Still think it's a shame Mark won't do a custom on this... I don't particularly like the orange tips and id prefer different rings.... Which got me thinking they are already premade, in China?

That's how I do it too. Depending on the bs, half the Down to the up. Ie 8 up and 4 down...

That's what I have been using since these Ronnie clips came out. The only slight difference, is I use korda fluorocarbon boom as the bood section...

I have always been an advocate of British forces lightweight goretex jackets and trousers, always been absolutely fantastic for the money. A minus was no hood on some jackets... last month I was given at a bargain price some of the new Trakker TechnPro waterproof jackets and trousers. I fished a...

It is, put if you put the effort in tying the knots etc and finding out which knot, gives you the best breaking strain etc. It isn't... be aware, one knot won't work, for every line.....

Everybody goes for the point,looking down river to Newark Castle. On a weekend, queing for pegs etc happens. There is a FB page. It's not my bag at all, but each to their own... are there any other stretches you fancy?

Still got the F1, never seen another. I had the 17/20 conny too. Great rod and was still good at 17, was also rated to 10lb line. With the advent of top and bottom sliders for deep water, suitable for the type of fishing I required, I moved it on. One I have rekindled a love of this year, is my...
