I can only really compare Christian, like for like, ie 2.75 rods. I suppose the best recognised would be the free spirits I had, s class and e. I never thought they transmitted much feel. It was wham, they bent. I only had 1.75 torrixs but also good sorted 1.75 and 2,1/4. The feel the x 45...

Back in covid days total fishing tackle ran an auction on ebay. As the only bidder I won a new basia barbel 2.75 for 159.99 delivered. Used it a couple of times, far too powerful for my needs. Sold it. Sorry for long story but the blank was the dogs nuts. Always wanted a less powerful one...

wow, looks beautiful. Sadly beyond my poor pocket

I am not sure I heard this correctly but on tv someone said water treatment plants had not increased their capacity this century. My earlier point about mass influx of users of water closets is imho strengthened. Secondly that dividends to shareholders of privatised water companies exceeds 170...

I don't have a problem with private ownership per se but it relies on human nature not to be greedy. Sadly that's where it fails down

Yes Rob. No 2 was last night. I think all 3 this week at 9pm

HibJoe. My only guidance I must confess is recalling evidence I heard in the Lands Tribunal in the 70' relating to the Royal commision on water resources, known jokingly as the royal effluent which suggested the current system could accommodate a population increase of around 10%. Not the 30/40...

What I am saying Jim, is that we have a water treatment system build to accommodate a population of around 60 million souls, not 80 million or so.

Whilst sharing the obvious sypathy to victims, the root causes of the problem are not rocket science. In simple terms investment in expansion of our water treatment capacity has fallen behind the population growth. Politicians cover this up for obvious reasons. Two solutions are equally...

Just a cautionary note. I sent a rod via above recently at buyers request and we shared cost of around £45. I have now had a supplemental charge as he was an individual. Ringing a bell as I think I have had this before. So it wasn't 45 it was 50£. Bear this in mind should you be getting quotes

yes its around half the TDR/X equivalent. Great price. Still too much for me but nonetheless a true bargain. I have some abu revo mgx 3000 or my light rods as they are less than 200g so weight is very impressive.

Great offer Rob

I looked and agree with you.

Frightened to look!

Wow, that's a cracker. Yearned for one of those, or a twin power for years.
