    What luggage bag for roaving with a float rod?

    I take a rucksack with every thing in it. My rod and reel is already set up to fish. When I am float fishing, I keep terminal tackle in a chest wader pouch and have 2 maggot/bait bags.

    Spliced tipped float rods.

    In my experience I bump less fish when I strike into a bite. That why I prefer spliced tip float rods.

    Float rod comparison Free Spirit vs Drennan

    I bought the Mark Tunley 13.5ft rod. It weight approx 7 ounces. It a 1 lb test curve so its plentyof power. Waiting for 16 June to christen it.

    Float rod comparison Free Spirit vs Drennan

    In total agreement with you in this point. I bought a 13.5 Mark Tunley rod to deal with the scenario you mentioned. In hit and hold swims soft action long rods give the fish the edge in snagging you up.

    FUTURE FISHING big update

    Like other contributors to this thread, it's a sad to learn the Future Angling are closing. It was a brilliant independent shop. AD are a national company, but they are not cheap IMO.

    Hi s big water , chimera 3 or4

    I have Chimera 3 and 4s. Both are excellent through action rods. River levels dictate which rods I use, apart from I am fishing somewhere that requires a long cast. If you are going to buy one of the two models I would pick the 4s as they are more versatile.
