Moreton Angling Centre, I'm sure they will have something to suit and you'll get a good deal.

If your really lucky you might get a hob nob... used to be chocolate ones but there's a credit crunch on dont ya now :)

Cheers

If you have got 250 to spend mate you can do a lot better than a Greys Triplex. Have a look at the Anyfish Anywhere range, superb rods and very competively priced. ;)

They do seem to of gotten themselves a less than perfect reputation since the manufacturing move to china though. Do you think its an unfair one?
Make a difference - take home 1 piece of someone's angling litter next time you are out fishing.

Where do you think most of the carbon cloth used for "british made rods" comes from. china and the far east. A lot of carbon is being used in the defence industry at the moment hence the high price of rods. Demand outstripping supply

Got a pair of triplex and an anyfish match, great rods Good to a have a choice for different conditions. Triplex very versatile but not good in wind or snaggy ground, anyfish match great allrounder :)

Not to sure on the Greys Triplex. To long for the local stuff. Also the the tip is not stiff enough on a good run.
In my opinion, fishing the Mersey is not like fishing a calm beach.
Basically, you are fishing over rough ground. ( that doesn't mean Jagged rocks and a snaggy ground). The tide pull has the same effect.
Get something up to 8oz casting capability. Good for the tide run and holding bottom.
Don't like the anyfish/anywhere, Yeh! Might use use them for Tarpon of the Azours :lol: Like is says, Anyfish/anywhere, sounds great to anyone who thinks this is a multi purpose rod.
Personally I do like the Greys, Especially the Apollo Mk2 for the Mersey.
And am now thinking about the Mk3 6oz for using in Wales with much less of a run. Might even help me achieve my 80yrd goal. ;)
Sea fishermen are born honest. But they soon get over it.
