    Nash Scope 10ft 1.75tc mint with Nash Scope 2 rod bag

    Good luck with that Jim….the 1.75Ib have been out of production for some time and are very sought after…if you see any in stock give me a nod please

    Why Korum, why?

    In terms of modern products I would put sonar technology adapted for the angling market (depth/fish finders) up there as a significant ‘game changer’ ….controversial maybe (so we’re swimfeeders once) but an innovation that has probably been responsible for many big fish captures, especially...

    I’ve sent s few reels Rich’s way for servicing, all older model shimano’s, and they’ve all come back feeling full of life again. Would fully recommend 👍

    Rod insurance recommendations

    Have a look at your house contents cover first. I don’t have any stand alone insurance for tackle, mine is just covered with house contents insurance - I it covers sport equipment for breakages, fire damage and theft when in use or stored in an outhouse. Up to a total value of 10k and 1k per...

    Why Korum, why?

    I get virtually zero tangles using these the way I do….I think a lot of tangles are from either not feathering the cast or not reeling in at a constant steady rate.

    Harrison gti and avons

    Yep, GTi bends through the blank lovely but a lot more stopping power lower down than the Avon - this is comparing my peregrine gti with the 4 piece Avon ….not sure if the 2 piece Avon will have a different action but suspect not

    What the hell is wrong with people 😡😡

    When I was younger I used the think the death penalty and punishments like cutting your hands off for stealing (Saudi Arabia) and other such harsh penalties were abhorrent ….these days I seem to be wishing it on more and more of societies worst offenders!

    Why Korum, why?

    They have made some real quality gear and some real shockers (like most companies IMO) …the gear I really rate are (in no particular order): 1.Original Supalite chair, still going strong after much abuse and just right for roving sessions 2. Original ruckbags 3. Folding quivers 4. Original...

    Tench rods.

    I can take some pics later in week but they are basically these https://www.total-fishing-tackle.com/century-armalite-mk3-supergrade-cork-rod Brand new unused vondition. Not really sure on price, will have a think

    Tench rods.

    I love Armalites and use 2.25 and 2.75 for my carping. Personally I think the 2.5Ib might be a bit over gunned maybe!? If anyone is interested I have a pair of mk3 1.75 Armalites never used, brand new in bags - bought them from a member on here last year to use as bream/tench rods but doubt I...

    Tench rods.

    Never used a Torrix so can’t comment, I think plenty of others on here use them though

    Tench rods.

    Yes own/use both. I tend to prefer to float fish for tench but often also put a helirig feeder out on my peregrine GTI at same time. But if longer range and method feeders needed I use my C3s….that’s what I’ll be doing in a couple of weeks using some Tina berrie boilies on order, the pit is a...

    Tench rods.

    Perfect medium range rods for tench, stepping up to c3 for longer range/weedy waters/heavy feeders

    Korum omega rods

    Folding quivers, Supalite chair (original), ruckbag (original) glide mono, bait and tackle bags and bolt/run rigs are IMO and use quality and practical tackle…and I’ll add the recent rover bag into the mix too

    Korum omega rods

    I think there is also a bit of snobbery about some of the Korum gear, yes they do have some real clangers in their range but also some quality gear. Rod wise I don’t know anything about the Omega range but their X Calibre range were very impressive, fast action rods that were capable of accurate...
