Check out the hardy marksman rod blank tests....

I only got 4 squeaker chub, so you blew me out Graham! To be honest though, I was really trying to get a barbel. Reason for trying so hard to catch a barbel is because it's so cold and i'm curious how low a water temperature I can tempt one to take my bait on float gear. I have been presenting...

Those are belters Graham! My chub weren't so nice as your ones, mine were only squeakers, so I thought best to put the pic of the barbel 😉.

I must have a screw loose lol....the air temp when I rolled up at the river today was 5 degrees, I think the river was 3 or 4 degrees so I wasn't brimming over with confidence! Anyhow, I fished fron 12.50pm till 2pm and was pleasantly surprised with the result over such a short period of time. I...

That's a bargain price !

If I hadn't already got 12 of them i'd be all over yours Graham!

Those rods are pure class ! Even the bags and tubes are top quality. The alloy rod blank plugs are a really nice touch also 😎.

Thanks Tom, it’s one of CL’s creations…4 1/2inch floatmaster SU, ( stepped up line lays etc).

What a horribly cold and windy day it is today, why on earth I decided to go trotting a float in these conditions beggers belief! The river was very low and probaby as clear as it gets, so not what most people would consider to be ideal conditons. I decided to fish on a tidal section of river...

Thanks George 😎👍.

Ok, one last price drop incase anyone is on the fence.... £145 posted. Incase anyone is wondering how capable these reels are, here is an example of what I caught with it when I used it...

Hey, thanks Cliff, good to hear from you bud🙂. Fingers crossed you and Tom have a good one over the weekend 👍.

Well done you, thats another crumper ! Even better on your new rod 😁👍.

Thanks Dave 👍.

You can do exactly the same thing with an ordinary drag, front or rear drag as with the QD. The only difference is it takes more roatation of the drag. The fighting drag on some of the shimano reels, is imo a much better option than the front quick drag drag. If you have any of them set soft...

I Thanks for that Richard 👍. I think catching barbel in cold temp's is down to a mixture of things.... knowing the water your fishing, how the fish respond to the conditions and what triggers them into feeding because you may only have a short window of opportunity when they do go on the...

Yea, can't argue with that Graham, might as well get rid of one of his arms as well 😉😂🤣.

It was good sport Richard, but no way i'd give any of my nuts up for it 😱🖕....😂.

Thanks Cliff 👍. Apparently the river temp is 4 degrees so I think i've just dropped on and been lucky.

I tried my hardest Graham 🤣👍.
