    Daiwa tournament pro 13/15 match rod

    No problem! I’d agree if it was mainly Barbel Pete was looking to catch but as it’s mainly chub with the occasional Whisker the barbel trotting rods might be a bit on the heavy side I have a 14’ Spectron xp that’s a great barbel trotter but I’d always rather use my acolyte if I can.

    Folding landing nets

    I’ve got the Korum folding spoon, its decent but its shape when it’s folded makes it a pain to carry in a rod hold all or a rucksack

    Gone Fishing is back

    I think they might have known that people would realise it wasn’t really filmed around Christmas and hoped that we’d suspend disbelief for half an hour in the interests of a bit of festive fun Not unlike everyone celebrating the virgin birth of baby Jesus and Father Christmas coming down the...

    How much longer ????

    There’s quite a few of these sorts of rods around now, used with a big spooled feeder or mini big pit carp reel to cast feeders very long distances on big waters for bream. I have a cheap Shakespeare 14’ continental feeder and it’s a great rod for the money. The match men love the free...

    Holdall

    If it’s the one I’m thinking of I use one of these for big Bream fishing. I was looking for something in between the drennan two Rod and the big carp holdalls. It can carry 2 made up rods and two in their bags which suits me if I’m fishing three rods and using a spod or marker rod. Like you...
