I stumbled across this offer http://www.totalflyfisher.com/Subscriptions/ today and wondered if anyone had taken advantage of it, and what they thought of the rod?
It's for Totalflyfisher magazine, a year's subscription and a 9' 5/6 weight 3 piece fly rod for £37.30.
Just the subscription without the rod is about £25. They claim the rod is worth £65.99. I don't know who makes it. Has anyone any experience or knowledge of this rod?

I've tried a few fly magazines and some are better than others. I believe this one has some good articles and is more than an advertisement, are there any regular readers of it who can shed more light?

I'm not sure whether I'm a sucker for advertising or I've spotted a good deal for a rod size and weight that I don't have at just the right time!

This is a good and honest deal.

Jim

So it does....well spotted, I missed that in all the excitement.
Looks like I missed a good offer then!
A shame they can't keep their website updated.
Thanks for your answers.
Courty

Don`t worry about the date to much it has been running for ages, months. I think the date chages with every new monthly issue.
Used to be either a new line I think for a 6 month sub, rod for 12 month or both for 18 months.
Give them a ring and see if the offer is still on.

Dave

I've got the August 09 issue in front of me and the date the offer ends is 07/08/2009. I suspect they keep changing it in case they want to introduce an new offer.
Shame they stopped that 18-month subscription offer, sounds like it was a good deal (if you're going to buy the mag anyway).

Stu

Just had a look at an old issue where the line, rod or the line plus rod were on offer and the end date for that was 08-08-08. That`s how long the offer has been on and closing for.
Must have a lot of rods to get rid of.

Dave

I had a loan of the rod for a month and is a decent wee rod for the price.

I took the subscription and got the rod about three weeks ago. (it arrived very quickly).
I used it for the first time last night and was very impressed. It worked very well and, as mentioned earlier, cast a long line with litle effort.
The only minor niggle?.......

IT DIDN'T CATCH ANY FISH!!!!!!!
