The tackle box one is really good. https://tacklebox.co.uk/luggage/rod-and-reel-luggage/tackle-box-11ft-slim-skeletal-protective-rod-sleeve/ If you are using large reel, cadence also do 11ft sleeves but imo too chunky.

Thats chimera no1? Or the 11ft version that discontinued for a while? I’ve only seen one people mentioned the 1.5lb Avon so I wasn’t sure if it was a thing.

11ft, I heared it once.

According to Harrison website, there is only one chimera avon 1.25lb. 1.4lb is 1lb4oz which is 1.25lb.

You need to check the delivery time, some are very quick some are slow.

I bought these when they first came out as well. Great staff.

The most underrated reel IMO.

I bought a pair of new on eBay for 100 few months ago, great reel.

Check Chris Brown landing net.

I am actually rather disappointed with the drennan specimen rod and the quiver. Not the rod, they are good, but the drennan’s marketing, I somehow feel they just split the old dual tip rods into two different rod. But yeah, if you could, support the local shop is a great thing to do.

Thames is a hard river to fish, especially the up and middle sections. There are lots of chub and bream, but not many barbel. And a lot stretch’s are featureless, so finding the potential underwater features is crucial. I know a guy find a deep hole with the deeper and caught a 19lb barbel...

I have drennn, Gardner and tacklebox one. Drennan no doubt is the lightest one, but you need to be careful with it. I once put a weed cutter on it and try to cut the overgrown grass on the bank, and the first section pulled out when I tried to cut a thick area. Tacklebox is heavier but decent...

Well, I’ve been thinking about getting a deeper for a while, but after trotting the swim a few times, I kind of know it well now. I don’t like the lead idea, especially if you want to use it to find deep holes etc.

Not my top choice, tbh, too heavy to hold all day long.

I use hardy marksman Avon for touch ledgering and rolling meat. I do have chimera Avon and torrix 1.75, but still prefer the action of hardy.

Yeah, had the same issue since today. I am sure it was fine yesterday

I wouldn’t use any acolyte float rods for ledgering as they are too delicate for leads, even the specimen. Link ledgering is fine, but I don’t think that’s the method you want to use? I also wouldn’t use chimera no1 or MT’s float rods, way too strong imo, unless you are targeting big fish...

Received the float today just before I am heading to the airport, so only had a quick look of them, first impression is the quality is very good, love the long and wide tips. Will give them a go when I back

Damn, I am away for a few weeks, guess I will miss the deal.

Yeah, 1.25 is what Andy said. But it means nothing really, remember torrix 1.25 is stronger than the 1.5?
