It's on fb now. Nice pics too.

sounds formidable in the extreme. Almost makes me wish I needed one! Good luck. Sounds brilliant.

Yes great reels. I had quite a few rb versions in all 3 sizes. Far superior imho to the white and black stradics. Only sold when replaced by the biomaster s/ra which are a bit lighter and seem of equal quality.

This was the first Hardy I actually ever saw and waggled. Fell in love with the marksman there and then. Probably had all the supero range save the barbel. Not all were great I thought but the floats were. My favourite was the 13 extreme float. Never went longer but still admire the 15. A very...

Yep, if they can't be returned or killed what happens to them?. Probably they get older and become politicians, ie no use to man nor beast.

Both when I met him and in an article on Thomas turner Dave coster said quite emphatically that the blanks did not change between the two ranges, to all intents and purposes the rings only. His brief was to shave a bit of money off for the launch of the supero. Minor changes, different colours...

Yep. Still got and free to anyone who wants

I think they are part of the same group who own fox. I was told a new seat swab for my superlite chair was out of stock and on back order and no idea of delivery, if ever. Turned up in 3 weeks. Fitted yesterday.

U usually smells of accountants sharp pencils when obvious pluses are omitted.

I have no knowledge of Fox rods so cant add anything specific about the pricing at all. What I do know from observation of the used rod market is that both values and volumes have fallen of late. That, imho ,is due to one of two things. Firstly the general economic climate and secondly...

You might want to look at 2 pack acrylic paints. I have quite a few 1980/90's polaris floats which are shinny black and have an extremely hard paint finish. They do not crack, obviously hard wearing too. I use them extensively, much superior to the later models, balsa etc. Inquiries of a float...

Really depends where the rod makers put the join. Not all 12" are 6ft each.. And particularly with feeders when shorter. Can be a pain . I want the butt to be a little longer than the tip, to protect it obviously but doesn't always happen.

Don't worry, I am just softening you up for the big hit!

Yes that sounds a great method. I used nail varnish but your method appeals. I will try it shortly. Thanks for suggestion.

yes Cliff, that's what I think happens ie the fish push to blighters out of the way. Did I read correctly that when they go soft shell twice a year the carp eat them? ps the TSI has had some nice mid double carp lately. The handle was looking a bit sad, so I found my old brummer cork stopper...

Didn't know that but not surprised.

in or out of the tin Alan?

I thought I would beat them with plastic hook baits. They eat those too. So tried a short 6" hook link with a floating bait. They pull those down too.

I should say further, that particularly on the quiver, nuisance from crayfish is easy to detect. If still going on after 15/20 mins and then stops( as all bait devoured) I will re bait but often , a carp will take what's left it and I question whether it says to itself, , "what's that little...

Carp will I know.
