Bought one today for £6, seems a bargain. 10 x 1 metre fibreglass rods with screw connections. Fantastic for running new haliards in masts and booms as well as for cables

I cant see that on their website, is it old stock from a previous offer?

Don't think it's a current special offer - presumably old stock. They are wonderful for so many things - just wait till the next time you have a blockage in the holding tank!

Strange that, I just tried out a set of drain rods to be sure I could clear it should it block!

Ah, but drain rods are usually too thick and stiff for the plastic piping on boats - the cable mousing rods will go through without risking damage.

Yes invaluable bit of kit with a multitude of uses.

Only if your mast is 10m or less, I had to buy 2

I bought a set from them..... the ends were not crimped on to the rods very well I managed to loose about 3 rods inside a roof void but I also lost the cable which was a real pain. Check or re crimp the ends and they should be OK

Oldish stock from an offer a short while ago. My local Aldi still has some. Been on offer at least twice so sure to come again at some point.

Just bought a set in Aldi (driving through Trafford, Manchester) reduced to £3.99. There were loads there - about as far from the sea as you can get, wish that I had bought two now...

reduced to 3.99 at Stone on the A34 in staffs too.

Useful tip for access rods, if the accessory kit doesn't include a small dome that screws into the end them try to source one or make one, it prevents snagging by the plain end when shoving it up places where obstructions are present, like masts.
