Indeed Andy, a friend is in the process of purchasing the FLC 81 EXT. Waiting in anticipation as to how it will cast as all the feedback so far is positive.

I have looked long and hard but it seems this is not a matter they consider significant. I am guessing they are heavier than your equivalent carpenter or ripple fisher offerings. It would be good to get this info as they sure look like they have beautifull actions. If you want to see some rods at the lighter end of the spectrum look at the newest FCL Labo offerings.

Can anybody tell me where I can buy a fisherman rod.

I live in the Netherlands

Sachin Chaudhry:
I think Fisherman seem to have become "stagnant" because if you have a top quality product you do not need to keep upgrading. The Carpenter range also can be described as such. The original WV and SP series did duty for a hell of a long time. Smith KD and Tokara the same. At that level they are all tremendous rods

Ralph Holland:
has anybody experience with buying fisherman rods at Guigomarine in France?
