Cars failed the mot and not worth repairing so best thin the fishing gear to go towards a new as I seem to have collected loads which in my head I will use but in reality probably not. I have the following for sale. There probably will be more but this is off the top of my head
Rods are meet...
To make the most of being self employed and have some days off in the week to go fishing (will still tell the missus I'm going to work though. Sssh don't tell her).
Always go on two rules with rod test curves. Times test curve between 4 and 7 to get recommended line rating and add 1/2oz to tc for max casting. However when lobbing you can get away with much heavier weight. However no manufacturer will recommend it for possible come back should they break.
Thanks for the information chaps and I think I'll give it a go for a season at least and see what it's like. Does look a lovely stretch of river and is closer than wasing which I was also looking at.
Thanks chaps I think I will give it a try even if it's only for a year. Was thinking about joining wasing but drive past here to get to wasing. It's a lot to pay but for years I was a carper and to be honest compared to carp syndicates £250 isn't that much. I use to pay that for a couple of...
Used to fish this years ago when it was on the burghfield lake permit. Have just come up on the waiting list and been offered a ticket. Is it worth it? It's only 5 minutes from my house which I like and used to have some nice barbel but hear nothing about it these days and at £250 it's not...
As mentioned the loddon is a hard river I've yet to break my duck but am being impatient as I've managed 3 4 hour trips in 2 years. There are still some nice fish in the Kenner. Yes not a patch on what it used to be but fish it properly and you can get more than 3 a year easily.
I use a drennan 11.6-12.6 medium feeder rod, although I am looking at selling it once the new hi-s feeder rods come out (I can't help I love freespirit rods). That's brilliant I think just a little to long on some of the tiny streams I fish so looking at getting a 10 footer.
I got £240 for a pair (1 x 1.75 and 1 x 2.25) and they were almost mint. I am very tempted to sell my current set ups and try and get a pair of 1.75's as they were lovely rods I just preferred the old build with part duplon part cork.
Just brought myself the vass 175 smock in both lightweight and winter edition that's my xmas pressie to myself sorted. Told my missus not to get me anything as previously mentioned buy myself what I need. However have a long list that the missus wants from me.
