As Mark said. The Powermesh are great rods and were perfect for the Trent / Severn type water or others with full water on.
You'll also be able to get decent reel with the spare cash or good second hand very good ones like Shimano 5000GTEs
Nigel, I've had many good perch on prawns
I'm assuming you are feeding red maggots over the top every now and again as well as putting in a few broken ones.
There is casting and casting....
I'm happy to use an overhead smooooooth cast to pop out a filled large 90gr feeder ( around 5oz) 40 yards into the Lower Severn with my 2lb Torrix
Or the 2 25 Powermesh a bit further into the Trent.
I'm happy to casting out a total 4oz weight near to 60 yards...
Can't see anyone getting too excited discussing this. Pointless site if we all agreed, sensible views only get inflamed with childish comments usually
I looked on eBay at the Korum rigs.
There are lots of single rig packs for between 4.75 and 5.99 plus postage. Hence my £5.00 comment
Richard. So the hook link hasn't got a knot?
And a over £5 a shot. I'll make 8 rigs for that, taking less than ninute each.
And if my hooklinks are pre tied to a swivel, exactly as quick as yours.
And, I prefer a knot to a swivel, when I go through the swivel twice and safer imo, before...
What a faf.
Enterprise Snag free. Down to.
Rubber Tulip bead ( the ring over this on casting will kick the hooklink out from the lead/feeder,)
Size 8 swivel ( to tie your hooklink to or attachment swivel.)
About 45p.
Must give my 15ft Hardy Marksman a trip out soon as well as the Acolyte plus 14ft.
I'm still enjoying using the Mach1 5 piece Shakey at 14ft. It seems to do all I want, handling dace and roach with feeling as well as managing a rogue 14lb pike on 3.8 bottom yesterday.
Mind you it took 20+ minutes
