I might be wrong and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am but I think the Okuma Martin bowler is the same as the Sheffield made from magnesium which makes it lighter. I think you'll not notice the difference between it and the Sheffield, and the Sheffields are about half the price and much...

Thanks very much, pretty conclusive then 😆

Thanks. I was looking at the 4x4 Superb which gets great reviews. My Mrs wont buy the same car as her sister though, too much sibling rivalry going on!

Hi Jon Same question to you about cabin noise, we’re looking at a Passat as a compromise between comfort and fishing space (she actually wants a 5 series estate!) how do the Passat and qashqai compare?

Hi Jon What’s the cabin noise like in the XC70? I’m looking at a new fishing car but my partner wants something that’s quiet for some longer motorway trips we do quite regularly

Joe is spot on Chimera 2s are excellent short to mid range tench rods matched with those reels. There a bit soft for anything longer range but should do you very well Your chimera 3s will be good for shorter range spombing. I have one of the Tackle box spod and marker rods Joe linked to and...

Done

Sounds amazing. As does what they’re doing there these days to get it back to its best

Fair point, very well made 👍 I do like the feeling buying quality new fishing rods and reels brings unfortunately. It hardly happens these days and now I’m laid up I can’t justify it at all, but it’s always been part of fishing for me, rightly or wrongly. Sadly, I now get vicarious pleasure...

Joe, Bill There’s an article in the new Tenchfishers bulletin that talks about mouth damage and the Tench in Sywell a while back. You’re both probably aware of it

Joe, by referencing consumerism when discussing Adam’s purchasing of fishing rods he won’t use, and then talking about the “enormous externalized environmental cost” that consumerism has you are suggesting that he’s contributing to the problem in an immoral way, however small that may be Truth...

I know spending money on luxuries doesn’t sit well with our more conservative instincts but “wasting” money on free spirit or Harrison rods hand built by quality builders is not contributing to the moral collapse of society. Businesses, especially small ones are facing very uncertain times, the...

I’m recovering from spine surgery after months of being immobile so I’ll be happy with any sort of fishing.

Great stuff. I’d buy some if there was ever any chance I’d use them, they are a thing of beauty. They do look like something the MOD might be interested in buying. If you ever get bored with catching huge fish a lucrative career in R&D awaits

I have a barely used 14’ Daiwa Spectron M2 XP, which is a fine Barbel trotting rod, that I’m putting in the classifieds next week.

Adam, you might try selling these on maggotdrowning.com, they’ll go in no time

I agree it’s short-sighted but we are talking about a very small percentage of their sales being discussed on here, and I don’t think the vast majority of people who buy mid-price fishing gear will complain if it’s faulty, especially over time. We should but there’s a tacit understanding these...

unfortunately businesses will spend as little on customer care as they can get away with For a relatively small business like Korum good customer care is expensive. In my experience they’ve got most of their business pretty spot on, we’re getting innovative decent quality gear at very good...

I get mine from Titmus in Wheathampstead, always been good quality and it’s 5 minutes away from the upper lea if I’m fishing there

I watched “walks that saved my life” last night. I really recommend it
