    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

    Wellies

    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...

    Pin advice
