I had the 12ft version some years ago. What a rod it was. True players waggler float rod and as slim as your little finger. It was awesome for a bit of tenching on the outside of the pads.

Bang on Jim. Dissolved oxygen levels in the water drop with the sunlight because aquatic plants, algae and weed etc stop producing oxygen at night.

Yeah those are a pain in my arse. They have the super stopper anti reverse bearings that slip. Yes I can fix them.

Yeah your dead on there, drives me mad when I hear “swam off strong no problem” because this usually only tells you part of the story. The other part of the story where the guy was practically carrying out cpr for half an hour just to keep it up right often doesn’t get mentioned

In all seriousness for anglers that prefer rear clutch reels with dual handles, my personal favourites are the GTM 3010/4010 reels. They never bettered these with the newer models of rear drag match reels imo. For 1 they gave them a bearing on both sides of the main gear This was downgraded...

I’m not really convinced competency in the angler makes the situation any better. If you have to stand in the middle of the river for 20 minutes keeping it upright and taking excessive steps to recover it enough to leave the anglers care on its own accord, then that’s just red flags as far as...

Bloody things😂 I hate stradics with a passion Nightmare to take apart and a total pig to clean up. I’m banning them from my service list 😂😂

Done Thanks Andy

My mrs insisted that we had a bit of colour in the pond but I was very firm on the fact that i didn’t want gold fish or colourful carp or anything like that and it had to be uk native so she came home from the garden centre with 2 tiny golden tench and popped them in. Made me chuckle because i...

If anyone has one and can’t get on with it or it’s bizarre visual appearance then please let me know with your best price. It’s the most recent version with the 3 handles and dual check pawl that i would like. Must be the 4.5” version Must be the black one Preferably I’d like it to come with...

8 weeks since the first of my 15 fish went in. We had 1 fatality early on. A tiny perch just didn’t make it for whatever reason I don’t know but everything else is growing really rapidly. At least 1-2 inches in length has been gained on the majority of them

I’m a bit lost with it too Chris. A couple of question marks wouldn’t have got a reply from me either as generally you would put an actual question before them

It’s a difficult rod to value because the length of it doesn’t appeal to a lot of float anglers despite it being the most expensive in the range when it was available. I would have no problem paying good money for a clean one because I like long rods and I’m quite partial to the spectron M2’s...

Upstreaming with a fixed lead would be one scenario where they would offer an advantage The delk hangers themselves are actually useful connected up even if they don’t move. They don’t even need to necessarily be clipped on the line. They flash to the audio bleeps coming from the alarm and can...

I’m going to be super critical Ian but i found this one detracts away from what i believe you are trying to accomplish Your first few videos with your pins on the table are excellent because the information was there and it was focused on the subject of centre pins This last one was to me was...

I’ve seen some videos of the Australians and Americans using them off boats with things like enormous Barras stripping the clutches. Unbelievable durability and quality in those reels. Us barbel anglers barely take them past tick over.

I think they sorted them out Jon to be fair I bought probably one of the very first to make the shops and that was replaced with no quibbles for another very early which again broke and was refunded no quibbles in full. Since then I know people that have bought them and had big fish no...

Very smart you big tart 😂

Paul My experience says the complete opposite. I had a free spirit 17ft power float and yes it was not a bad rod till you hooked something then it did snap ….. twice right through the middle of the tip section and the shop that sold mine told me I wasn’t the only one to return a broken one...

I have the 1lb 6oz Harrison Avon with a long spliced 2 oz carbon tip. No id never part with it but it’s really not difficult to get hold of and have built
