I'm not sure whether it's the same rod as you have Dave but Ian (DingleCodCatcher) bought a Blackrock lure rod and it appeared to be identical to my Teklon Concept Spin other than the guides. I paid a penny short of £100 for the Teklon, Ian paid less than £60 for the Blackrock.
Graham as you know there good bang for the buck. I've given the one I have a right hard time and it keeps on ticking. It's the action of it that impresses me as I've rods 2-3 times the price that don't feel as good to use. It's just to make people aware to check them out if there in the market for a new lure rod. I'm off to Kinsale in Ireland with work on Monday for a week or two and it's defo coming with me..
