Re: tench rods?

I use the hyperloop rods for carp fishing, I also have a hyperloop heavy feeder.

I think they are excellent rods for the money, I have not tried the lower TC ones but I would give them a go if I had the chance.

Re: tench rods?

well if you like the john Wilson Avon and you are upgrading i highly recommend you take a serious look at the greys prodigy specimen .

it comes with two tips a one and a half test curve and a two pound test curve top section cost £99 has a life time guarantee .
You could use it as a light carp rod and the power in the bottom section you will be surprised how far you can cast with them and with the sensitivity of the tips you can see the gentlest of bites

i,ve be using been using them for about two years now and i,ve had great pleasure from using these rod 10 out of 10 in my book


regards
fish king

yes mate,i've had them 3 or 4 years, they are light enough for tenching and feeder work with enough beef in them to put out a method feeder or a good size deadbait,
would recommend them ,as mike says the hyperloop is a good rod as well.i know a few people who have them and have heard no complaints
