Very tempted indeed. I think it's by far the best of the 12ft torrixs.... Seems to be of a different ilk to the other tcs available...

Why do you say it's no good for lobbing 2-3oz leads, id say it's bang on the mark for just that ... even 4oz at a push, I have 2lb tips as well as 1.75 , and I'm happy to lob 6oz 10yrds with my 2lb tops....

It's got to be worth a try 👌

I think it would be ideal for that use, they have a bit of a cult following , and are a very good blank. If you don't use it , I wouldn't hesitate to sell on here , as it has many fans...

Have you had steroid injections Garry. And have you been diagnosed with severe arthritis, .. If so cbt oil works wonders also..

Id rather not Cliff . It wouldn't make good TV

No, who votes?

Certainly no envy here.... Sorry , I forgot about that wallis casting.. No that I'm full of envy for..

That's the point Dave , there is no suitable bit of natural ground anywhere in the uk, to even , lay a barbel on .... They should always be put on a padded mat , to protect their internal organs, and as importantly to preserve the natural mucus/slime which protects the fish in its natural...

There was never any "negativity" intended. Only honesty.. I'm sure Ian is big enough to fight his own corner , and respond as and how he feels fit But unfortunately, his quarry has no say in the matter!
