Have you tried Felindre Mike? They helped me out a couple of times for parts and a handle

I’ll continue to subscribe even though I’ve seen everything at least twice…IMO if the money goes toward developing more quality content I’m happy to support it - best fishing video content out there by a long way

Already in the fields in the Ouse valley…I was expecting it to come up some but not this much/this quick so I got that wrong 🤷‍♂️

About time, and plenty coming down tomorrow. The Ouse valley had a flood warning for weekend….and still very mild out, surely gonna be some big girls coming out - anyone braving the weather and venturing out?

Superb hair in tight conditions, I tend to just hook 2 or 3 through the saddle on a large hook, then nip the tail ends off and hook those too - lovely scent trail. Key IMO is not to keep them stationary for too long, twitch them every couple of minutes to trundle them downstream a bit. The takes...

Pm sent yeah agree lovely rod…new one is still in planning but thinking 11ft Avon with two tips, one solid tip 1.25Ib and one with spliced quiver but every time I chat it over with someone the spec changes slightly! Basically I have too many chub rods and want to create one dedicated tool to...

Gotta admit I’m loathe to let it go but it’s an extravagance I can forego if it helps fund a new rod

I bought this early summer from Rob Francis on here, only used twice since getting it. It’s a lovely action rod and perfect for touch legering, only reason I’ve decided to part with it is I’m trying to fund a bespoke Mark Tunley Chub rod. I paired it with a Youngs river specialist pin (most...
