A pair of heated socks, 2 Zippo hand warmers, a balaclava and a flask of coffee. And id tackle the antarctic..😃

I'm out every Sunday.... No matter what!!. The weather has never bothered me.

Graham at buzzard Rods will build as a pred rod!!

If you're looking for a shorter rod , maybe 10ft , look no further than the 2.75 torrix, it's great for upto 25yd lobs with smaller to medium sized deads.. It's got a mid to through sort of action with a softish tip. Great crossover from Zander to pike rod ,imo...

Im also a advocate for 30 mm up to 10mm anti frap on any barbel rod of 2.25 and up to 2.75. . Not only for casting performances but weed clearance on the tip also. Also a big fan of the alps cwg ai on all my rods including float rods the rubber insert is so comfortable....

Sounds like a right faff to me !!. Nothing a couple of casts with a spin doctor wouldn't sort 😘

I don't think you will find a specific line reducer. Best too wind all your new line onto your spool , top it off with backing line , counting how many yards you use Then load that onto your other spool. Wind on said amount of backing on first spool and wind on your new 200m💪🏿

One on eBay at 333 if anyone fancys treating themselves for crimbo! 🎁.

Hi Michael, did you manage to fish with the 11ft 6 flood and snag. How are you getting on with it. Jim...

Hi Jon, you mentioned using an 11.6. Would that be the flood and snag Chimera. If so what are your thoughts please...

Thanks Paul, I'm currently using my 11ft 2lb torrix for the majority of my barbelling, I have a pair of 2.5 torrix for the tidal.. And I'm looking to bridge the gap but prefer shorter rods. I know Harrison do an 11ft 2.25avon but again, not much info forthcoming..

Hi chaps, I have the opportunity to purchase a pair of Chimera flood and snag rods, and was looking for information on action, in comparison to the C3. Which I have been using for many years. Just looking for a change...
