Hi iv been out of the Trout scene for quite a while and I'm looking for a reservoir rod but want to get as much for my money as I can. For ressies I guess I'm looking at a 9 1/2 to 10 foot rod, 7# weight ? recommendations please.

Dave

You cant go wrong with a Airflow delta classic, I think they come in at around £70 a good decent all round rod.

Shakespeare Odyssey 9 1/2 ft 7 weight 4 piece rod comes with bag and tube thirty odd quid . Got a few much more expensive rods lying unused since I got this a few months ago use it all the time and love it .

Have to say i agree with fishfinger, outstanding value for money and a great casting tool, i have sage loomis loop and orvis rods, and this for 30smackers matches them all..........

I've just picked up a Wychwood Truefly 9 1/2 foot #6/7 for £65 with cordura tube, can't complain at all.
Had a cast with my mates 3 piece 9 foot #6/7 Shakespeare Odyssey today though and hes picked up a real bargain there! £28 from Ted Carters and they do the 9 1/2 foot for the same price. No tube with that, though to be honest most of the time I find my tube to be just another bit of unnecessary luggage.

Alex is that you from the P&P forum? I guess it is from the Snypes link?

alrite mate its Dave Greenwood here Iv seen the Odyssey on ebay and have to say it looks a nice rod for £30

Does the amount of sections make much difference on a fly rod? does a two piece have a better action than a 3 or a 4?

Agreed there mate its carp
