    Recommendation for 10ft pike rod

    Oh really.... I didnt realise that mate. I wonder why that is? Probably because the more popular blanks especially from the Carp lads take priority? Oh well, I'll soon be getting it. Can't wait👍👍

    Richard.... I suppose under the special circumstances we're living under delays are to be expected. Still frustrating though!!. My blank was a 1.25 Avon/quiver for Chub.

    Recommendation for 10ft pike rod

    Absolutely bonkers mate. I was beginning to think I was never going to get it. Normally his rod builds take between 1 and 2 months.!!!!

    Recommendation for 10ft pike rod

    I can vouch for that. I ordered a particular Harrison blank on the 6th July and my rod builder only received the blank last week!!!!!!!.

    Recommendation for 10ft pike rod

    I have some of Daves lure rods as well. Cracking bits of kit. The Fooler being a personal favourite. 👍

    Old Fox Adjusta chair.

    That's exactly my argument Richard. I went out Chubbing last week on the Nene and the So called mud feet on the korum lightweight are so small they kept sinking in the soft ground making things a right pain. Like yourself I'd definitely sacrifice a little more weight to have the perfect...

    Old Fox Adjusta chair.

    Keith..... that was a good find!!!. As Mick said, I'm sure an upholsterer could quite easily sort that out. If not.....let me know and I'll buy the frame off you!!!!😇

    Old Fox Adjusta chair.

    Richard.... its the actual 4 mud feet on most standard chairs I'm not actually keen on. I find them a pain to adjust and no matter how big the foot is they always seem to sink in the mud completely defeating the object of a mud foot!!!!! I think the old Adjusta chair was near enough the perfect...

    Old Fox Adjusta chair.

    I used to have one of the above chairs for years. Its been the best chair I've owned. They wasn't to everyone's taste but personally I found the leg adjustment system absolutely brilliant. Especially on sloping banks. I have a korum lightweight now and although its a decent enough chair the...

    Muck boots

    Yep.... they're the ones Robert. I've had both!. I have the ISO 2 pair at the moment. Good price those!👍 Absolutely brilliant boots mate.

    jacket recommendations

    I found snugpak to be very warm but not all that breathable. As already stated if you have to walk any distance you soon get a sweat on. Keeping static is fine. For an all round better option try the Buffalo shirt. (It comes with the option of a hood). These are simply awesome bits of kit. Very...

    Recommendation for 10ft pike rod

    Couldn't agree more. Cracking rods. Use mine on my local 20ft and other drains. Absolutely perfect tool for the job👍
