I think I am older than you Graham. If anything turns black and drops off, provided its not vital, just ignore. That was my old dads advice. I follow it too. Have to confess I too am disposing of longer and stronger rods merely for ease of use. 10/11 seems easier somehow.

What rod did u land the catfish on?

Brilliant mix and variety . Well done. Something to remember with pride. I would be very happy with that!

Probably too long for you Neil ,, I have a used once, browning silverlite pro feeder. Cracking rod , new over 260£ but at 13ft , just too long for me now. If you know anyone who fancies it, its cheap and postable for 20£. Got a spare set of quivers too.

then look at a Rive R feeder. I imported one from Austria last year, an 11ft. Its has become my favourite rod already. There are some really cheap ones on line here is UK, See tackle trader. Magic blanks well worth investing in! I am trying to source a waggler now!

any daiwa with cross weave ( x 45) is nice. Free spirit are great rods but bend far too quickly for my likening.

I have a very nice guru aventus 11, float. Used twice only. Lost the bag somehow but got the tube!

Ps its 1.3/8 anyway in old money. Personally what's 1/8 th between friends

The standard Neil is 1.6, which mine is. There are some torrix going down to 1.25 but whether they fit the bill as an avon, I leave others more knowledgeable than I to say.

I still dream of a quiver section for my avon. But to be honest, I don't fish rivers, and a rive r feeder I bought from Austria last year has very quickly become my favourite rod. Looking for the waggler version now to go with it. Best wishes

Yes that's true. Endeavour to persevere! The barbel will come.

Hello Neil. Hope you are catching . I have a peregrine avon. Thats an 11x 1.6

another nice collection Rob!

Nice offering Alan. Should not take long to go.
