Graham was fishing with me last Friday and he was bashing out the Roach whilst i was blanking on the Barbel ! We have plenty of pictures on...

    Grayling

    Yes i was wondering about the action of the rod ! I'm using a 14ft Drennan Acolyte Ultra which i thought would be perfect ? These fish are in quite fast water and maybe i need to be a bit more forceful with them as they seem to come off quite quickly ?
