Bargain !!!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65626241 We will see.I think the response is so much flannel, the water companies are asking us to pay twice for the promosed minor improvements to come , we have already paid them for nothing but their bonuses and dividends to shareholders . We...

Any Help Daniel ? https://www.thefeathershop.com/products/small-blue-jay-feathers David

There are a few identical extending poles around, with exactly the same design, maybe they were all just made abroad and rebadged to suit. I have one, yes they are a bit weighty, but will not break and they are totally reliable. David

Ok, no probs. David

Hi, read the above and have sent Martin a PM re the rod , I know Martin quite well and fish with him occasionally so hopefully he will either get back to me or answer on here for you Huanzou. David

Will keep an eye open Alec 👍 David

A quick bump for anybody who may be interested . David

News this morning … https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65028971 It looks as if a lot that has been said here is also agreed upon in the report. It will take a monumental effort to improve things but there must be the will to do it , heavy fines dont seem to work, perhaps jail and...

I quite fancied something similar,having seen several advertised , so went to look at one in some tackle shop. IMO it looked and felt as though it was designed for a 12 yr old. Size wise I could not see me sitting comfortably on it at all, I am not huge at 6ft and 14 stone, but really it was a...

Signed on another forum 👍 David

Looks like a must watch. My feelings for Mortimer and Whitehouse are 🤮, but this altogether looks like a worthwhile project for Paul Whitehouse . David

Robin, the rod was broken down into useable pieces, I made several vintage style split cane disgorgers, the butt was salvaged and I repaired another rod with it, the rings have been used, in fact there is nothing left of it, I fancy the ferrule plug was used for another Mk 1V . So far as having...

Hi again Robin, the damage to the tip section of your rod is imo terminal, you will need a new one . I have seen rods with similar clean breaks “ repaired “ by joining the two parts with a ferrule , or creating a splice between the two sections, , but it will completely change the rods action ...

Agree with everything you say Milke.. I get called “ Mr Crabtree “ 😋😋😋 David

Robin, I can heartily recommend Mike as a top class cane rod builder, I have seen his work and it is some of the best around, should anybody wish to have a split cane rod “fettled” then Mike is the man to do it . I have stepped back a little from rod building myself as we are planning to move...

I have 3 ,and have had Barbs to 13 lbs on them , they are just about the only rods I use these days, most of my carbon is feeling quite lonely really. 14 th Oct 2022. Taken on a flooded river Wharfe as it was running off . As far as your rod goes Paul, before using it you should check the...

Apart from Barbel rolling on a warm summers evening on the Wye, my main abiding memory of such was at a private estate lake , during a summer thunderstorm when a huge Tench decided to surface roll only 10 ft from the bank in front of me . It was just about over my bait which was frustrating ...

Any idea how much you are asking for it ? A price would be good unless I am missing something which is entirely possible . David
