Chris Cheshire doesn’t appear to be in the forum list anymore but I’ve passed his details on to John.

I have 2. Perfectly sized for a few floats and a handful of rubbers. Like all the klip-lok stuff it’s a durable box

Definitely if you are after the best then Harrison predator rods are the way to go and Dave lumb would be my first choice to build them. The trouble with your requirements is you’ll probably have to make a small compromise somewhere because even small pits will require some half decent casting...

Great introduction Ludo your English appears to be absolutely perfick mate. Looking forward to seeing the mysteries you reveal from those cracking looking venues

I can do the same in any depth of water, you’ve just got to be careful with a few things. My technique is when the fish is done and its *head is out the water* you don’t wind line in, you take the rod right back to both draw the fish close on a long line and take the pressure off just the tip...

I’m doing it the same way minus the elastic band. I just slip the packets into a suitable size compartment in my tackle box. For me it doesn’t really need to be more accessible or organized than that as i would be having a very bad day if I had to start tying hooks on the bank. I always have...

I’m keeping that under raps for the times being mate as I can’t share the photos. They are going in our club magazine and there’s a historic rule that they won’t publish photos in the magazine that have been shared on socials. However……. All will be revealed in good time once the mag is out...

Woah !!!! That’s an arm aching session Ian. Jeeze!! 57 lumps to 6lb. That’s a chub session of dreams.

Is that a tributary off the main river you fish Ian? Do you ever pick any barbel up in it

The reels can be bought new. Would that not make sense seen as your after mint ones

Really pleased you got to christen it and with such a tremendous haul of fish. I’m glad it’s just right for the job. Yes they are fantastic rods and a shame they didn’t continue them.

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
