Well the Torrix blank arrived and was built with sic rings fuji DNPS stainless reel seat and a cigar duplon grip. I have only managed one trip out so far with it but it does feel rather nice. 5 inch herring and a 1.5 oz lead was not a problem. Even with a good punch the bait stayed on and out to around 50 to 60 yards with no problems. Only one Jack was caught. All of about 2lb so not much of fight. I will give it a few more trips and then report my findings on this rod. But first impressions are it may well become my main rod for piking at close to medium range.
Another rod that I have built is a Sage Xi2 9ft for a 9 line. This rod I also intend using for pike. It will be compared to my Harrison Advanced 9ft 10 weight which I sell on the website fully built for a bargain price of £180.00 both rods will be available to demo.
