How much is the feeder Alec? Seems there are a few Specimen 13's on ebay at moment. Around £450

Done plus ordered

Picked up the Spectron from Steve. Perfect condition. Cheers Steve.

Lee. No but I keep meaning to try licorice as a hookbait

Powerpro super slick brown braid 20lb. Most of my rivers gravel or brown stone No longer than 18inches Down to 6 to 12 inches in flood.

And a lovely guy as well. Helped lots of kids.

I've taken Steves Spectron XP of him. He has been a good mate for 40+ years so kindly mates rates.

I thought I had sold one. 😀😀😀😀

Yes. I've always wanted a Ferrari too.

Yes it's still Gardner and very similar properties to the gt80. And as Derek says they are a bit on the springy side, I'm guessing that may well help regarding abrasion.

No Derek. I'm really happy with my line. I've got the GT80 on Z rods and Pro on Barbel rods But thanks.

Yes. Agree with Cliff. Get something abrasion resistant. I use Gardener Pro or GT80 in 12lb.

I use 5000xtea. There is one on ebay at the moment. Bomb proof but expensive but worth every penny. Or one of the 5000 GTE/RE/ ABC family

Doesn't tell me much really Rich. Not sure if they talking P version. Pretty useless review.

Hi Ollie. I'm a Wye local it's certainly had a lot of water on last 2 Winter/Spring times. Yes a 2lb rod would be ideal for nearly all occasions. IF you wanted to fish in the main flow( I don't when it's bank high) you could look at a 2.25 Powermesh that does not feel too stiff and is great to...

Pete. Could it handle a DF barbel do you think?

Yes. Where I've been looking as well as ebay. More toward the 14ft for Throop/HA chub with a chance of a barbel.

Reading up on the Diawa Connoisseur Pro rod for barbel on here noted it was the W version ( Waggler) rather than the P (Power) one. Has anyone given the P version 14 or 15ft a good dabble and has a view. Price around £155 looks good compared with the Acolyte Specimen. Never really liked the...
