If you do a google search you can still find them. Part 2 is on Amazon

I've been suffering the same results but on midland rivers ( dove Derwent Soar) and even the Trent of late. I kind of asked a similar question and it was suggested to me that I needed to fish with a moving bait as opposed to sitting behind a pair of rods pointing sky wards as use to be the way...

Hi Tom I've put in my post that I've been looking at the 12 to 14ft glide but any feedback from anyone would be nice.

Hi Mike I also have the 13ft compact plus and found this can struggle with decent chub on the river Dove Which is kind of why I asked the question. As I said in my post its not as if I want to just take a chance a £200+ rod. I've been looking at the Korum Glide 12 to 14ft and at around £80 I...

Is the Drennan Acolyte plus 15ft float rod up to trotting for barbel??. I've heard people say they use them but I own one and I'm not sure. You could say go and try it but it's an expensive way to find if its not.

Neil can a local tackle shop get you a pair from drennan. You can't deal with Drennan directly and to find a pair of second hand ones sounds a bit of a long shot. good luck either way.

£190 does sound over the top to me. If I remember right they were £80 each when they first came out which is some years ago now. I got mine like I said from Climax tackle and they were end of line then so I got them at £40 Each. As I've also said they are good rods .. I've got a pair of Greys X...

I sold a pair of 1.75tcs a few years back but missed them so much I've now got a pair back. Very nice rods and a nice slim blank. As Joe says probably one of the best value rods ever made. My first ones I got from Climax tackle for £40 each and paid more than that to replace them. I've also got...

Kevin if Paul can't sort you I think I have one in a tackle draw so let me know..

Thank you all for your input. I'll take note of all of it.. Kevin Thank you very much for your kind offer. which club do you have a ticket for.. I've got Newark Piscatorial this year. I had Scunthorpe last year and fished lady pit farm.. I've also got Derby Railway ' Burton mutual and pride...

I've been barbel fishing for 20 odd years but never trotted for them so if you don't mind I have a question.. I suppose there could be plenty of different answers but let's see. I just need to know do you fish the bait way over depth to drag it along the bottom or just dragging bottom or is it...

Still on Gumtree if any one is interested..

I know its a long shot but I've gone and broken my quiver tip carrier section of my 1.5lb tc shimano vengeance barbel rod and was wondering if anyone happen to have one they no longer need that would sell it to me or can suggest a place where I might be able to buy one from. Thanks for your...
