I've used korum rods the 1.75LB since 2017 a bought them after having a major opp got back into fishing instead of working dogs as much in the winter. I had the fox barbel rods before them. A bought them for 70 quid for two fox rods from a lad in Doncaster. When I went to meet him his mother opened door at there home. And a told her what I'm there for. Lol. She says don't get me started on this him buying & selling his fishing gear was Christmas time too. When a met him at 6 o'clock on Friday. After buying them he got in motor with his mate & f****d off out , leaving me & are lass with his mother chatting. A knew straight away he was off out to buy some more sniff he was charged when he came through door shit round his nose . His mother said he's comes from local boozer back up home to meet me then gone back down there. After meeting him a went to otherside of Doncaster to meet another lad for three shimano bait runners the old skool reels 100 quid for the three which a thought was a bargain. A gave all my gear to my son when a got into breeding goldfinches. Because a didn't have time to go fishing. It's a full time job breeding birds. And making sure you don't get many fatalities. I'm home each dinner from work to check up on them. Back to fishing these korum reels seem well put together nice and smooth. Quote Link to post
