Hi Hurgen, yes, I got the bail arm sorted and put your SS IIs to good use over the last couple of springs/summers for the tench fishing. So nice I wanted another for the occasions I use a third rod 😊 I hope you find some reels you like as much

Hardly used, perfect condition, boxed, spare spool (still boxed). Got it for chub and perch fishing but will also cast distances for tench and bream, too. Very smooth and very light. Not sure that they are available new any longer. £100 plus postage (or free to collect from near York)

Cheers Mick, he’s been in touch 👍

Hi, there aren’t many around but does anybody have one in good condition that they might sell, please?

Bank Tackle do a chod (or heli) safety system and a ‘naked’ version if you don’t feel the need to use a leader, which I usually don’t. They’re £3-odd, a bit more if you want the tungsten version. I haven’t seen the Korda bits other than in Joe’s photos, but these look exactly the same. If the...

Why not fish with maggots, casters and worms further out? They will usually catch you more tench than boilies.

Out of print and numbers were quite limited when released. Perfect condition. £105 posted or collect from near Pocklington

Pocket 10x25 HD binoculars - £75 Matt

Edited. Alternatively, some Emblems wanted.

Selling for a friend. Two of the above, very lightly used and in great condition, spare spools but without boxes. £210 posted or swap for Daiwa 25 Emblem BRs

Dai Gribble’s book has plenty of tench chapters in it, as do Tony Miles and Chris Turnbull books (in case you haven’t got them)

I think somebody told me that Dave Lumb’s Standard Specialist Harrisons are the same blank as the Ballistas? I have two of the 204s, the unground wrap of the carbon is very retro but I really like it

I take it you’re not interested, then?! 😆

I know the chap selling this and he is a 100% genuine fella

Hi Brian, nope, I’m still looking - perhaps we can sort something out
