Has anyone tried one of these in a 10' #3 configuration?

nicer still are the Maxia (Spain) range for these types of rods.  
(and much cheaper)

Could you describe the action and stiffness at all Marc or better still do you have or know of any CCS data?  I would be using it mainly for bandies in wild lochs with an SLX and maybe a bit of g*% nymphing stuff (with a fly line)

Hi Hamish

They are the ones making the blanks for that hot potato thing 

Didn't know they had a 18 footer though... Might have a chat with Alejandro

what's this thingy then ? 

[Marc Fauvet]

Ben, sorry mate, no tech for you. they're just awesome that's all. you'd need to get in touch with Alejandro Vinuales for numbers. he doesn't speak eeengleeesh so maybe Mike can help you.

That's the Union Jack Marc the flag of the United Kingdom. If it were an English flag it would be.... how shall I put this...... less colourful and considerably simpler
However there's no denying that it is the flag that is frequently (if not always) used to represent an English language option on many websites.

A Magnus review with data on the Maxia Ben...

Has all the figures you want I believe.

Union Jack or Union Flag?



Oh well back to the painting!

Strictly speaking its the Union Flag, Jack should really be used in a Naval context 

Originally comprising of the English and Scotish flags, Ireland was added in 1801 which became Northern Ireland in 1921. Poor Wales don't get a look in as they are a Principality and not a Kingdom.

okidoke, gotcha.  (us foreigners prefer to be not too picky about such intricate and intimate issues… )

Ben, that review from Magnus A. must be pretty old or of an obsolete rod. Maxia has been in Spain for a few years now and the rod line and rod designer has changed. (for the much-much better)

Nope, its the 10' 4" Maxia MX which is a current rod listed on the website. The blank specs are correct,
