It's kinda simultaneous really Christian. I just feel it now and don't think about what I'm doing. Timing is absolutely everything with the Wallis cast.

Don't put oil on it Barry, the bearings are sealed and not meant to be oiled 😳

You’d have to go some to bottom out the 13’er.

Hello chaps 👋🏻 I know there’s a thread or two that has discussed the above rods (weights, measures, first cousins etc) but I thought I’d post a brief review as a user this season so far. In short, it’s brilliant. I have the 13’ model and it is light and brilliantly balanced—as you’d expect an...

So did I 😅

Surprised to see this still here!

Exactly. Even a splashy fish can take a while to land and release. A fisherman’s tale I’d wager.

Found some, thank you chaps 😀

@Paul Whiteing what a lovely chap you are 🤩

In the world of overpriced fishing items on eBay, this has to be up there with the most ambitious I’ve seen…

Only if you yell, “Fish on! Fish on, chaps!” at the top of your lungs!

Well apologies for that Richard. I hoped the “😜” emoji would indicate that my comment should largely be taken tongue in cheek, but obviously you’ve read it literally. I do think it is a bit pretentious, purely because it’s completely unnecessary and therefore has a whiff of showing off about...
