Hi Jon You can fish some of the Rackerhayes complex on a day ticket https://newtonfishing.co.uk/day-tickets/ I did fish it a couple of years ago (Island Pond) and the guy in Tackle Trader was really helpful. Have caught tench from First Pond, Island Pond and Linney Pond at Rackerhayes, albeit...

He's retired full stop!

Generally only weigh goldfish in Troy ounces....

Can't give a comparison to GR60 butt I like GT80 and would use it if I couldn't get hydrotuff or synchro xt. All three are good but I've currently got hydrotuff on my spools as it just seems 'better' - and that's the thing about lines, everyone has a favourite for logical and sometimes illogical...

I'm loathe to buy without trying but visited a branch of Naylors and was impressed at the range of wellies including Grubs, Aigle, Royal Scot, Barbour, Hunter. Tried loads on and found what I wanted. Some of their BF deals are worth a look using the code on the website Useful if you have a...

I've no experience of either but there is currently a 2- 3 year waiting list for Prince Albert plus a hefty joining fee vs £50 a year for Warrington.

The Evoke twin tips are nice blanks. I built a pair 18 months ago and they are lovely to use

Not sure what opening times the office keep these days but I'd be calling before 2-30 to be on the safe side if you need a code.....

Those rods have a busy winter ahead of them so I'll be keeping them 🙂

Good to see you again yesterday to collect the reels. They're very nice. I'm looking forward to giving them a workout on some French catfish - hopefully! Thanks! Ps:please stop selling great gear-I have too much already.

I changed rods at Christmas and endured endless problems with line looping over the Enterprise holder when it was between the tip and first ring on the new rods. I then repositioned it on the tip ring - where you have put yours. Just like magic, I've had no more tangles.

We did Kevin. Will give you a call this evening to sort it out. Good luck with the fishing!

Hi Kevin. Hope you're well. I'll take the reels please. Will pm you to arrange payment etc Nic

Hi Richard. I don't think that's right as long long ago I built a 12ft normark float rod for my dad that came with two tips as described above. It had sliding plastic reel collars on a Cork handle with a plastic end cap, a hollow carbon tip and a spliced carbon tip. The joints also had stainless...
