Nielsen Powerflex 7 pc. 8 foot #4 Quality Travel Rod
I?m offering this rod for auction to aid the River Don Charitable Trust.
The Wild Fishing Forum Is the Only Forum That Supports The River Don Trust By Fund-raising Activity
It?s marked as a #5, but believe me if you can cast at all it?s a #4. I have had this rod for 2 years and used it twice. It is in new condition.
Why am I offering it?
Simply because I have so many bloody fly rods I can?t use them all, it is ridiculous. This is a very nice rod, too good to lie in the garage; far better someone gets the use of it.
Mid to tip action ? it is marked ?fast action? ? well it?s no Sage TCR, but it is reasonably fast. It is easy to load, so good for all levels of casting ability. I was casting with it this morning to check it?s OK and was forming some nice tight loops with the #4 line.
As I mentioned above although marked #5, to me it?s a #4, so
I?ll also throw in a brand new, unused Pitsford Pirate DT#4 Ivory Floater. Top quality line ? supple - no memory.

The rod is 7pc and packs down to about 18 inches in its own hard tube. Perfect for tucking away out of sight in your rucksack away from prying eyes. :8)
Good quality cork handle and attractive hardwood reel seat insert
A great small river / burn rod and ideal for backpacking trips to remote hill lochs.
This is a great chance to get hold of a nice travel rod, they don?t come up that often!
Bids to start at ?60 please ? an absolute steal for a great wee rod and a matching high quality line. Minimum bid increment ?5 please.
I?ll pay the shipping costs. (UK only)
Bids to close next weekend. Payment can be by cheque or paypal, either way the full amount will be passed onto the River Don Trust.
This is an ideal rod and line combo for our type of fishing, so please bid generously. Thanks. :D

good man Andy - thanks
Go on then ?65. Looks a good smuggling rod for walks with the missus!
Thanks Richard
Been a while since I been on Fred (got a few belated reports to chuck on over the next few days, too) but I'll weigh in with ?70. I have a bit of a "project" :wink: in mind for next year and that rod will fit the bill nicely.
Full retail price of the rod was over ?200 I think (no I didn't pay that) and these lines are as good as you'll get for < ?50 ................ come on guys it's a bargain and the Don troots are starving. :lol:
