Don’t understand this fashion for retractable rods, most carp anglers I see have vans, 4x4s or estate cars? I even used to carry 12ft carp rods and all the gear for a 3 night session in my old Golf GTI back in the 90’s.

The retractable blanks are called Telos . There is one available at the moment as said 10ft 3 1/4 t.c. The others are still being tested and will be available early next year . Im not a fan of retractables but have some blanks arriving next week i wont be building anything until next year due to the house move and all the work im doing on it . The factory rods i believe will be around £300 mark

No but they’re based on a torrix blank.

Hi Guys,
For those who have Chiltern rods in 3.5 tc how do you find the action? Also any preferences of what fittings you went for?
Cheers!

Don’t think the handles are any shorter on the Propels.
If you look at the length of the rod past the handle it shows they are the same as the scopes.
You are right alot of other rods have a longer section above the reel seat making the handles shorter.
Not so on the Propels

Another for the Chiltern rods, lovely blanks, great finish and excellent service.
I was really keen on the Propel R's but the only thing that put me off, (as with some other retractable rods) was the short handle length. Scopes don't have this issue and the Chiltern's are custom so you can have the handle pretty much wherever.

Propels arrived.
Not used as yet of course but they are very nicely finished and very light. Ringing is nice and impressed.
Will report once used…..
Might have my custom CR spectra’s for sale 😉
