Those 3 rods I listed were being offered at a heavily reduced price (obviously on clearance) and my opportunity of getting myself higher end fishing gear that I have always wanted and always out of my reach. Whenever online retailers offer layby facilities like the complete angler did with my prevail I definitely jump at the opportunity. hopefully I am rained off again tomorrow so I can go and look at the local shops as soon as work lets me head off for the day.
