    Return of the Nash Nomad Chair

    Update on stats; The MkII is slightly wider as I thought; MkI is 20" across the seat/back. MKII is 21-1/2" across seat/back. I seem to have also guessed correctly that the MKII stands a little taller than the original. With both chairs standing next to each other; measured with the...

    guiding day with matt hayes

    Mike, Not my argument fella, but cannot see how/why Jon's comment could upset? I only read it as a 'tough choice' between the old and the new if you will? Guides that is! Apologies to both of you if indeed I miss read the post/s. BTW, I'd choose Wormy - only coz I've never fish the...

    Return of the Nash Nomad Chair

    Chris, Polite word of warning re the JRC X-low chair mate! A good friend of mine has/had that chair, third time out with it, he pushed himself up to play a hooked fish using one of the arms of the chair as you do. It snapped at the junction/bend of the arm leaving a very jagged edge...

    Return of the Nash Nomad Chair

    Hi Ian, Yes....and no!:D My brother (who currently lives with me) has bought our younger brother (who lives around the corner with his intended) one for Crimbo. It is currently 'hiding' here in my rod room. I also have 2 of the 'original' Nomad chairs here, so can give you the pro's...

    fred crouch centrepins

    Lewis, To be honest, it's doesn't really make that much difference mate. All my pins, but one, are wide drums. I use them for both trotting & Ledger work. Funnily enough, the one narrow drum centrepin I do own (my late fathers old Rapidex) I have only used for ledgering - as it's not...

    Reel choice

    These reels do look quite interesting! I like the retro look they have. What's the line-lay like, could any of you kind chaps put a piccy of a filled spool up for me please? Many thanks in advance. Daz.

    Ikonix centre pin reel

    Perhaps I did Bill? I certainly nearly give him a heart attack the day I came out of the pantry and into the kitchen with a fully loaded side-b-side twelvey and asked, "Are we going rabbitin today Grandy"? $$$$HHHH@@@@.....:eek: I was about six and 'obviously' a proper big game hunter by...

    Ikonix centre pin reel

    Rhys, I shouldn't let it worry you mate, do what feels right for you I say... Either with float or lead, I VERY rarely feel the need to hold the pointy end. Holding the tackle with your free-hand won't aid in stopping over-runs, the thumb of your rod-hand controls this on the lip of the...

    Ikonix centre pin reel

    Aah Chris... My Dear old Grandad Billy had one of those when I was a little fella (late 60's, early 70's?) Proper countryman he was, could make anything, grow anything, build anything, catch anything, shoot anything, train gun dogs and break horses etc, etc... I owe him so much and...

    trakker clothing

    Agree with other posters on the Trakker Bundle = total poo! Bought one 4-5 yrs back on recommendation of a 'friend'? First time out in the rain - I'd of been dryer if I'd of jumped in the bloody river! I named it the Trakker Tea Bag...bin! Never again! I'll stick with...

    A bi poar barbel session this morning

    Stuart, Very good and honest reply to my post. Let me assure you and others on this thread, I have no personal axe to grind with yourself or any other poster here. Why should I? I don't know you personally, or you me! Tho we have met - but I was just another face in the crowd at yet...
