Hi guys, last year a very good fishing mate gave me a mint Kilwell QT6 one piece 14 foot rod. He didn't use it due to the problems of transporting a one piece rod and he bought an Abu nano 3-piece job. Been a few years since I have been following the new gear scene so I emailed Kilwell to ask them the background of the QT6 rods(I couldn't see them listed on their web page)...no information forthcoming from Kilwell so anyone here know much about them? what year were they made and are they related to the Powerplay current series?? Thanks in advance, pete

I have have got two QT6 one piece rods owned them for the past 7 years. Very good casting and good for pulling in fish.I have replaced them now with Any Fish Any Where rods. Time for a change. Not sure when the QT6 frist arrived in the sport shops.

Thanks Kev, I was surprised that Kilwell did not give me any information. Maybe the new boys there don't have the knowledge?

QT6 is a bit softer than the 222. Bends nicely when playing a fish. Whereas the 222 is very stiff and can get better distance, but not as nice when playing smaller fish.

Thanks Racepics, appreciate the info, of course I aspire to own a 222 as well, hopefully by the end of the year, need to sell some surplus gear !!!
