I do use one but i won’t sell it, however you may be better looking for a original drennan im8 bomb rod (less rare). They are just as soft being a traditional bomb rod well before they were designed to stop a twenty in it’s tracks. Both rods came with whole top sections and are super soft which is great until it’s a beast under your feet. I’ve had carp to about 8lb and can throw a med feeder about 40yards max using the heavier top. I prefer to run braid through it as it feels better when striking and playing a fish, imo. I’ve used mine for bream mostly but they would be great for med sized f1’s. Be very aware of ‘shortened tips’ as this is a common problem amonst the heavy handed anglers. Give shimano a ring direct. you never no. good luck.
