Hi Mark. Is this rod progressive or through action?.and do you have any photos? Regards Dave

Yes I know what you mean Mike. I've probably bought more tackle off here though than anywhere else.

I've just bought a new one and 'will not' be overtightening it!! The new one locks when I turn it the other way though but that doesn't really matter so long as it locks! I discovered the pole had split at the end where the widget was so even after cleaning it out and superglueing it in it came...

That winds me up too! It's as if these people on fb have to photograph ever single fish they catch even the small ones!! Just to prove to everyone they've caught!?

Oh ello Mike 😄..I didn't realise you were on here.

Ah bad luck Mike. Yeah I remember standing there on the work party. Looks nice. The irrigator was mentioned by the chap on utube. That's why he avoided that area.

I got both Aventa rods towards the end of last season but have not yet tried them out. The 7 footer is rigged up ready for my local River Nidd where I believe it would be perfect. It certainly feels powerful enough to extract those nidd nutters from under the willow branches!

I wouldn't go that far..but thank you 😂

I've just got it working again 😃. Superglue held the widget in place just fine where end of section was split, but it now locks when I turn it the other way now! 😆. (Note to self..'Do not overtighten')

I've just realised my 'widget' was jammed at the end of the pole near the cap and the whole thing had detached from the inner pole! On closer inspection it seems the end of the pole has split! It may be possible to chop a bit off and still fit a new widget? I'm tempted just to get a new handle...

I've used the back to back grinner knot for combi links and it's neat and super strong!

These are brilliant lightweight chairs. I've had one a while now and it's so light and easy to carry!

Hi John and welcome back. We may bump into each on the Ouse at some point as I do fish it frequently. Dave

Removed. Decided to keep it.

Another thumbs up for Fisky Feeders from me. I've got a few blockend feeders up to 6oz

Happy Christmas to all and hopefully a better 2022! 😊

Since I've started using 1.5lb tc rods for my winter fishing I've enjoyed it far more when playing barbel.

If your after a low water/small barbel rod I've been using a fox royal 1.5lb 12 foot rod with quivertip and Avon section and its perfect imo. I'm also using a Drennan Duo Specialist 1.5lb 11 foot rod for tighter swims!

Outstanding session Graham well done.

So far so good with the GT80+. It's nice and supple, knots well, cast well and I've got caught up in a snag and still got everything back! So I think the 12lb is certainly 'understated' as I was told and breaks higher 👌
