  None of my loacl shops have one in stock, so have any of you had a look at this rod?
  
  Is the action softer than the older 11ft Carbonactive?

  That is what I have heard from another guy I know, sounds perfect. I use the original for proper waggler fishing quite a lot, recently I had 117lb of skimmers and tench in a match using it, but sometimes would like something a bit softer in action so I can scale down a bit.
  
  Ive just ordered one from my local shop!

  I will stick up a post on what I think of the rod when I get my hands on it to try.
  
  I was never a fan of any Preston rods until I got hold of a 11ft Carbonactive as they used to call them when they first appeared in 2006, I’ve caught thousands of pounds of carp on the two rods I have and they are still as good as the day I brought them.

  I picked up the rod today and it looks and fees superb. Exactly the same action as the old 11ft rod but a little bit softer and lighter.
  
  Will be out tommorow tench and skimmer bashing with the wag to try it out!

  Nn tench, but caught plety of bream/skimmers to 3lb on the rod today on the wag and pellet and I must say it is great! Perfect for venues less than 7ft deep at ranges up to about 25-30 meters. ~clap
