    Have you got the first avenger mkII straight after the 2000 range Cliff, the 13ft ones?

    New Normark Rods

    I popped round to the local tackle shop today for some maggots and while I was there the shop owner produced a normark legasy limited numbered avenger for me to have a waggle with. A week or so back a good friend of mine gave me his opinion of the new avenger after he had a play with one in his...

    My mrs set up her email so any dodgy sites etc goes straight to spam. That kind of thing has been going on for many years, your own email provider or any other merchant you use could be hacked or give that basic information away.

    Hi Alec. If he does decide to sell any I will let you know, although I very much doubt he will. He has two float rods and I handled them a few months back on the river. They had lovely rigid blanks and a super fast action and were amazingly light!

    Hey, HZ likes what he likes, good luck to him and it's good he's got a rod he likes. I don't think power and stiffness are quite the same, you can still have a weaker rod with a stiff blank and fast action. A friend of mine has some very nice examples from Rive. As far as i'm aware and have...

    New Normark Rods

    I was a big fan of normark rods both the 2000s and the 3000s and had the majority of the models shortly after their release way back when. For me the 3000s were better than the 2000s and unlike the 2000s the 3000s felt good with the 2ft extension in place and fished at 15ft. When I got my hands...

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    I'm far from being a film maker, but before I added any video clips to youtube I did have a go pro which was used for when I was out cycling incase of any accidents, which there were before my mrs got me the camera 🙄. I started to take it fishing so I could watch some sessions back purely for my...

    neoprene thigh waders

    Obviously I can't give a review on them Truite model as i've never had them. When my paraquares give up the ghost i'll be taking a pot shot at the truite model in the hope that they will be similar to the Paras.

    neoprene thigh waders

    I realise your looking for neoprenes Cliff, but I'd suggest you take a look at the aigle parquares (spelled wrong) rubber thigh waders. I'm on my second pair now which i've been using for about 7 or more years and they are still going strong after a lot of use! Good hunting 😉👍.

    Temu (again)

    At the end of the day no one is forced to buy from temu. I for one will continue to buy items from them as the majority of items I have had have been excellent. If any item isn't up to scratch then temu have never made any defence of it and either pay a refund right away when the item is...

    Temu (again)

    Where do you think the majority of suppliers get their products from? I don't just mean fishing tackle shops. They have the items made in china with their logos added, then sell them to the shops who then fleece the man in the street. As one example, I bought several pairs of waterproof...

    Temu is brilliant, had lots of excellent stuff off there!

    New Normark Rods

    Ok, for sure a power model of the sphere would have been great. Funny enough I used the plus's in 13 and 14ft specifically for barbel and found them to be great for the purpose. I also used my avenger mkII ( the first mkIIs which were all 13ft) for barbel, again it was great to catch barbel...
