Looks to me like a 'black arrow' but possibly rerung as I think the wippings where a yellow gold colour. It should have the name and logo just above the handle,if it hasnt it could well be a local rod in a sealy bag as it was not umcommon for local dealers to create thier own rods using blanks...

Go to the local pound shop or gardening center,but one of those little foam pads that you kneel on and place that on the snow/frost then feet on top. Works a treat. Ken

George Nick Giles Nature of Barbel is a great book and a bit different,and to be fair not to everyones cup of tea. I really enjoy any Fred J books and those of David Tipping a Local Yorkshire angler has written a couple of great books covering some classic coarse fishing situations.Small stream...

I has ordered one of these from my local tackle shop(subject to trial) and when we set it up in the shop this afternoon I was very disappointed. Like John says stiff as a poker more an out and out Barbel rod than a light quiver. However the package gives excellent value for money and if...

After breaking a foot a few years ago and still suffering from a number of past motorcycle stunts I thought wearing wellies was a thing of the past. However I recently invested in a pair of Derwents and must say they are really comfortable ,good to walk in have a good grip and were extremly warm...

Spot on mate but they only have XXL and they would be way to big. Ken

My current Chub bib and brace is wearing a bit thin.Thye have performed really well over the last three years. I know that they have been discontinued but does anyone know where I could get a new pair,large size? Cheers Ken.
