Hardly used & in lovely condition. This is the Asaki blank model which is well regarded, ideal float rod for trotting for chub, smaller barbel. £75 – collection from Hornsea preferred but would consider posting at cost if you could help with finding a safe courier.

Had a bit of an experiment with the grains - I went to Maltby`s Stores in Hull & got some of their `Huge Hemp` to try & have added the pic of the standard hemp from the pigeon place, tares & HH. It`s certainly bigger, seems to split about as well as the small stuff after a 24hr soak. The split...

I picked some hemp up at a local pigeon specialists place, currently being soaked but it seems very small to me - maybe I`m remembering it as being bigger in the past (like Wagon Wheels).. I`ve had a search through various forums & found this recommendation...

First cast at 5am but apart from tap tap tap (Bloody Greta Garbo...) didn`t connect with the culprits in the next 5 hours.

Crikey - £365 - hope it gets used!

Came across this by accident on Ebay & it`s obvious the seller isn`t an angler but the price is going up... Never heard of this rod but I think I do know the name Gerry Swanton - Hampshire Avon roach chap? Do you think it`s pokey enough for barbel?

I`ve never actually used a boilie, but this company was near our previous house & I got the paste of `S7` from them. https://www.dnabaits.com/shop/freezer-bait/boilies-secret7.html I found it was happily munched by chub & barbel on the Yorks rivers. It`s nice & smelly - I actually used it...

A very effective penetrating fluid is a 50/50 mix of atf (automatic transmission fluid) & acetone. It`ll work it`s way through heavy corrosion on machinery parts & should be helpful to you. Not the sort of stuff everybdy has but not difficult to get hold of - nail varnish remover & maybe you or...

Those pics from Oxfordshire are just awful. I had a look at the comments & there are some claiming the willows have been `pollarded` - well there is a difference between pollarding & felling the whole stretch down to the soil! I do hope you can be successful, it seems to fly in the face of EA...

Not mine but spotted this, might suit one of you. It has the carbon rings set into the handle, maybe just has the quiver section but it`s only £30 .... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sear-rover-2-piece-rod-/302034912285?hash=item4652af041d:g:6EcAAOSwEjFXfpBZ

Wondering if anyone has a couple or even one of the old optonics - not bothered about varying tone or volume really - as long as it`s working Ok. Please let me know if you can rescue it from the shed! Many thanks, Julian
