them. I'm sure if you actually used your noggin and did a search you may find out more. _________________________ Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.

Filthy_Animal Filthy_Animal Star FW Member Registered: 03/09/03 Posts: 1418 Loc: Polar bear country	Why change what isn't broken? You have 2 sets of very good rods that will cope with everything you will encounter in carping from margin work to extreme distance and due to Century's autoclave process will last a very long time. Personally I can't see the point of moving to a set of far eastern cheapos with a hefty price tag. Some of Greys' stuff is great yet they do or have had bad problems with some of their range due to outsourcing blank manufacture. _________________________ Your mother's a welder!

Good advice FA,if you want a set of bigger rods...go for ng,s,u already got some and theres plenty about in the 2nd hand market,just got a set of Torrix 12 ft 3 1/4 50's more doh but built to last. _________________________ Prefer the larger pits
