Default Flextec and Airflo ?

Flextec CDX66 Trout Fly Fishing Rod 11ft 4-piece #7/8 are selling on Ebay for £20+PP what gives ? Says RRP £299 another Airflo I'm guessing with their balance reel RRP £199 your for £49 I see Airflo are selling their MT and DELTA XT rods for £29.99, can't be bad for a beginner or can it ? In fact most of Flextec rods are selling for twenty odd quid on Ebay by TackleBargins, I might get on for the salt side of things

Default Airflo

I would pay £30 for an Airflo rod..........my first fly rod in the UK was the Classic and I thought it a decent rod.

Indeed, in todays market, I think there is nary a bad rod for the money spent.

Mind you, i dont think much of my Brother-in-Laws Cortland rod and he wont let me replace the darned thing

Thumbs up

where are the AIRFLO MT and DELTA rods for sale for £29.99 ?!?

Ive used delta mt and 40plus rods for numerous years and never had any problems and for value for money they cant be beaten IMO.
Also most threads ive read on the flextecs have been very good.

The Airflo rods will be OK if they do not have memory like their lines.

you are getting what you pay for twenty quids worth of kit! in my opinion the balance reel was the worst ever made and i have seen too many airflo rods shatter to trust them. lots of better bargins out there at the moment a r/t v 12 can be picked up for a song a far better budget buy..well worth the price

i read a lot of bad reports about airflo rods ok they might not be my cup of tea but for £30 a rod with a lifetime guarantee sounds a good bargain to me
