I've recently used ebay to buy a few items from an ebay seller in the US who goes by the handle of steelhead56 and I've found him to be excellent. For example, I've bought a couple of blanks - 7ft, 4wt - £25.58 and a 9ft, 4 piece, 8wt - £34.29 (next years saltwater fly rod!) from him and they are quality products - Rainforest series made by Pacific Bay in the US. I'm not a great one for making recommendations because I'd hate for someone to have a bad experience but suffice to say that of his 1121 feedbacks 99.7% are positive! Here's a couple of things he got on offer at the moment - first a 10ft, 8wt, Sage XP. £326.25, Postage free anywhere on the planet and throw in a free Rio Versi tip fly line. (This rod retails at £534 in the UK) cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23819&item=7110094500&rd=1And secondly, for the DIY freaks amongst us a 4 Piece, 9ft, 7wt blank starting bid $20 (£10.89!) cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62151&item=7110724317&rd=1So, for those of you out there thinking of treating yourself this Christmas he's worth a look!

I have to agree with you Paul. I recently bought a Sage Xi2 from the same guy, £270.00 for a rod that sells for over £500 here. (Plus the rod is custom built with stacks of expensive extras) Wayne Johnston is the chap running the place. I got my rod sent out free posting and received it within 16 days. Also no tax or duty. Has to be a bargain. Check out Waynes shop. www.anglershabitat.com/Regards Mike
