Lets have some input into new Korum products for May. My suggestion is for barbel waders. They would have little wings just above the ankle to give stability in fast water. Just like a formula 1 car.

Jim, I have both 11' Trevor West and 11' Torrix. Their actions are very similar.

Good to see you out again Graham. How is the shoulder now ?

Is this your new local David ?

I have the Gardner, but it is heavy, so purchased the Tackle Box 3Mtr which has proved very robust.

Mark, Why not ask on here if anyone has a 1.75 Torrix they are willing to sell. All my best rods were purchased second hand from bfw members at about half the price of new.

What is the lightest loading you are going to make Richard ? I want some for a small, medium pace river (Yorkshire Derwent), so don't want really heavy ones. Mike

Sounds like you have already written your pressie list Chris !
