Product arrived in good time...perfectly packaged as is the norm from Cadence. Was thrilled with the quality, action & power in the blank. Very subtle difference from #2 and #1 which i have used to great success for a several years now....game changer when hanging on to grayling / dace and the likes on light hooklengths in medium / heavy flowing rivers...Tremendous value for money...many thanks.
Wow what fantastic rod I bought from you guys its perfect just what I’ve been looking for. what made me buy this rod was after watching my friend catch some cracking fish little did I no at the time it was one off your rods he was using I said to him that rods got a lovely action mate yeah he said it’s my new rod cadence CR10 14ft#4 I
Said to him I’m getting one mate. And now I've got one I can’t wait to try it on the magical wye next week fingers crossed I can winkle out a barbel or chub or two
Having used the 13ft number 1 for many years for stick and waggler on the Warwickshire Avon. I wanted a little more length and finesse. The 14ft #0 fits that bill to a tee.
The same beautiful build quality of the other CR10 rods I have and the extra length I needed and finesse.
Its a dream to use with light stick and waggler at distance. Line control and pickup are sublime and no worries about using small hooks and light lines.
Considered the 14ft #1 CR10 alongside two other rods. Technical query re rod balance set up was quickly addressed by Cadence and the rod bought. I haven’t used it yet but initial thoughts are very happy - great customer service, very quick delivery and rod itself looks stunning quality. Thank you
Recently acquired the 14ft - No 4 Match rod which amongst other applications, is very effective for big fish in big rivers on the float, beautifully made, and good value.
Many thanks to Leigh Harrison for his role in developing the rod and his highly valued local advice and support.
Very much looking forward to more river float fishing again, which i used to do a lot of as a youngster in Hampshire, some 50 years ago now..
My 14ft CR10 #4 arrived a few days back and I am delighted with the finish and quality of the rod components. I will be spending another summer on the Trent pursuing barbel on the float and when that time comes I will add to this review or submit a new one. In common with my other Cadence purchases, I am sure I will not be disappointed
I haven’t used the rod as yet, the rod is built to good quality and has without doubt reserves of power capable of subduing large fish . I look forward to dropping river levels so that I may test its capabilities.
14ft #0 quite simply superb, James put me on to this rod a the recent Woodlands Thirsk open evening knowing of my long term love of Normark float rods !
This rod is as close as I’ve ever used to the action of the original Microlight 14ft rod ( RNMM-168-3 ) with a modern day twist using screw down reel seats Fuji ring guides and a bit grunt in the bottom end, this rod would have excelled back in the day and it will hold its own today it’s absolutely stunning
14ft#0 Been using this rod Since I got it in July this year, my go to float rod when fishing Small Wagglers and the Stick Float, superb rod for this type of work, and targeting snall fish, but will comfortably handle Bonus fish such as Chub to over 4lb, fantastic rod very light and very crisp
Ordered the cs10 14 ft no 2 + cs10 4000 reel and a spare pole section 10am Tuesday. arrived Wednesday 3pm amazing service and a fantastic rod and reel. well done cadence team
Bought a 14 FT No. 1 to fish a silvers only water and maybe a bit of river fishing. Stunning really. Sublime roach rod with a soft progressive action, a rod that will connect with delicated bites with the softest strike, it will punch a float out and pick up line so crisply, the middle and butt having a satisfying amount of power. This rod will not fold under suprise fish. Bought a new rod because my venerable 'connoisseur' had a tendency to 'lock' under pressure, these days fish being on average larger than times past. A speculative purchase has become a revelatory one. Times have certainly moved on. The fit and finish of this rod stand on a height with the 'Con' and that is a compliment. I am impressed with the endeveaor and care taken to gift this rod with the amount of rings to soften and refine the action, a full 16 Fuji guides gives a silk like caress on the strike and a smooth curve under pressure. The finish is faultless, I have been so impressed I bought a 12 foot No.2 plus two CS10 reels. This rod is balanced with the 4000 size to my taste. I have fished with this for a year now and owned many rods over forty years an angler, it is beautiful.
I recently purchased a 14ft #2, I absolutely love the rod. Will cover most of the stickfloat and waggler needs I'm likely to require. Equally at home fishing for silvers and the bigger and stronger surprises that we encounter on our rivers and stillwaters.
I just wish I'd got hold of one earlier. Highly recommended ?
I recently purchased the 14ft #2 for general stickfloat and waggler fishing. The rod is amazing and is equally happy dealing with larger surprises amongst the bigger and stronger fish. Love it and wish I'd purchased one earlier.
I absolutely love my 14ft #3 for heavy duty float work for tench, barbel and mullet. I can hold it all day and yet it has the power to stop big strong fish in challenging situations. Best power float rod on the market in my view.
Bought the 14' 2# the other week. Today was the first time I was able to get out and use it. So got to Swale and got my chest waders on and set of for a roving session with 3 pints of red maggots. Had set my self up with stick float, 4B.S line straight through on my pin.
First trot a small grayling followed a couple of dace around 8oz this carried on for 45 mins before the peg died, so got my gear together and slipped into another peg 100 yards down stream, carefully waded to mid river to ( on the cool side) feed a dozen maggots, third trot a nice 3lb chub followed by brownie and then a couple more chub.
What a lovely rod, this rod will be go to rod for the river. Preformed perfectly Wallis casting with pin.
Bought my 14’ #3 end of September unfortunately arrived broken (courier fault) was in touch straight away with photos they sent me a replacement the same day and arrived in perfect condition 2 days later which was very reassuring
Very pleased with my rod I use a centre pin and love it I only fish waggler and found it very responsive to silvers small and large
I find the 14#2 to be a brilliant all round float rod. A dabbled with the #1 but it offered more finesse than I needed.
I fish bigger rivers like the Trent mainly, so am fishing bigger floats, longer range and longer trots than I might, on say rivers like the Warks Avon. The #2 gives me the crisp line pickup I want, yet I just don't seem to bump fish. Even those big, jagging winter roach stay on the hook. It also has plenty of backup power to lean into bigger fish with no hint of locking up.
When I do scale things down to delicate fishing the #2 still does a brilliant job.
Fabulous rod, was seriously tempted by the fabled 'Acolyte', but James sorted me out a stunning #2 14ft, easily handles tiny bleak and gudgeon, to taming mighty 5lb Chub on the middle Severn with such ease, i'm getting another, and so is my mate...
My mate & I wanted a rod that would be as useful catching silvers and odd chub from the upper Witham or F1s and small carp from my club lakes during the winter. We talked about the pros' and cons' of the 14'#1 and the 14'#2 and both decided to buy the #1. I can honestly say it has performed superbly, whether with a stick on the Witham for roach and Chub (and odd brownie) or with the waggler on my club lakes for big F1s and odd carp to 5lb. We both agree that it is one of the best rods for the price that either of us has handled and would recommend it without hesitation.
My go to, all around float fishing rod is the 14ft#2, which is great for small fish as well as expected larger fish.
I'd have no hesitation at all in recommending this as a brilliant rod for covering 90% of your float fishing needs.
However, the rod I've fell in love with is the 14ft#1!
It's superb for catching silvers and can cope easily if you are lucky enough to hook that bonus fish in a session.
I've used it more and more as the weather has got colder, and I've had to fish finer, and I can honestly say it has never let me down once.
I've had chub to 4lb, barbel to 5lb, bream to 4lb and carp to 6lb all on this rod.
It is an absolutely fantastic piece of kit to play fish on and generally fish with, with excellent line pick up as well.
Fishing the waggler or stick, it's a real gem!
So good, I own two of them, and for the money they're an absolute steal!
