Yes, the ctx sl comes with 0.25 glass tip, could be a nice alternative to drennan rod as it is very hard to find (I spent two years to find a good condition one)

have you looked at the free spirit one? I am not saying it’s better than drennan mini feeder rod, just an option for you to consider

Hope you will have it sorted soon as well. The solitude is a lovely rod to use.

My exchange arrived yesterday, no damage to the rod this time. Just drop HoF an email with your order number, item number and a photo of damaged rod, they will send you a new one.

The action of the blank, 6 plus tip is more like a carp rod/high tc rod thing. For through action rod, there are more rings. Think about how rod bends and the line between the rings, you want the line through the ring form the shape as the rod, so the force can be distributed correctly, last...

Big shout for HoF, really is hassle free exchange. I just hope the new one will arrive in one piece. But, after further investigation, this may not the evri’s problem? As in the picture, the insert of the ring is missing, if this happened during the shipping, the insert should be in the rod...

This is the ring on the butt section, three legs seaguide guide, I am wondering what kind of force can make this happen and, I also assume the blank may have some internal damage that I can’t see?

Well, if it is free exchange, why not?

Rod arrived today, OMG, no protection tube, just wrapped by thin plastic bag, and a ring is heavily twisted and missing the insert...apart from this the rod is nice...need to arrange an replacement now.

the drennan rod is very nice as Neil said, it has more power than you think. I did drug a 7lb chub out of snagg with it last winter. I’ve been looking for the cadence wand rod for a year now, no luck so far. Another choice would be old sharkspeare 1880 wand rod. Also Freespirit ctx feeder lite...

The drennan one comes with spliced carbon tips, 0.75oz and 1oz, the 0.75 is ok for the job. And same as you I prefer glass tip for this kind of work. The rod I bought is 5g casting weight with a glass tip, so I don’t use feeder as the lightest one I can find is too heavy for the rod, I use 5g...

Hi, Rob, I was in the same position last year, looking for both feeder and float rod for gudgeon, the drennan ultralight is one I am using for feeder fishing, but I found it still heavy for gudgeon, what I ended up with is I imported a little micro fishing lure rod, a perfect tool for the...

The solitude rods are decent, I tried the Avon version when it first out, didn’t buy it because I have far too many Avons😂, the light quiver is the one I want for roach, chub etc in small streams. I mean, no one can say no to the sexy green blanks.

Ray Walton did mention you can use pre stretched mono to avoid twist. But I never tried that so not sure if it is true. And if possible, use Wallis cast, it much better than side casting pin. I now only use my ray Walton pin as a normal pin. Another casting method, I don’t recommend it but...

The light quiver is the rod I want for a while, no reason to not have it now. And thank god I didn’t buy the Korum quiver rod (a nice rod, but skp is better, especially at this price)
