    Nash barbel elite 2lb rods

    £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...

    Nash barbel elite 2lb rods

    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...

    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...

    Korum S23 Chair

    Is anyone on here using the Korum S23 Chair?. I've just had a look at one in go out doors but can,t quite make my mind up and at £107 I want to be as sure as possible that it'll do the job..

    Best 12ft low water/small barbel rod?

    Free spirit Barbel Seeker. I have the 12ft 1.75tc but had it custom made . Only two things different to off the rack. I had a shorter handle (free spirit rods are about 20inches from reel stem to end of but) mine is only 16inches and a hook keeper whipped on. the long handle may make it easier...

    Slipping chair and/or bedchair legs - any solutions/fixes?

    I've just stripped down and refitted the spring and locking plate on my Chub hi-lite chair and it is just a case of slipping the spring and plate out of the plastic holder and they do just slip straight back in

    Slipping chair and/or bedchair legs - any solutions/fixes?

    The spring & plate make it sound just like my chair.. It is easy to take it apart and refit,, I've just received two new lengths of tube to replace the front legs on my chair which is a job I'll be doing on Sunday morning so if I remember I'll take pictures and post them on here for you.

    Slipping chair and/or bedchair legs - any solutions/fixes?

    This is what I've done to 3 chairs and its worked fine every time.. I have more weight than I should have to test them out to so need to repeat the task occasionally
