Now, I am extremely interested in Leszek Delag aka Watermole’s reel, although I have no idea how to order from him yet (maybe through vintage fishing tackle forum?) his work is amazing. I would say definitely on par with Chris.

I use the Speedo bait caddy, it has a removable divider so you can have different baits, a hard bottom to maintain the shape, but the upper is soft so picking things is not a problem, only down side is it doesn’t have a cover.

12ft 1.25 torrix is a very tippy rod IMO. It has a sensitive tip and softish first 1/3, the butt is powerful, definitely stronger than the 1.5 version.

Some manufacturers glue the spliced tip, at least I know drennan did on one of their feeder rods. In general, a spliced tip is basically a fine solid tip that put in through the back of the top section and fixed with wrapping etc.

Thanks Steven, its the product Ive been looking for years, and after look around the website, I thing I will get this since it is more comfortable to carry. https://www.nitehawkproducts.co.uk/98675-nitehawk-camo-swivel-hunting-bucket-seat-backpack.html

Richard didn’t glue his tip as far as I know. And I think you are right, you will need to reapply the epoxy after removing the tip. BTW, I don’t think hot water is hot enough to remove the tip.

I’ve been told by a rod builder that you can remove glued splice tip by heating the joint part, but that’s a hard job and require some experience, so I never tried it, but in theory it should work.

I should make myself clear, sorry for the confusion. I also have the stool, maybe that is my most used seat

No, flat. The trailer nano chair has long extendable front legs, but very short back legs, it should work well for steep banks but for flat bank, seems not so comfortable?

Is Savay lake still fishable due to the HS2? I heard that it is like a building site now?

How do you sit on that if the bank is flat?

so it’s the milk and marine flavour? Does this mean there will be more flavours?

The guides are definitely lighter than normal ones, I weighed the first two sections of the 13ft rod I have, same weight as the acolyte specimen, but the wall of the blank is much thicker, I assume the ags guides saved a lot weight.

Yeah, that’s what I meant, your normal guides can bend, but this thing, if not look after correctly, will snap, take some force though.

I suppose we all did something wrong in the past.

They are, so very light, but not as strong as metal I think.

That’s my problem with daiwa ags guides, they are light and smooth, but damn frail, and it’s the first time in my life I saw a warning/user guide for the rod guides.

I don’t think there are a list within your budgets, grice & young is another choice.

Well, if you are after the vintage one, with your budget, trudex and speedia are the only choices you have.
