I like a bargain, I also like nice, high quality stuff so it’s good to read about both and be able to search for it later when I’m looking to buy.
I also get a bit of a vicarious thrill from reading people talking about and getting nice gear. Sad, but true.
Love the Spectrons, I've had a few and they've all been great rods.
I lost the bag for an M2 13' waggler, they sent me a better replacement straight away post-free.
It’s just not in some of them is it?
One of my sons loves it, the other doesn’t understand why we go, even though he’s been to some lovely spots and caught some beautiful fish, and he’s the one I’d have thought would be the angler
We’re lucky that theres plenty of niche stuff on YouTube and elsewhere the internet these days.

I did more tenching this year when I was able to get out, it wasn’t the...
Same, very light and comfortable, although I’m about 11 stone so it doesn’t need to be as robust
I use it for carrying all my gear as well - jacket unhooking mat and small tackle box and bait
We’ve got it good here compared to some places. In Croatia on holiday the second week the local forecast got everyday completely wrong, heavy rain every day when it was clear blue skies. When I asked the hotel reception they shrugged their shoulders and smiled.
I’ve also noticed the bbc...
Brilliant and top Dadding! A special moment he’ll never forget.
My two caught their first Barbel this Summer, the pleasure they get from fishing is great to see at that age. No phones, devices or tv 👍
