Hi Graham, not at all, the accommodation has about half a mile of “exclusive”? Fishing, plus about a mile I think of shared with Angling escapades. I was hoping someone may have first hand information I’ve never fished that far up the river.
Morning all, has anyone any insight into this fishery, I’m stopping on it for a week early October I’ve looked at google earth and found a couple of videos I think have been done on it. I was hoping someone may actually have fished it. Thanks I’m anticipation. Kevin
Me neither when I first bought them, I even considered re ringing because the blank is really nice. In all honesty I think the lighter rings and fewer whippings actually make the rod action nicer than my 2.75
Hi Ray they are new style. I have the old in 2.75 and I think that the current blank is just as good. Rings are different on the new one if you’re interested I will add photos tomorrow though in all honesty the rods are like new.
Hi for sale are my 2.25 Test 12' Powermesh Barbel rods. Excellent condition. £160 for the pair, in the original bags. I live about 20 minutes from Peterborough but may be able to meet within reason.
Thanks Richard once again for the response. I fully agree with what you say. I’ll keep searching, a second hand pair of the 2.25 seekers would I think also do the job.
It’s a real shame as otherwise I cannot fault the rod, don’t know what it would cost for a decent set of rings to be fitted? My older 2.75 is by contrast fitted with strong double legged rings but I guess there is a weight difference which doesn’t matter in fairness. It is also a much firmer...
They’re incredibly soft and bend very easily. I keep my rods made up and am constantly having to bend the rings back into shape…other than that they’re fine. I guess my fear is I’ll snap one though it hasn’t happened thus far. The rods themselves are very through action with a powerful butt section
Afternoon people. I’m making an appeal for advice. I currently have a pair of 12’ barbel seekers 1.75, a pair of original powermesh 2.75 for when it’s really tanking through and recently bought a pair of current model powermesh 2.25 to fill the gap.The rods are nice the blanks excellent but I...
Hi Danny, should’ve bought these to replace a pair I sold because I didn’t like the thin handles. Can you tell me what it cost you to have yours replaced please. Regards Kevin.
Hi Nic, good thank you. You really won't be disappointed they're mint. I'm fishing today so no rush, you can call me 07517548454 if you want to. I do travel a bit so may be able to meet up if that suits rather than post as they're quite heavy.
