I like those. What’s the fit like? I have a slim narrow face and generally find a lot of sunglasses just look huge on me.

Nice rods i have the light specialist version hardly used i keep toying with the idea of selling. However know i’d never get one like it again.

Okuma pulzar 4000. Had most shimano and daiwa reels going i’m a reel tart. Those little Okuma reels for £40 each are just as good as any of the much more expensive daiwas and shimano i own. Have just brought some more for my scopes.

Think that’s a good price. Paid a lot more than that for a 11 foot torrix elsewhere this year.

I use the fox zig disk. Small compact and decent diameter so not to make longer rigs end up too curly when they come off.

Just got a Okuma Pulzar 4000 through the post today. Seems a lovely little from my quick play. It is fairly small about shimano 4000 size. Maybe the 6000 would be better on bigger reels, but all my fishing is a under arm lob it seems spot. Time will tell what it’s like.

To get out more than once before March 14th next year. Getting expensive at £250 a year when i’m only fishing 1 session a season.

Freespirit as i prefer 11 foot rods and don’t think daiwa make them.

Fish the same stretch and have ordered a 11 foot 1.75 torrix for it. Now i’ve changed vans can’t keep my little 11 foot 4 piece avon in it anymore that i always uses on there.

This was a brilliant chub rod. Mine met a unfortunate end as i was in a rush having sold a rod on ebay tht needed packaging and sending out. Grabbed the first tube in the cupboard cut it down to size only to find this poor rod was in the tube and was now a 7 piece. Not had a rod as good for chub...

Thanks chaps, they sound spot on for what i need them for. For the price think i’ll take a punt and get one for my barbel rod and possibly one for my stalker / floater rod.

Fancy a new reel and having spent all my life using daiwa and shimano reels, feel the quality lately is definitely not what it used to be. I was looking online ans saw the okuma pulzar reels. The 4000 looks like the ideal size with me and has a baitrunner plus is only £45. Anyone use these...

I’m the same, find rear clutches much easier. Any decent rear clutch reels out there?

Got a decent one from go outdoors for £30. Really light and comfy

Will keep an eye out for those. My 40th next month, need to treat myself as will probably only get socks and smellies off the family.

Will you be getting any 11 foot torrix blanks? Like the build of the 12 foot you have in stock but prefer 11 foot rods.

Brought a couple of second hand drennan rods. To stop the missus seeing them left them in the cardboard tube and put them in the cupboard. Then sold a couple of rods and grabbed a tube (i had a few), measured it and cut it down for the rods i was selling. Was surprised how hard it was to cut...

How big a bait would you be using for Pike? I have a set of 11 foot, 2.5lb harrison baby ballista that i had made. Have used them in the past happily for barbel on a flooded river, when fishing for carp up to 48lb in my local water). I’m sure they could handle reasonable sized deadbaits up to...

Shimano aero 4000 fa feeder reel. Use mine on the chub rod. Did buy it for barbel but get it was a bit small for that for some reason but fits perfectly on my chub rod.

I know i really regret selling my torrix Bob did me. However have a 4 piece avon he did which is my go to rod for most things now as it fits on a shelf in my van. Will never sell that one!
