, but now you have me thinking "do i need a Vector LA, hmmm. 
Yes got it from breakaway, the fitting are completely sh¥t , need to spend £30-40 on it make it look good, needs shrink rap and a movable reel seat , been down the beach with it earlier and it casts beautifully nice rod , the blank isn’t varnished but I’m happy with itNice one Mike, so good to see you in better health, and your lovely wife getting better each day mate. Get back on that beach with a great new rod as well, did you get the LA from Breakaway Mike, think they are the main dealers are they not, or did you source it somewhere else. ?
Is what Pete said about them true, finish and fittings not the best, but a great blank ?. I must resist buying one though...

14 foot , very light , picks up a 5oz lead really sweet, just a massive shame about the fittings , so I’ll have a look on russ’s web site for shrink tube and movable reel seat , now what colour shrink tube
If it were me Mike, i would have bought the blank and had it built to my specs..14 foot , very light , picks up a 5oz lead really sweet, just a massive shame about the fittings , so I’ll have a look on russ’s web site for shrink tube and movable reel seat , now what colour shrink tube
It did cross my mind, a LA passed though my hands a few years ago and that one had shrink tube a a reel seat fitted so I thought this would be the same silly me. ,, and no only one rod i need I’m not going to get another matching one been there before ended up having a shed full of em and in the loft , this time just one to match up with my conoflex and I’m happyIf it were me Mike, i would have bought the blank and had it built to my specs..
Noooo, i don't need another rod.

So Mike, a rod that costs £540 doesn't come with shrink tube or reel seat fitted, feck me...It did cross my mind, a LA passed though my hands a few years ago and that one had shrink tube a a reel seat fitted so I thought this would be the same silly me. ,, and no only one rod i need I’m not going to get another matching one been there before ended up having a shed full of em and in the loft , this time just one to match up with my conoflex and I’m happy
Certainly be interested in a couple mate. What is the slot size? I'm hoping they'll fit the Mk 1 535s....
now i can spool the casting specials up, just the paddle handles to come now. 
Good choice mike have had mine four years, we all have a pair and love them. The best five oz rod ever made in our opinionsIt did cross my mind, a LA passed though my hands a few years ago and that one had shrink tube a a reel seat fitted so I thought this would be the same silly me. ,, and no only one rod i need I’m not going to get another matching one been there before ended up having a shed full of em and in the loft , this time just one to match up with my conoflex and I’m happy
They are out of production now.... But without any shadow of a doubt us oldies can keep up with the spring chickens using them.I don't have a pair Pete..

Ian I spent a whole day searching the internet for them , the only other. Place is in France , so it looks like breakaway , very quick delivery from them , iv put new shrink and sliding reel seat on mine and it smartens it up a treat , will be out with it Monday or Tuesday
The LA stands for Lee Adams who developed it with Italcanna, unfortunately he passed away last year.
Yes if i remember rightly, there is a couple of pics of him on the Breakaway site, holding an LA.
