You might have had them 21 years - "Free Spirit Fishing began in 1999". :smile:

Yes quality does last, but jeez they can be damn heavy.
My pair of P2s weigh less than just one of my previous Hornsea 10footers.

Thx I have a couple of first gen Free Spirit 12ft 3lbs and still look good but are a tad heavy. The quality lasts mantra is very true as I have a couple of reels and other odds n sods that at the time cost loads but have lasted the course.
