    Gardner hydro tuff

    I use 12lb for most of my barbel fishing, 15lb if I’m fishing heavy and it’s really heavy flow/ lots of debris on the Trent. I had Fisk take me into rocks, trees and the nettles and briars on flooded river banks and haven’t had it fail on me yet….probably regret saying that now! Good value very...

    For sale again due to time waster. Diawa Powermesh PMS2234B-AU.BUMP reduced to £160. Pair of 12ft Reduced to £180. 2.75 test curve.

    Don’t know if I’ve set the price to high but I’d be open to a sensible offer before I try and sell these elsewhere. Excellent Flood rods for a big river, I’d imagine they would also be ideal for pike fishing.

    Boot grips

    I bought a set off Amazon, made in China but do the job perfectly. I won’t go on a muddy bank without them….. maybe just me being an old fart but my fishing mate got a pair after seeing mine and going on his backside too many times!

    For sale again due to time waster. Diawa Powermesh PMS2234B-AU.BUMP reduced to £160. Pair of 12ft Reduced to £180. 2.75 test curve.

    Excellent condition original rods. These rods are well cared for and have had little use. They are wholly original and complete with original padded Diawa slips. I can supply photos if anyone is genuinely interested in purchasing these rods. £220 for the pair.

    4000 ish size non-baitrunner reel choice ?

    Would agree with the above, Diawa Theory so outstanding, wide spool for its size and excellent drag!

    your reasoning for your leader length and material?

    I think it’s horses for courses, I use coated braid, Gardner ultra skin on the Trent where it is rocky. Never had a breakage yet. Lengths up to 6 feet if the fish are wary. Smaller less snaggy waters I use drennan acolyte fluorocarbon, thin diameter very supple and surprisingly robust. Again...
