Yes Bob I’ve owned both I had a pair of 2.75 basia rods and I had a pair of DLST c3 rods. I don’t have either anymore as it’s just not really a type of fishing that I do anymore It’s hard to pick a favorite because they are both excellent in their own right but quite different in use. I’ll do...

Great to meet you Wayne Glad you like the rod and I really hope you get it hooped right over onto a big lady on your first outing

I can meet you at thurrock if you want Wayne to shorten your journey by an hour. No need to pay until you’ve looked at it first if you want.

Wayne I would definitely choose the maver signature pro over the supera X that you were considering if grayling are the main target. Simply because It has a slightly softer action more subtle for lighter balanced tackle. The Preston supera x is a proper power float rod and although the tip is...

Yeah it will be ideal for grayling fishing it’s got a nice fast hollow tip and would be quite happy dealing with lines of 3-6lb I’m in Cambridge but I would do some driving to meet someone

Some pics. Completely brand new. Such lovely rods these are

Bought this rod as I love the sig pro range of float rods but never used it as I tend to reach for my 15’s more often than not. Very light high quality rod in brand new condition still contains the tag with original price tag of £240. Stepped up blank absolutely ideal for big chub and single...

Thanks Ian 👍🏻 I enjoyed the video of your session from the bank on the small river.

If carlsberg do fishing days …. My goodness the stars aligned for me today. 29 chub every one a lump including 2 good 6’s and a float caught pb of 7lb 1oz Isn’t it weird ……. Did exactly the same thing the other week when the river had 3-4 inches on and i couldn’t buy a bite yet today you...

They are built like tanks those zeps and they spin for an eternity with a light flick. I’ve caught afew on the nene and Trent trotting several pieces of corn on the hook. It definitely loose feeds better than meat having a faster sink rate. I often take both as it’s not uncommon for a switch...

It was caught on the river ivel when it had a reasonable population of barbel to go at. For me it is still one of the most notable barbel captures of all time. It’s a very different river nowadays after suffering a big predation spike in 2016/2017. There are places down this way like the...

1 price drop and if it doesn’t sell here it will either sell elsewhere or I get to keep it. I’ve put it on eBay now. Bfw members discount £320 no offers on that.

Why not just order one up. Get it built how you want it.

It’s with regret but at the moment makes perfect sense that I’m going to sell this little rod. The information on them is near on impossible to find but I’ll tell you what I do know from speaking to the right people and doing quite a bit of digging. To my understanding there was 4 or possibly...

So when do you plan on starting doing either?
