Hi chaps, does anyone know a rod builder near to reading? I'm after someone to rebuild an old carp rod into an Avon style rod (new handle, reel seat, rings etc). I've tried the couple of local ones I know of (Hampshire rods and custom fishing Rods And they're both too busy so was wondering if...
Surely you liken using no clutch to using a centrepin. Personally I feel it's the other way around you put a finger on the spool when using a clutch during the fight to tighten it and you put your hand on the spool of a centrepin to tighten it (well I do). Personally don't like back winding as...
To be honest Dave wasn't really the reels fault but used to keep my rods together with just tip top protectors and the back of my van isn't the friendliest place for fishing tackle. On my second or third trip with it cast out went to tighten up and notice the bail arm had cracked on the plastic...
Love the old shimanos have 3 X 5010 and 3 X 5000 gte's. Have never got on with a shimano after those have brought most models and quickly sold them. The only reels that are close imo are my Daiwa emcast 4000 br's
Last ones I've seen on eBay have gone for around £60-65 mark plus postage some have gone £70ish and some £55ish but mid 60's is average. Still looking.
Hi all I'm trying to find an old duo lite 11 foot barbel rod. Ideally something like the duo lite barbel xtra or duo xs. Anyone got one they don't use?
Had a peregrine 4 piece that was a lovely little rod, nice curve no flat spots. Now have a Yateley 4 piece barbel stalker which I use instead, if you can find one (got mine second hand on here) they're cracking little rods.
I had a play with a 11 foot fox Royal and it felt lovely in fact I liked it that much I almost sold my 11 foot freespirit barbel seekers to get them but then the thought of having to sell them etc I decided to keep them instead. Can't remember if the fox had double leg guides though.
As much as I don't want to I'm having a big clear out of fishing gear due to going self employed later in the year. So I have the following for sale most of it is as new or unused (I buy things on impulse).
Freespirit hi-s 13 foot power float rod vgc - SOLD Pending
Dymag stalker 9 foot with...
