Default New comp rod ???

Im in the market for a new comp rod. Looking to buy a new 10" 7wt. It will be used mainly for sinking and intermediate lines so it must be fairly stiff and fast actioned. I have been thinking about a greys gs2 comp, has anybody tried one yet and if so what did you think? Any other recommendations ?. Not looking to break the bank 200-300 quid max.
Thanks Mick.

Why not think about a BLOKE XL50.10'-7# this would fit your purpose perfectly.

Another vote for the Atomsix Tachyon. It might be at the top end of your budget but it delivers features and quality of a rod at twice the price IMO.
Plus you get a product that can be tailored to your own needs.

Thanks for the recommendations lads, warrants a bit of research. Not in any hurry, will most lightly be January before i place an order anywhere.

Hi Mick, I'm looking for a spare 10ft #7 but on a budget...

Can you PM me your email address, I have two .pdf articles which might be of use to you regarding reviews of 10ft #7.
