Thanks again Richard. Glowing praise of the rods indeed👍. Dave Lumb has just responded and given me his ringing pattern. Not for the first time Dave has taken the trouble to help me out, top bloke.

Thanks Richard, but do you never sleep😛. It was partly due to previous posts of yours relating to ringing that made me consider using fewer guides. These rods will be built by a very local builder👅with no knowledge of the reduced ringing approach. I’m hoping that someone has a Chimera 3 built by...

Hi all. I’m considering investing in a pair of these for the occasions when my Chimera 2’s may be found wanting. The factory built 3’s have 10 guides plus tip and this seems(in my opinion) at least one too many. Does anyone have a custom built Chimera 3 that is fitted with fewer guides?. If...

If the bait is to be boilies, be sure that you’re not breaking bad eggs into your base mix! and the best colour is pink man😜

Firstly, congratulations to the captors of both of these impressive Tidal Trent barbel. I think it likely however that they aren’t the same fish. The tail of the fish in John’s image is very distinctive and not like the one in the boat shot. The position of the red blemish also appears to be...

Bill and Neil. I confess that I haven’t done the bearings on a Purist but several BJ’s and some TFG Classics. On the BJ’s both inner and outer bearings are the same size. To remove the outer bearing(furthest from backplate) I’ve not removed the end float screw but worked from the other side...

Hi Neil. I have successfully replaced the bearings in several Youngs centrepins. Using external circlip pliers the circlip retaining the toothed ratchet wheel is normally removed quite easily. I fit hybrid ceramic bearings to my reels and I feel that they transform their performance. Normally...

The difference is Bill, you’ve actually got them in stock😛.

Hi Eddie. I’ve had one of these from new, probably 25+ years and have always regretted not having a pair. Would you consider posting one to Kent.🤞

Hi John. You’ve mentioned these before and as a long term Harrison user they’ve caught my interest. Are they available yet or are you still testing prototypes. What’s your opinion of them , what is the casting capacity. They are obviously suitable for the TT, but I wonder just how much more...

Sorry, should have gone to Specsavers🧐. This was still the case yesterday(LAA Britford not Specsavers)

It appears that LAA have suspended day tickets for Britford due to the pandemic. Not clear if/when they may be available again☹️

Like many of my age😱, I’m a prescription glasses wearer and cheap off the shelf Polaroid’s are not an option. Currently each change of prescription see’s me relieved of £250 plus for a new pair of fishing sunnies. On recommendation, I invested in a pair of Cocoon Aviator overfit glasses which...

Lee. I had another look at the Tackle Box Solar bobbins on offer. There are indeed Glo bobbins that are battery powered, but also various sizes of the Classic bobbins which I have used for twenty odd years. They are hollow allowing an isotope to be inserted Apologies if that isn’t what you’re...

Noticed a few days ago that The Tackle Box, Dartford ,Kent , had some early Solar ones on clearance . Not sure which colours were available, may be worth visiting their website.

Thanks Phil. Please let me know how you would like payment made and I will give you my postal details. Rarely lucky with classified items on here so quietly chuffed. Kev

Hi Phil. I'd be very interested in the spools if still available . Kev
