    Classified thread.

    I use Gumtree a bit and have never had a problem apart from saying "collection only" then being asked how much to post it mate and of cause "Will you take?" I think it is a more local area site rather than national but not sure.

    Butt length below reel

    Anthony I have a Nash Barbel Elite and I like the lenth of handle it has. I've recently got a pair of Free Spirit barbel rods that have much longer handles which I feel are more in line with what would be termed a " specialist rod " and although the rods do feel balanced the extra lenth can get...

    Fixing isotopes

    It is the 1.75 I have Bill. I don't know if its the same blank as the old specialist or not but what I will say is that the Spirit Barbel has quite a long handle more akin to a specialist rod in my opinion than a barbel rod. The handles are the same lenth as the Hi-s specialist but the blank is...
