i think they were a mid priced, all round rod, perhaps best to stick to the better known conoflex rods, perhaps a little more expensive, but worth it.

greys supro is for clean / mixed ground, and is 13ft plus reducer. bit cheaper than most conoflexes as well
have one myself and can recommend it, but have a look around at a few rods and try as many as you can before you buy.
