I was thinking of getting the Batson 6'6" 2wt 4 piece. But when i spoke to them they said they do not have a UK distributer and I would have to go through a US retailer. I had a look at Pacific Bay but they don't do a rod that small. I don't want anything overpriced like a Sage etc.. I just want a 6ft 4piece 2wt rod. Anyone you know that can suppy that spec other than Batson?
Thanks
Ian

You do realise the Greys is a made rod. This is about making your own rod, not an off the shelf one.
