Just wondered if anyone has had a hold of one of these and can recommend them, like the loko of them and wondered if anyone has tried out yet ?. Interested in the 11ft 2 piece.

not another gimmick. Its a lot easier to land carp on a short rod.Try it.Ihave short butts for all my rods and find it helps a lot.

This could be the way we are going to have to go with a lot of the carp getting bigger and ever bigger. It would be easier to land them on a running line sometimes.

that's why bivvy boys use mostly 12 foot rods. The fish come up at neting range rather than 20 feet from the bank. Same when pole fishing, if you have six sections up in the air the fish eventually pops up, RIGHT OVER THERE!!!!!!
