There are a handful of companies that produce genuinely top-end rods, and Free Spirit is definitely one of them. The Hi-S is widely admired and is regarded as one of the very best rods on the market. I’ve used variations for a long time, but last year acquired some 12ft 6in 3. 25lb versions for testing – a combination that has long been my favoured all-round choice.
