Just back from 2 weeks in Tenerife and there was hot chocolate on tap every morning at breakfast, it was so thick the spoon almost stood up in it, YUM!
Never tried anything but Big Game in 10 and 12lb rating, luckily I still have bulk spools that I bought in Florida back in 2019, will hopefully top my stocks up again next year. For lighter lines I use 8lb Sensor, find that too springy in the higher diameters.
Yes Terry, my first set were the cheap ones, fell apart after a few uses. My current ones are much more robust, the cleaning is essential, both for grip, and to lighten the load!
I agree with Neil, I've always used a dog spike and rope over the years but the last couple of winters I've fitted crampons over my boots too, makes a tremendous difference!
I'm forced to watch it because my wife enjoys it, I wish we could have a proper fishing programme though!
The only thing that could be more irritating would be if Les Dennis were to make a guest appearance, at least he would make Bob look good!
I've recently sold a few 12' rods and used UPS to deliver them, cost £35.60 including insurance for each delivery. No problems apart from not knowing when they would be collected, all UPS say is that it will be between 09.00-18.00.
This is the original, before Drennan added the Martin Bowler name to it. Very good lightly used condition, complete with the original zipped rod sleeve.
Looking for £80 collected, been quoted £30 to ship it!
For me it won't make any difference, my nearest "local" river happens to be in Wales, travelling to the Severn at Shrewsbury is 25 miles, which I consider to be beyond the intent of the lockdown rules and my local canal towpath is so full of walkers, etc that it's not Covid safe!
