    Daiwa whisker 25 qd or Daiwa castizm br 25 a

    Castizm br for me not a fan of the quick drag on the Whisker but do prefer the quick fold handles on them as suffer with dodgy fingers and sometimes cannot undo the castizm handles to fold down

    What’s everyone’s go to rod for the big Trent

    Have lobbed 10oz half way across the Thames and can ping a 6 oz watch lead perhaps 80 yards as for fish playing action have had no issues but have not really had a really big fish on them yet.

    Daiwa castizm br 25a or 25qd

    Perhaps the only downside to the castizms is the size of the reel foot. Fit my infinity rods fine but allow only a few turns of the reel seat on my Hi S “heavy water “ rods

    Whats your PB?

    Not my PB but took my friend Tony out on the Thames as he had never seen a barbel let alone caught one. Two hours later had a PB of 14lb 8oz. We then spent the next four hours sat there giggling like school kids
