working in a tackle shop i get to see a lot of new gear before it actually comes out. and the new rods that i have just seen from preston innovations are superb. there is a new barbel rod with two tips a 12foot 6 float rod a 11 6"-13ft stillwater feeder rod with 3 full tip sections an 11 6" medium feeder rod which also has 3 full tip sections which are a real delight and not that expensive for what they are they are all carbon active.they have also got a new korum range of rods for round the 80 quid mark. if anyone is in the market for a new rod then hold fire and have a look at any of these rods i havent seen anything better and i think you will be disapointed
