Normark avengers are fantastic float rods for barbel, light, responsive and enough power to land big fish.

I'm going to have to miss it again this year :-( taking the mother up to the lakes on that day.

Does it have a serial number on? Eg RNAM1563

I think the thing to think about is the pace of the flow, if it's faster you will get away with much stronger gear as the fish don't get much chance to sus it out. Was interesting, fished a swim yesterday wich was shallow and fast, I could watch the fish taking the bait! Some of them turned and...

Had one occasion on the Trent catching on the float, fish around 6lb, every time a bigger fish was hooked the spade cut the line so swapped to eyed hooks and couldn't get a bite! After half an hour swapped back to a spade and hooked a fish first run down. I've never had the same problem on the...

I use 9lb guru n gauge on the pin, it's super strong. it would usually be too brittle for this type of fishing but the combination of the pin and float rod seems to work well. I have tried a heavier set up but much prefer the feel of the lighter. I do pull out of a few fish but I think you...

So the moon can move the sea but it can't have an efect on fish? Personally I don't pay any attention to it and will always go fishing whenever I get the chance but I do believe there could be something in it. Ask any carp angler about full moons and big commons.

By you've got to be quick to get a reply in round here eh mike!

Chas burns, hooks and tackle in york if that's not too far for you Andrew

Not sure nick mine are black with red rings round each eye serial no RNAM 1563 I'm lucky, came across a 13 and 14 together, also picked up a 12 wich should be spot on for the shallow water. They do bend but have more than enough power to handle barbel. Still a few come up on ebay john.

I use normark avengers, great rods with plenty of power and still light enough to use for smaller fish.

Just picked up my chimeras built by chas burns in york. He's done a great job, the rods look fantastic! Opted for a 2 and 3, went for the 3 instead of the flood n snag as I thought the extra length would be usefull in flood conditions, keep the line away from bank side vegitation. I'd say the 3...

Most commercials have a fishery pellet only rule, mainly I think to get an extra £2 on each day ticket! Nearly always low oil skretting type pellets. As has already been said trout pellets were popular a few years back but most places don't alow high oil pellets now.

Tawny owl Bill, great to see such a shy bird up close and not bothered by my presence.

Just back to the red light white light thing, I walk the dog along the river at night. On windy nights there's an owl that comes down for shelter and sits on a branch about head hight. The first time I saw it it spooked off my head torch and flew off. Spoke to my dad who said try red light it...

We had the same on a 500yd stretch of the wharfe! Apparently done by the land owner to prevent flooding. A lovely overgrown bit of river reduced to bare banks, All this was done in spring with no regard for nesting birds.

Thanks for that Ricky, not too far from me so might have a ride down to have a look at one. I take it your happy with the rod?

I'm looking for one of these second hand before I bite the bullet and have one made!

Lovely carp that Steve! A1, beating my pb twice, first with an 11.14 then with a 12.8. Also spending more time watching fish and some great days on the float. A2, none really, I love every minute of it! A3, looking foreword to more of the above! Fishing with good friends and as much bank...

Such very sad news to come home to, RIP Keith
