CarpeDiem Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 I would just like to say thank you very much Ian for the awesome gift of a Saxon Hexalite 2.75lb 12' rod as ways of the new members drive that you sponsored. The rod itself is a thing of true beauty & i would advise anyone who is after a quality rod to purchase one of these rods. I Will be buying a second rod to complete a set up. Can't wait to try it out & to start catching fish upon this rod. Thanks a million, Dave. Quote
Tribal Carper Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Lucky a$$ , better bring it to "WINTERFEST" for the rest of us Ohio guys to see in person. Edited January 11, 2013 by Tribal Carper Quote

(OH) Vinsanity Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Congrats Dave! I've always wanted to see one of these rods in person so I could see what my next pair of rods would look like before I bought them. Quote
Brendan Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 saxon is awesome, i just ordered two rods, am planning on saving up to get a third soon. Quote
Mr Big Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Ian is a straight up guy. He not only does it but lives it. Quote
Tribal Carper Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Well finally saw a Saxon rod in person today thanks to Dave.....I must say that is one SWEET rod , which of course means I will have to buy a set (of three) this season for sure. Very impressive Iain ........VERY impressive indeed , my hats of to you mate !!!! Quote
Bill Stoltz Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Ditto what tribal said....that is a bada$$ rod Quote
Savayman Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Awwww shucks guys thanks for the kind words I'm blushing! Developing a carp rod has certainly been a fascinating & rewarding experience, especially taking on quite a different direction from the current Euro style fashion for faster taper rods. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we've received on the Saxon hexalites durability and ability to handle the amazingly powerful carp that we find over here (without pulling hooks etc) has made it well worth all the effort. We've now started to find a growing market in Europe where anglers are finding that many of the casting sticks simply cannot handle the not so tame carp - especially outside the usual 'stock' pond environment. More interesting is the fact they are choosing the lighter test curve rods compared to North America. Once again thanks for the kind words and to the many of you who have chosen our rods. Tight Lines for 2013 and beyond! Quote
tmostello Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I own 3 of the 3.25s and they are excellent rods! Quote

Very impressive Iain ........VERY impressive indeed , my hats of to you mate !!!! Yeppers! got to show off my new piece of kit to 22 of Ohio's finest @ Larry Kinsler's "WINTERFEST" on Saturday & the response was a truly positive one. I cannot wait to try this rod out (as soon as the damn ice breaks) & look forward to buying another to complete my NEW set up. Thanks again to Iain for making this happen. Quote
baitbucket Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I have the 3.5's and they are great rods and i would happily buy the 2.5's for when i want to use lighter rods. Quote
Tribal Carper Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Hey Iain , Ever thought about making a Saxon Spod rod in 4.5 - 5.5 TC to match the carp rods ? Sure would be a great addition to have a matching set of kit...plus I bet you would design a spod to cover all our needs for spods casted with maise to pouches for casting method balls. Just a thought. Quote
