just a confidence thing I think, most of my rods have doubles. I’m open to singles throughout though.

I’ve got Kigans on a carp rod and they are really nice. Looks like they do single leg so would definately be open to those. Cheers.

I had such an unjoyable experience with vortex airs on a carp rod. The liner coating was wearing off after a few uses. Are minimas going to be a different kettle of fish?

Morning all I’ve got a handful of custom made rods and have generally been very happy with them. However, I got an 11ft 1.25lb chimera built last year and it was a total clanger. I’m looking to change the eyes on it as I think what I’ve got is adversely affecting its action. I was...

I haven’t really fished this year but the last few years I found that in popular swims dusk could go by biteless. It was worth dropping back in an hour or two after dark as I think they got used to people just packing up at dusk or 15minutes in to dark. Doesn’t sound like you’ll have to worry...

I have sporadically fished a few bits of the Thames with my dad for the last 15+ years and for much of that we had it almost entirely to ourselves. It was my slice of heaven and we fished from a little boat, occasionally having some luck and generally feeling free and unencumbered. The Thames...

Thank you. I’m on a carp lake for a few days but am currently more into the idea of catching my pb float caught tench. I haven’t float fished for gravel pit tench for 10+ years so am a bit of practice. I’m in a spot where they were fizzing the other day and I managed a little one yesterday...

Morning all, have people found tench to enjoy the morning sun, or are they equally as happy to feed first thing in the shade?

Afternoon all I own a 14ft acolyte plus which I have used twice. I very much like it but wondered if anyone had a 15ft plus that they would like to swap for my 14ft? Feel free to pop me a message if so 🤟

Harrowing.

Great looking fish Graham.

As far as I’m aware the big foreign carp have stopped, but fish are often still stocked at 20-30lb. For the best part carp are all stocked at some point so I guess it’s where our ethics lie. I don’t know what the stocking levels are like in this place but for me it’s the sanitised nature of it...

I’ve seen that on Facebook a few times recently, looks horrible doesn’t it.

A modest 1.9kg tin of spam I was recently given for a birthday present. I can’t decide whether to use it in quarters or halves.

Another thought on the quiver section. You could fish for chub all the time without one, 2oz lead, bolt rig and hair rigged bait, which can be ruthlessly effective. Although, if you want to use a maggot feeder or light ledgering with bread or something then you will miss a lot of bites if not...

Hi Mark I haven't used the rod but one way to look at the comparison with another rod that has an additional section is that, for the price you could assume that the DV has had more money put in to the blank. Just a thought, as whether that's true or not I don't know.
