I’ve got the 2 x 3.25’s of the original ones and also picked up a 3.5 recently as they were being sold off cheap due to the new ones. There is hardly any difference in the tip, the extra power is further down the rod, I would expect the new ones to be similar.

Ultimate Bionic extendables also get good reviews and are apparantly the same blank that Cotswold rods use for their blanks

Thanks chaps might go for the 3.25’s just goes against everything in my head for shorter heavier rods though. Was worried about my 9 foot 2.75 scopes as they felt really pokey but had fish from 13 to 43 on them and they had a lovely action. So
might give the 3.25’s a try (although am also tempted by chiltern rods).

I had a similar dilemma in choosing between the 3lb or 3.25lb rods as I also tend to prefer lighter rods. On the recommendation of the shop I went for the 3.25lb rods.
I have had a couple of short sessions so far and the only thing to show is a coot and some extreme lumps of weed, both of which the rod handled with ease 
No regrets so far and happy with my choice of the 3.25lb test curve rods.

I don’t fish bags but I imagine so, I use 3.5oz leads & it doesn’t feel too much, would happily use a 4oz lead if there was one lying about in my bag for example

I got the 3.25s and really like them. I too prefer softer rods but they’ve got a nice feel to them.
Really happy with mine so far, had fish to 44 on them and more than up to the task

How are people getting on with these? Looking at taking a trip to Yateley in the next week or two to get a set. Just not sure on whether to get 3lb or 3.25tc. I do like softer rods which is swaying me to the 3’s but might start using pva bags more which is making me think about the 3.25’s.

There's another recent thread on here with a few people who have purchased them
I used mine for the first time yesterday, so far so good but only done one day session and a couple of smaller carp landed. I got the 3.5 and glad I did really as they don't feel overpowered or ott.

Definitely getting a set of these, not sure if to go with the 3.25 or 3.5 tc, i know on one the videos it states 3.5 be better for casting pva bags out but thinking the 3.25 will still be sufficient
