The no4 when released was probably the least looked at of the specimen rods available, so was probably overlooked. If the chance of one came up now, having never used one . I would be very interested..

Thanks for your input Richard, always worthwhile to read with interest,,,, I'm still looking for the perfect barbel rod , and nothing yet coming close to the tfg tremor. But it always comes down to scenarios, and mine are very variable... I've got a 3rod short list for barbel on the float...

Just too keep the thread on line... I too think as a mainline, mono if you're preference.... Or braid , are a better choice , even up to 60yrds, unless you are regularly cleaning it. Hooklink wise,, I think it's a much more personal choice but again if you're prepared to give it a wipe every...

Hi Tommy , I'm going nowhere, and I agree with you when you say you're posts are funny.... So I'll keep checking in as normal , and have a giggle as and when. Btw . I'm about as far from cliquey as you ! Can get. Jim... Keep up the good work 👌....

After sleeping on it . I've come to realize that my brain had been fried from reading too many other posts. Thanks Tommy 😀

I'll get me 🧥...

I'm very confused now . 😂. Terry says . Lower stretch more chance of snapping.. Which is surely the opposite of more stretch less chance of snapping. Or am I still missing something 😂😂😂🤷🏿

I'm no physician, but I think that's 100 percent wrong..... Surely something that stretches, and stretches and stretches and stretches and stretches and stretches and stretches and stretches and stretches. I'm bored now. Is less prone to snapping??. Unless it's different when considering fishing...

Got the spec and section measurements now thanks. And if anyone is interested at almost half price, I think fishing mad have one left...

Or hinders betalin liqued, in its various flavors, added to your pellets of choice. I have soaked my artificials in it probably 8yra ago , and they still smell sweet now...

?????? Please elaborate Tommy. I'm a massive fan of none snapping line 😬

My last 2 penneth worth.. I really don't think the fish are that bothered..

Hi chaps , does anyone have any info on the Daiwa Spectron SPM1315 W-AU. Match float..... I know it's rated 2-8lb. But was wondering if anyone knows the confirmation of the length of sections and dolly.. Thanks...

There are many times when you just get that feeling that one will be enough. Although 75 percent of the time I fish 2 rods on the pod , I've recently, probably in the last year or so always started of with one.... Just to feel my way in.... Although I did have a double hook up 3 weeks ago, but...

Id have to agree with Joe. The 11ft 1.75 torrix or 2lb for barbel on the river is a hard option to better. But for still water work , the S.U Avon or GTI would be an excellent choice...
