Thames is a hard river to fish, especially the up and middle sections. There are lots of chub and bream, but not many barbel. And a lot stretch’s are featureless, so finding the potential underwater features is crucial. I know a guy find a deep hole with the deeper and caught a 19lb barbel...

I have drennn, Gardner and tacklebox one. Drennan no doubt is the lightest one, but you need to be careful with it. I once put a weed cutter on it and try to cut the overgrown grass on the bank, and the first section pulled out when I tried to cut a thick area. Tacklebox is heavier but decent...

Well, I’ve been thinking about getting a deeper for a while, but after trotting the swim a few times, I kind of know it well now. I don’t like the lead idea, especially if you want to use it to find deep holes etc.

Not my top choice, tbh, too heavy to hold all day long.

I use hardy marksman Avon for touch ledgering and rolling meat. I do have chimera Avon and torrix 1.75, but still prefer the action of hardy.

Yeah, had the same issue since today. I am sure it was fine yesterday

I wouldn’t use any acolyte float rods for ledgering as they are too delicate for leads, even the specimen. Link ledgering is fine, but I don’t think that’s the method you want to use? I also wouldn’t use chimera no1 or MT’s float rods, way too strong imo, unless you are targeting big fish...

Received the float today just before I am heading to the airport, so only had a quick look of them, first impression is the quality is very good, love the long and wide tips. Will give them a go when I back

Damn, I am away for a few weeks, guess I will miss the deal.

Yeah, 1.25 is what Andy said. But it means nothing really, remember torrix 1.25 is stronger than the 1.5?

Hopefully there will be enough interest for him to proceed

Nice rod, should come with a cork handle. And can’t believe you found a 15.6 sphere. How lucky you are!

Oh, no problem. PM sent.

Do you have 6g, 8g available? If yes, Id have to have 3, 4,6 and 8g. 2 for each size, orange tip.

It is, I use mine with the pin a lot, nice combo.

I’m I have both 11ft tamer and 11ft seeker, the seeker is a cracking rod, I still think it is the best 11ft barbel rod out there. The action is similar to the tamer, true through action with strong butt but better blank, slimmer and more responsive. And the handle is normal size.

I have the fast net, good size, good net depth, but I would not recommend it unless you have no other options. The carabiner clip broken on the first use, the folding mechanism is not easy to operate when folding the net. The whole folding block is just plastic, and doesn’t feel very strong, I...

I have one rod with similar build, but it is standard IPS seat. Very comfortable, should be standard on all high end float rods. Not my photo, but same rod. Mine is in the storage room atm since I don’t use it very often these days.

never know they made super light in this size, is it a customer one?

I think I saw people catching on FB
