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?

Best

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!
