My Favourite rod is one of my oldest, back in mid-90's when uptiding locally was relatively new, a guy Alan Smith had a shop in my village in South Wales and had some blanks from ABU that they wanted testing for BC uptiding, he made me one up (10ft) and sold it to me at a knock down rate providing I gave some feedback. It's my first go-to uptide rod today and only recently been rewhipped for braid.
It was rumoured to be the predecessor for Sauveron , so if it was then I’d like to think I was part of the development for what turned out to be a cracking uptide rod.
