A seven-piece model with no flat spots. Still the performance of a two-piece. Still with Greys trademark stunning cosmetics and finish.

Lock it in a small car cubby hole. Pack it in a briefcase for a business trip. Pop it in a rucksack and head for the hills. On a big trip, take it as a back-up – though it may be your number one choice before long. And if you are headed for a coral beach then slip the 9ft #8 weight in with the T-shirts. It’s totally saltwater-proof of course.

For the serious traveller there’s a complete travel outfit. A smart cordura case containing 7 piece rod, G-Lite reel and a Platinum X floating line. Partitions inside adapt to hold fly boxes, leader materials, everything you might need. And by the way, the case is highly water resistant and even the carrying strap doubles up as a wading belt.
