Did you warm to them Graham?

That's a good deal.

Afternoon all Harrison Chimera 2 12ft 1.75lb I had this up for sale last year but am putting it up again at a reduced price. Lightly used and in very good condition. 8 rings plus tip, Fuji sics. 20mm butt ring through to 8mm tip. Shrink tube handle and dpns reel seat, little hook keeper...

Having a look on Mark Tunleys Facebook it sounds like that there will be, just further down the line.

Although just to be clear, I’m not that fussy, Dave kindly said he had a 4 piece and a silver wye button is just not for me. Any standard cork handle would do the job.

Thats my next stop Rich 👍 I do like the idea of one with a screw down reel seat for centrepin use. Weirdly, although I do like the 11ft 1.75lb Torrix I bought a year or so back, I have changed my tune and decided I am not a fan of it with the centrepin.

The ability of my Aviator Flex to both cast and play fish nicely is almost hard to believe. They're still enjoyable to catch a 6lb tench on despite being rated at 3lb 2oz. Sometimes when playing one I've thought, this would be amazing if they did a scaled down version. It will be interesting to...

Still looking

Hi Alec, I’m not especially keen on the Peregrine builds, thank you though.

Hi Derek, the blank looks the same as the Standard Specialists. I am hoping the action will be similar and in 11ft. Dave Lumb describes the SS as 'Compound action with a tip that bends easily into a progressively stiffer butt while retaining a through action.' From what I've read that...

Evening all If anyone has one of these they wouldn’t mind parting with feel free to pop me a message. I’m after the 11ft 1lb10oz/ 1.6lb, I believe it is referred to as the SU Avon. Thank you

Hi Mike, please can I take Avon Days and Stour Ways if it is still available?

30lb braid straight through sounds brutal 😳 What braid are you using?

For fluro, it’s a perfection loop knot for me. I’m happy with a fig 8 or double overhand on mono but wouldn’t be happy with it at all for fluro. I had similar issues losing fish on fluro and have lost all confidence in fluro loops but for the perfection.

Yep discontinued apparently. I just sold mine and bought a pair of shimano 6000 OC. I do like the ss2600 more but there is something so convenient about a baitrunner on the river, particularly if using two rods and it’s dark. I couldn’t afford to keep both but will miss the clutch, weight and...
