    Shakespeare 15' B1 Specailist float rod

    I dipped in again and ordered a solitude tip rod to go with the concept, better spec than the concept apparently, not sure of difference though.

    Particle baits.

    If you are lucky enough to fish rivers where barbel shoal then I reckon pulses would be a cheaper and healthier alternative if prepared properly. My venues now are pretty barren with barbel and the seed approach would be fine for the chub bream etc. Personally I don't see a haired bean...

    Shakespeare 15' B1 Specailist float rod

    The Superteam light feeder looks a very useful rod. It is 45g casting weight with lines to 6lb, but the video blurb says can go heavier esp with braid. A 2oz lead or feeder would be fine, a good chubber? The light tip is the nearest to a light bomb rod that are rare now, ideal for smaller...

    Shakespeare 15' B1 Specailist float rod

    Two rods arrived today, just about unharmed by Evri despite packaging damaged. But excellent looking rods and should be a joy to use for smaller species.

    Shakespeare 15' B1 Specailist float rod

    I bought thanks to your heads up a couple of light quiver rods I shall probably never use to go with all the others.😄 But seriously the perfect tool for a small bomb or feeder link. Thanks.

    What luggage bag for roaving with a float rod?

    Just bought a Ultimate rucksack as the mice ruined my rather too large current bag. For just under £30 delivered its reasonable and well made. I try a variety of things to make life easier buckets, waist pouches, rucksacks, vests all have their uses and I reckon the most useful is the waist...

    Fishing the River Teme.

    Probably not if you are focusing solely on Barbel, but the Teme has so much more to offer than merely Barbel. Very unique river and I have to reacquaint myself with her again. I recall a certain swim that gave up four Barbel in quick order, and the following week four I lost to hook...

    Super float rod

    There was one sold for £50. With it being a spliced tip it would be a keeper for me. COYR 😄

    Old Daiwa powermesh twin tip

    This forum is in no danger of folding due to lack of input. Others may, there is a perfectly respectful attitude to members on here and if anyone gets a little above themselves they are knocked back. There was a time when BFW was infiltrated by some who wanted BFW to fold by flooding the forum...

    Shimano Biomaster 2500 RA reels, a pair NOW SOLD TO MEMBER

    I have a couple of 2500 supers, lovely little reels, does the drag mechanism differ to the bio? Or is it just another refresh on the models.

    Drennan super specialist

    Fear not.....positive it didn't have one factory fitted. IF you don't want it be happy to trade or buy. ;)

    Drennan super specialist

    Does it have a screw tip? If so that is quite a strange thing on a fairly modern rod. Daiwa did the same on the Powermesh Avons and it was not great.

    Drennan super specialist

    I have the 1.75. Actually never used it, bought it from a closing down tackle shop for £70 half retail price. The blank is quite chunky but with it being Drennan it's quality. Your 1.25 is a rod I would rather prefer. The rod is c.2012.
