    Which reel

    The emblem br25a is too big for 12ft 1.75 rod, it would suit 2.25-3lb better.

    Which reel

    Shimano 4000oc/4000d bait runner are solid choice.

    New Normark Rods

    The power version of conny is a really powerful and well balanced rod, I tried it in the shop another day and very impressed. I also feel the light rod is much nicer when trotting, it just makes things much easier. The weight of the rod do matters, even it is well balanced.

    Tournament pro bu. Very well balanced rod.

    New Normark Rods

    Yeah, it’s the same weight as the 15ft daiwa, and less powerful I assume? I believe this is due to the extension. My experience is that the rod with an extension tends to be heavier, you may also noticed that the 12ft is heavier than the 13ft

    Why Korum, why?

    IMO, it’s terrible PR. I can see the use of this net holder thing, it can be useful when you resting the fish in the net, not necessary, but can be useful some times.

    Any one tried this insurance company?

    Why Korum, why?

    Korum has some really nice kits, what I like and using are: quick mat folding quiver Bolt and run kit Glide line Roving ruckbag Loaded Blox Compact bait waiter I have a mixed feeling of their landing nets, I like the concept behind those nets, but the quality is poor, can’t risk another snap...

    Why Korum, why?

    Not to mention that barbel wallet, I mean what’s wrong with them, too much money to burn?

    A ban on lead in fishing?

    https://evolvetackle.com/product-category/weights/ Not sure what material they use, but they claim their weights are lead free.

    Chimera 3 rod 2.25. First thoughts.

    The basia is imo, the best barbel blank out there. Chimera no3 is more through action than basia, but it has a really powerful of butt section, I actually think the tc of no3 is more like 2.5.

    A ban on lead in fishing?

    I never heard the idea of dropping the lead, and don’t see why. But if it is the case that’s the most stupid thing in angling history.
