    Disgorger

    Still using the disgoger I found on the bank 5 years ago, nothing special about it, in fact, it’s a bad one, slip off the line every time I use it, so always took me a while to unhook a fish. If this is a nonslip one, I think I will get a few.

    One for the North Western aficionados?

    This guy on eBay sells a lot of north western blanks, including the one you have, maybe you can drop him a message and ask about the blank...

    Barbel Float Rod Blank

    Tough one since there are not many blanks available for that purpose. Top of my head is free spirit 15 blank, of course you can get Harrison Gti su, but, that blank is so out dated, I mean, it’s really heavy.

    Ebay

    I have sold a few things (not rods) on eBay since they removed the selling fee, I received the full price, it’s all went well I should say. I use my own carrier though. Not just list, also no commission fee now.

    Ebay

    There’s no fee for private seller now, so Graham will receive the full price.

    Harrison Torrix 12ft 1.25lbs T.C

    They never did and such blank never exist. Mark tunely did build a 11ft torrix 1.25 by cutting the butt off from the 12ft.

    Harrison Torrix 12ft 1.25lbs T.C

    The Harrison Avon is completely different from 12ft torrix 1.25. And it is not 1.25, more like 1.4lb, good blank though.

    Harrison Torrix 12ft 1.25lbs T.C

    Well, unfortunately or maybe fortunately, there is no 11ft 1.25 torrix, and even there is, the action will be different.

    SOLD: Allcocks Match Aerial 4 1/2"

    Clive posted it on FB but sold it here. But as you said it doesn’t matter.

    Harrison Torrix 12ft 1.25lbs T.C

    No, not floppy at all, tippy is what I would say. The rod is powerful in the mid to butt and I doubt not many chub can put bend it. I think this blank is very good for power float work.

    Ebay

    From my understanding, only the buyer pays the fee. Seems it will automatically added to the listing price, so the seller has no control over it.

    Centre pin protective pouch

    If on the rod, jw young neoprene reel pouch, I found it is better than the mill tackle one as the reel has less space to move and the neoprene is thicker than the padding of mill tackle’s pouch. Off the rod, very rare, but when I have to, the reel first in the pouch, and same as Ian, I put it...

    Free spirit River Tamer 11ft 1.5

    It's not that light, I think it is between 1-1.25lb TC. The light tip is definitely not too light for chubbing, I always use 1oz tip in the winter with FS rod. The tip doesn't involve too much when playing a good fish because of the through action, when the rod bends, the tip is almost straight.

    Free spirit River Tamer 11ft 1.5

    I have the solitude light quiver rod, I am well impressed with it, and the quiver is interchangeable with FS quiver.

    Free spirit River Tamer 11ft 1.5

    Nice rod, very soft and sensitive. I also have the 11ft 2lb barbel rod, also very good. The only problem I have is the handle, like Kevin said, it’s thin, I think it even thinner than darent valleys. But maybe you will get used to it.

    Chasing chub....

    If you after the off the shelf floats for long trotting, I don’t think you can find better options than David Harrell bolo. But currently my favourite is Andrew Burt’s floats, looking forward to try Richard’s work.

    Gamma POLYFLEX High Performance Copolymer Line

    I have tried it before, tbh, I don’t think it is any better than the Gardner copolymer line.
