I’m not personally bothered and find it hard enough as it is to take a selfie holding a fish without trying to hold a fake smile. Setting the timer running back, picking it up while hoping its not going to jump…all adds to the stress & the serious look i guess!
What does bother me is the trend...
If the bank ‘IS NOT’ flat you mean? I fish the Severn with notoriously steep banks but have always found a bit of ground that is flat enough to use it! You only need about a foot square area so there is always somewhere (even if you stamp a bit of flat ground). I’m 6’2” and its really comfy as...
Really annoying trend with chairs these days. Think they design them so that you’ve got head room in a bivvy but for anyone taller than a Christmas elf, you might as well sit on the floor. I find myself standing up most of the time, especially on the River but have ended up buying a Shakespeare...
Going to be putting these on Ebay in the new year but thought i’d offer them on here first if anyone is interested?
About 3 years old but only used on 3, two day trips to Windermere so excellent condition.
Will put photos on if any interest
Collection only from Crewe £120 for the pair
So these shots are real?? I thought they were superimposed as every shot looks like a calendar picture! Almost too good to be true!
If thats the case, how lucky you are!
Yes both 200’s. Loved it back in the day but found the traffic & state of the roads made it less enjoyable. You’ve got to thrash them everywhere to keep up nowadays. With no indicators & drum brakes it’s not much fun!
I’ve had loads of Lambrettas in my time (wish i’d kept some!) i wondered how you managed to get banned on an LD (wouldn’t be speed related!) until i realised you were 14 🤦🏼🤣
I ‘fish for everything’ so limit myself to a point as i have “far too much gear” (my wifes words). I spend £100-200 on rods & up to £150 on reels and dont feel as i am missing out on anything quality wise. I looked around a new carp water the other week trying to find out about it’s Perch...
Have a look/feel Richard. Think you might be pleasantly surprised. Such a crisp feeling rod! On the strength of the float rod i also bought the 11’6” feeder rod which is probably the best tip rod for stillwater roach & bream there is! (IMHO of course!)
No sorry, mine is 13’ float 3-10g about 6 years old now. They've just ‘upgraded’ them i see so not sure if the waggler rod is the same one? Noticed they do 13,14 &15 lengths tho. Not seen the new ones but imagine they are same/similar
Nobody mentions the Preston Supera X range of rods for trotting? I sold my Acolyte Ultra as i found it too floppy with no backbone at all. Bought the 13’ Supera X (matched with the Centris 320 reel) and i find it the most balanced set up i’ve used by far. Gorgeous light rod (with a flat spot on...
