    Old centrepin - no longer required.

    Interesting last comment there Kevin, I assume that is in reference to the reel I purchased off you? I have a number of B James models, and all have been bought second hand, and all seemed to have loose check levers. In every case I have stripped the reels down and the issue has always been down...

    Float stock to clear.

    Thanks for the reply Richard, can I ask where you get them please?

    Float stock to clear.

    Hi Richard, when you say you are waiting for the tips to arrive, can you explain what you use please? On most of the float making videos I have seen people tend to use cane or wood tips which are part of the stem. I know you are using metal stems, but I haven't seen anyone else using separate...

    Really disappointing luggage.

    well just to keep people updated, absolutely nothing from Korum customer services - obviously don't care so that's one customer they have now lost.

    Crayfish

    Technically you are correct, but I am not returning them in reality. By separating the tail section I can remove the main body which can be discarded and just using the tail section which carries no eggs. Grey area I suppose but there we are.

    Crayfish

    I had experience on the Great Ouse with crayfish, and actually found that catching crays and using their tails by just removing the end flared scales, and giving them the occasional twitch worked really well. Had many big chub and perch on them. I also used to peel the shells off the tails and...

    Really disappointing luggage.

    Well a quick note to say nothing back apart from that initial email. Seems what others have previously mentioned about Korum customer service is true. 3 rods bags and £160 wasted, don't feel I can sell them because of the issues I have had, would feel awful if I sold them on and it happened to...

    Really disappointing luggage.

    had an initial email back yesterday saying it has been passed to the product manager - I will update if he gets back in touch.

    Really disappointing luggage.

    I have also had issues with new luggage, in my case some Korum products. I purchased a 3 rod progress holdall, a 2 rod version and managed to get a 2 rod transition holdall. I have had to replace a rod eye due to damage in the three rod version, and that has never been out of the house. the 2...

    6lb Eustace Pro gold wanted

    Hi Gavin, is that really the case? I used to use pro gold all the time, was as good as it gets, but then it became almost impossible to find so changed. Have tried a number of lines but nothing that ever equaled pro gold.

    Kingfisher chub blank

    is the blank like the one made by Mr Tunley, where the top section is the quiver tip, or is this just a normal three piece blank?

    Some advice required

    Hi Jeremy, that was generally what made them so unique, very few of their rods were ever the same. The would start with the standard blank for whichever type of rod you wanted, then the rest was up to the customer choice. My reel seat was fitted later as I could not get on with the rod rings so...
