Have ordered one myself. From speaking to conoflex they are basically a 13ft more powerful version of a flattie fanatic. Twill make a good scratching and estuary rod. hope that helps mate.

why not look at the conoflex Foo Fighter, seen one in foyle angling centre a spin off of belfast angling centre they are incredibly light i say a fixed spool and braid would be a perfect accompniament with it.

Just spoke to Conoflex and they said the strikezone is ultimately the 14ft version of the source. The modified the butt and mid section so not to loose the action that the source has when an extra foot was added.

Will certainly look at the foo fighter 8)

I believe the Frenzy is as the Estuary Match but with equal sections rather than a longer tip section. Lovely rods.
