I recall they were highly rated by lots of anglers. I know someone who used a pair for all his carp fishing until they were stolen from a garden shed. Having Terry Eustace's shop a short bike ride away meant I knew a lot of people with T24s, T31s and Big Tench Rods. Even had some of his rods...

Hi Clive, thanks for the suggestion. I'll pass it on to him. ATB Nic

Advertised for a friend: A pair of Terry Eustace Big Tench Rods. 11ft 1lb 2oz tc, medium taper. Excellent condition. Hardly ever used, owned by my mate from new. Black blanks (never varnished), handles rebuilt last year with Fuji reel seat, fresh epoxy applied to whippings. Fuji rings...

Malc. As others have said, Bob at Angling Direct Bham (formerly Fosters) does strip and rewhips. I've seen his work and he does a consistently good job but you would expect that from someone who has been at it for 40 years (more or less). If I didn't do my own builds/repairs I would trust him to...

Well done Jim. Been a while since our paths crossed but I see you are still hauling.!

I too have some bits and bobs - rod sleeves, net floats, leads bag. All good quality, have lasted well and cost less than other brands. Wouldn't hesitate to look at NGT for other kit when I need it.

Back to the OP's question: used original krank hooks and found them bendy, partly straightening on occasions. Nice pattern and although I haven't tried the x version I would do if I run out of ESP Raptors.

Had mine 5 years. Use it with small and large gas canisters. Great stove and very compact. Can be used as an ordinary stove with the the folding pan support or to boil water/cook boil in the bag stuff etc. Not the cheapest tho.

I always thought there was a lot of crushed biscuit in CLO giving it a sweetness. Might be wrong though. Used to use it at up to 45% in boilie basemixes back in the day.

Second that. I have two that are my go-to rods. Can't imagine a light spod rod being much fun. Have used a standard spod rod on odd occasions for carp and pike but it doesn't have much 'action' to it.

Keeping the staff for now. Maybe. At some point soon there will be an 'offer' to transfer to an AD employment contract or take redundancy. Resulted in a big turnover of staff at the former Fosters.

Bought a second hand single wheel daiwa carp barrow earlier in the year which would be fine for what you are looking at. It's not that light but it's easy to push and does fold flat. Got it for carp overnighters and trips with my other half when we take too much stuff. Should find a few...

Bought an ex-military used gortex jacket off ebay three months back. On its first proper use it kept the rain out but then all of the seam tapes inside have now fallen off. Looks like an hour with the iron and new tape to try to patch it up or a new coat will be required. Perils of buying second...

Monster brace. Well done Dave.

Yes thanks, via Gumtree.

Mark, Derek Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look to see if there is a part number on them. I'm really looking to replace with upgraded bearings rather than OEM parts from Felindre but the part code should lead to the dimensions - hopefully!

Re-posted from the technical thread: Thinking of replacing the two handle bearings in my 5000 REs. Does anyone know the size of the bearings I would need? I know there are some on ebay, mainly from the US but as I might need 6 sets I'm thinking it would be preferable to source direct from an...

There's a guy selling various pioneer poles on ebay - seems to be doing a breakers operation on it! Worth a look to see if he has a pole that would do? If you look at one of them you'll see his other listing. It's listed as trakker aqua pioneer ultralight pole front pole 2 49 inch replacement pole

Dave, many thanks for rods and making time to meet up. Best fishes!
