Seems pretty good going to me
How are you measuring it?
Is there a system other than going out into a field to measure or are you using Ken's method and guesstimating?

I've got 9' and 13' rods. I'm dumping the 12's and have just purchased some 11'ers.
Even numbers are like, so square maaaaan, so,er,like yesterday dude.

I can cast 140yds with the scope...
And I've got a 12" dick but my missus reckon it's a lot less!

I'm maxing out about 115 with my 9 footers but I don't do much long distance stuff so I'm sure with practice I could get a little more out. Has anyone else found they cast better with lighter leds? I.e. 2.5oz-3oz? Mine are the 3.5lb scopes but I find I can't generate enough speed with a 4oz to reach full potential. Could just b a confidence thing. As I said I don't do a lot of distance fishing and I do worry that giving it a wack with a big lead will end up with a broken rod!! 😂😂

Indeed, I too was shocked, hitting over 130yds on the first cast with one.

Not seen a single person using the scopes yet Hants Berks areas is it just a regional fad ?

140 yards with 10ft rods, really? I think I need casting lesions as I don't think I could get 140 yards with my 12fts and a bait boat!

I wonder what the longest Rods people have used to fish for carp with? Anyone heard of anyone using Rods over 13ft?

I use 9ft Dymags for all my fishing now- just ordered a second set in the 2.75tc.
Is it because of marketing hype? No, I use them because I enjoy catching fish with them. Just like anyone should with any fishing rod they buy, whether that be 9/10/11/12 or 13ft.
I still find it odd that people want to fish with 3 and 3/4 tc rods!
