Again Dave Harrell pro match, used it on the Wye last year, stays on top even when very long trotting.

Yes, very good , appreciate the humour and yes you're right the fish will not notice the difference. However the right tool for the job will make it easier to get it done which is surely the object of it?

I can say for certain that so long as you understand the purpose of the rods they will. I have a pair of them, a pair of original power mesh specialist and a pair of freespirit barbel seekers. all different, all do different jobs and all in their own way good at what they do. you just have to...

I can vouch for the fact that these do exactly what they were designed for. Sure they’re not the nicest looking, they’re a little heavy but the big rings don’t snag up when rubbish is coming down a flooded river and the tips are soft enough to cushion under the tip lunges whilst casting a lot of...

Hi Richard, thanks for the advice. Im looking for a rod that is soft enough to register the bites of shy chub but with enough backbone / leverage to prevent that last dive under your feet that the bigger fish always seem to have left in them. I bought an acolyte plus 11 foot feeder which is a...

Thanks for the reply, I’d be very interested if it was a twin tip.

Hi please forgive my ignorance but does the 12ft powermesh have twin tips and if so what is the stated test curve. Regards Kevin

Hi you can call me 07517548454

I have now had a call from the EA asking for more details. The young lady I spoke to fully understood the concern for fish welfare and agreed in relation to this incident that all does not appear right given the manner in which the fish behaved. I have no idea what her background is but she...

I have since last message reported this incident to EA. They took all my details, relevant details of the incident including do people drink from the water or canoe. No mention of the species of fish or their symptoms at all…… maybe I’ll get a follow up call from someone who will show more interest?

It was the Bailiff who told me during the summer what was causing the foam, though the smell gave it away. He told me that the environment agency are aware and that its a regular occurrence which I've seen for myself. I think its probably been through the system rather than untreated, however as...

I have for sale a pair of Diawa TDM 4012 qd reels. They were both bought by me this season and come complete with spare spools boxes and associated paperwork. They’re lovely reels but having started back fishing last spring I have just not had the use from them that I thought I would. The reels...

It’s a regular occurrence Mike and the EA are aware. Early summer mornings when it’s cool it looks like a bubble bath, unfortunately smells like a motorway service gents. My point, not well made is that the fish behaved like summer when returned. None were out of the water long but all took a...

Sorry gulls we’re obviously picking stuff off the top….I hate technology!

Fishing the tidal Trent last Sunday. Suddenly a film comes floating downstream on the surface, the gills are going mad picking stuff off. Myself and another angler managed four midsize fish between us but both mentioned the fact that the fish did not go back well. This occurred after the river...

Unfortunately we need public support. The same public that are outraged at micro plastic in the sea and appalled at the sight of turtles eating plastic bottles, the same well known nature program presenters who appeal to that public to do something about it seem not to make the fact that the...

Thanks for enquiring this is sold pending collection.

Hi David many thanks for that. I have had an enquiry regarding the rod but it is still available as we speak. Regards Kevin

Rod is in excellent condition with both top sections, original bag and an additional glass tip which makes it an exceptional chub rod.£90. I would be open to offers if anyone has an original Powermesh or better still a pair.

Fortis light breathable storm proof.
