    Pretty much Drennan, but some odds 'n sods from others... Rods from Harrisons, reels from Shimano, line mostly Berkley Big Game Airflo Sightfree G3 Flurocarbon for some hooklengths, superbly reliable & robust....

    A Dopey Question

    Dave, if I were you I'd go to Hopkins & Holloway and get some new epoxy finish, the older stuff is prone to not setting uniformly...sometimes it will set far too quick, other times not at all....and they usually discolour. As Mike says whippings will darken, so its worth doing a test sample...

    Daiwa Amorphous Whisker Harrier Match Feeder Rod

    The best tip for general fishing on this particular rod would be: Drennan DRX 3oz Fast Taper carbon Tip you can also use any of the other Drennan tips but I wouldn't go below 2 1/2 oz fast taper or over 3oz fast taper, if you do you may as well use a normal Avon style "hollow top"

    June 16 dilemma

    I used to follow Liverpool, but Brighton was my local team, I used to watch Brighton regularly, but I know i'll never go back, it has absolutely no appeal to me these days. I watch Rugby, both league and Union, that's my choice, I think that while the supporters are just as passionate in rugby...

    June 16 dilemma

    Ooh dear, I used to play & watch too, but with all the diving & lack of respect for the officials (& each other) I couldn't stand it anymore... Perhaps it would be better if soccer took a leaf from Rugby's ethics, the referee is 'Sir' and is given the respect he deserves, & a yellow card is 10...

    A Few Rods...

    I have finally got around to sorting my rod cupboard out and I think that these rods are surplus to my requirements. To be perfectly honest I have suffered from Rod Buying Addiction. Firstly, A Pair of Insight No6 rods, Brand New, about 1 1/2lb TC. 12ft, two piece with detachable handle...
