In a previous life I collected records. That’s the sort of delivery that would have a very similar effect on me these days

I guess it depends on how weedy the pit is and how far you need to cast a 3oz feeder or lead I use 1.75 Infinitys for all my Barbel and tench and big bream fishing but I’m on a big very weedy pit this season for tench and they aren’t powerful enough on the off chance that I hook a big tench in...

Hi Daniel Good to hear you’re getting back in the bank There’s rumors of some new Drennan tench and bream rods coming out soon. They do come up second hand but they are a bit overpriced when they do, imo. The 2lb is a bit of a poker, like you’d expect from a rod that Drennan claim can...

They have a low oil content so good for the winter

Price it right David and someone might travel a fair distance for it. They rarely come up used in that condition and theres a demand for them

Brilliant Bill. I’m putting some of your success down to that new chair 😜

Hi Jim I was going to put 3x r3s and a receiver on the classified page in the next few days. I could sell you the receiver and one alarm if you’re interested

I sat on one in the shop last year, I found it very very comfortable. It’s not heavy considering its size but it is big and bulky. I tried a few and nothing gets near it but it would stand out a bit on the bank

Collection from North London, N8, St Albans, some Verulam Angling Club Waters or Nazeing Meads. I can post the Titan Hide at cost after I’ve found a box SOLD STP - Nash Titan Hide, the first version, with solid infil and all pegs. No holes, rips or tears. I tested it in the back garden, no...

I had some Free Spirit ESs which were the lower TC version in the range to the XS. Very nice for close work as well as for bigger distances, and pricey at the time.

I don’t, I’m just going on what I’ve read on the internet. They’re well very well regarded by a lot of carpers for short to medium range stuff, which would mean long distance for me, and have a good playing action I bought some rods from Alan a few years ago, they were in great condition and...

There are three Armalites on eBay with a reasonable starting price but not with cork handles

Last time I looked Harrison still had the interceptors on their website, not sure that means they still have the blanks though

I reckon the C2 would be great up to 50-60 yards as Joe says but struggle a bit beyond that. I’ve used 1.75 Torrixs which I liked and the Drennan Tench and Bream in 1.75 and 2lb which were either too soft or too stiff for me. I’ve settled on the Infinitys which I really like and I can use for...

I’m not sure then, Alex. Everything I’ve sold recently I got the full amount for, it’s obviously not as straightforward as I thought
