    Torrix or hi s rods

    I spoke to Chas a few times about building me a pair of C3 s gave him the specs I wanted and he was very unresponsive via text , waited ages for an answer which didn’t bode well ended up going to Dave Lumb who did a fantastic rod for a similar price

    Yeah I love mine , usually wear a thin pair and a thick pair ( I’m a nine and I bought a ten ) I paid £40 for mine which I still think is fantastic value you basically stole them for £30 🤪

    Hi Mike I’d say they are wide enough but I like my salopettes over the boot They are much heavier than my Muck boots Derwent , but there 8.5 mm neoprene so a lot warmer than the Derwents I don’t actually feel the extra weight when walking , they do feel like a solid construction though and...

    Mainline Cell

    Personally I think that’s how most decent baits work . It’s not the quality but the quantity that gets thrown in . I remember fishing a carp syndicate in the mid nineties and one rota were using Mainline Grange whilst the other rota were using fish meals birdfods etc By July it became very...

    Pin advice

    I decided a few weeks ago I didn’t want to sit behind a pair of static barbel rods all winter (apart from an odd trip to the Trent ) and I wanted to target Grayling on the Wharfe and Ure etc , to my mind a far more pleasant way to spend a winters day than huddled under a brolly .

    It’s going on an Acolyte Plus 14ft so should make a great combination, that’s how I read it , same as BJ but with a machined out back plate.

    Yeah probably bad choice of words there , the guy I bought the Youngs from as an Okuma that he uses all the time , says he can’t fault it I’ll probably put the cart before the horse and look at one next year 🤣

    Pin advice

    I managed to pick up a Youngs super light weight for around the same price as a new Okuma Sheffield I figured I might as well buy what I’ll end up with anyway and cut out the starter reel. Probably save money that way and if I don’t get on with it I’ll get most of my money back
