The Best rod I have found is the Harrison 4 piece either direct from Harrison or one of the rod builders like Peregrine or Tunley,Sliwa( I'm not sure Andy builds on Harrison blanks though) I have a Shimano Bastmaster 10ft spinning rod I use for rolling meat but would use it for short sessions...

Time and a place for everything Used to enjoy a few days in my bivvy on the river , pod , Alarms, bedchair, sleeping bag, full cook kit, 5litres of water , two buckets of pellets , 6oz feeders, little telly - even watched the World Cup England matches at Collingham while barbelling!! Mate...

Rolllllin rod A Dave Mason 10ft rod is a great rolling rod as it is so light, I have been on the lookout for a 10ft rod that will fit in my boot( so needs to be three piece at least) and have just put some cash down for a shimano beastmaster spinning rod as it looks to be the only one that fits...

I use a fly fishing waistcoat ( more american style utility vest thing) that i have put a go pro on the left breast ( like cops do) and its great for filming without having to put a harness on as i rove rolling meat

Short Rods So Someone said short rods were no good for Trotting, well I agree with that but for Rolling? no Way!! I use a 10 footer for all my rolling and its ideal as I can hold it all day and its just the right size for feeling bites and following the line angle

I'm surprised they don't , Cliff always used to keep spares and helped me out with a new nut when I dropped mine in the Trent, seems strange not to keep the older reels going by offering a spares or even a refurb package.

I rarely fish it now with two rods and all the bells and whistles- been Rolling meat for a few years now with some fantastic results or in the deeper spots just one rod and travel light, same again some pretty good results. This season has seen me miss out due to an unfortunate badly broken...

I've got one but wouldn't sell it, they do come up now and again but you may be waiting a long time .

Gorilla glue is what I use , gel in a bottle for about a fiver and loads more than the bit you get in loctite tubes or bottles

Hinders Elips - they aren't even lliptical any more but catch Barbel Buy the small for feed and the medium for the hair rig

Cut a tin into slices (but not cubes) and place all slices together in a big oblong then leave to air dry for a day- you will then get a nice skin on one side that helps keep it on the hook. Large sizes when rolling meat I have no problem but the multiple meat baits is also a good tip if feeder...

Well my new breathable waist waders and boots will have to wait as the Trent is about 4ft up and rising

Having honed my session skills with carping , I have a poo bucket - it's a tall one with a roll top and exactly the same as my bait bucket so I can slip one inside the other so no extra space taken up All you need is swing bin liners, a kitchen roll,some toilet roll and some Andrew wipes Put a...

2 seasons so far, maybe 3 but it's been brilliant and is deep enough for resting fish I have the bigger version

Tikka + probably your best bet Scaz I use a led lenser myself as it has variable lighting but not for everyone due to the rear battery pack Was the fleece ok? Probably a bit creased after being in my car all that time!

They are not pokers like a normal carp rod, they have a nice progressive through action I find

Greys 9-12ft stalkers are rare as rocking horse ... Me and my mate Jas have two for sale on eBay at the mo as we thought they would sell better as a pair They are great as you can fish them at 9ft and 12ft

Cheers Mark and boy you packed it well !!

Rod arrived safely Mark , many thanks
