Thanks for your replies fella's. Yes Chris, general stick work for chub etc. Thats a serious bit of kit, love Drennan, but its a bit pricey as I also need to feed my overall angling obsession alongside this (only a fisherman would understand that!!! :-). Also, already have a 13 foot...

Thanks for the reply James. Can you still get hold of them, or are they one of the older (and some would say better) Drennan rods now out of production ?

Hi all, I have made a pact with myself to get back on the float when the new season starts again. I have a 13ft stick float rod which is great for the smaller rivers I fish, but would like something with a bit more reach and control for fishing the Swale and Ouse. I am not looking to win...

Today is my day off, I am off to the tackle shop, having a whacking great dinner, then its off to see if any barbs want to play. Guess I shall head back from the banks when I have a had my fix...or fish! :-)

River levels This is wonderful news for all the poor fisher folk in the Norf :) WE ARE GONNA BE RICH LADS! The overflowing banks of the Yorkshire Ouse shall see us all with custom rods in the near future (I have my order ready). With the small number of barbel in the Yorkshire Derwent, you can...

I hope you are not for a moment saying WE Yorkshire folk are tight Mark :-)))))) Stuart, I never thought of that!!! Doh! Cheers Mike, I shall check the link out now.

Hi all, does anyone have a set of quiver tips hiding in the garage for a John Wilson Avon Rod they might want to sell on. I have just broken the last one of mine on the bank! Batterd old chubbing stick that it is, there is life in the old dog yet, and I dont want to shell out for a new rod...

Hi Mark, I would go for the the Greys, mine is the older version of the Korum twin tip, even in its 1 3/4lb guise, I find it stiff as a poker. As I read in Graham Marsdens book on Barbel, if you pay the same price for a twin tip as you do for a single tip rod, chances are the quality of the...

Avon Rod Hi Andy, you have mail. Paul.

Anyone have a an 11ft 1.25lb quality Avon rod tucked away in the garage they would like to sell on?. Picture if possible, good price paid (to incl p&p). Regards, Paul.

Most of my kit is Korum. The specialist rods are bang on, a little less "pokey" than the twin tip. I have a 2lb job that is bang on for lobbing feeders out, great playing action also. Big confidence in this kit. UNLIKE the Fox 7000s, reel number three ready for the scrap heap, not under...

Thanks Ian, orderd, job done. Regards, Paul.

A shot in the dark, but hope you can help fella's. The handle on my shim 5000 gte is KAPUT. Does anyone have a 5000 with double handle that is no longer working, or indeed a shim double handle that would fit my reel that they would be willing to sell, or advice on where I might get hold of...

Once again, thank you for taking the trouble to reply fella's, really grateful for the advice. Paul.

To Dave, cheers for that info, that helps me make up my mind. To David! dont you think its hard enough already for me gawping at those lovley Shimano XTEA's. I have been eyeing up the lead on the local church roof after thinking "an hour up there and a trip to the local scrap yard could see...

I would value some information on the following fella's, Could you tell me the difference, if any (pros & cons) between the Shimano 5000 gte & the 5000 gte c. Good, bad or indifferent. I want to replace the reels that I use at present, but cant afford the XTEA jobs. We Yorkshiremen are not...

Double for me! :-). Use the bait runner Richard, it is actually very smooth and does the job perfectly, its just the switch snapping in half you have to watch out for :-))). Give them some stick, they will be fine. Makes me wonder if Fox shall perhaps re launch in the future with hopefully a...

Hi Richard, I have used and abused mine for two seasons, they look good, feel good, but I think the faults are based around using cheap materials, one has been replaced free of charge after the bait runner switch snapped in half, my local tackle shop have had lots back for other faults. Beats...
