Ive sent you a pm for info Robert

Thanks Bob, I remember I had one of the very first twin tip I powers years ago which was a carp style build with abbreviated duplon grips. I only ever used the 1.75lb tip which I found too soft. Sold it back to Claire F I’m sure? you mentioned the Evoke to me recently, sounds interesting, is the...

Some food for thought there Richard. I think for now Id be happy with a quality rod of either length but then maybe get my own build made up at a later date. Which 11ft Torrix do you have the 1.75 or the 2.00? And can I ask in what way they are 'different' Cheers

Thanks Terry, I have heard good things about that blank. I used to use an 11ft GTi in the old days. Just setting up again now and Id like to use a pair of rods at times to maximise my chances but do also ove just roving around with the minimum amount of gear and a lighter/shorter rod at times too.

Fishing a small stretch of the Bristol Avon so failry small, as for doubles, there could be one or two but I dont think Im going to see much action at all lol

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone was thinking of selling a good quality Barbel rod? Ive decided I'd like something Harrison based again, or maybe a Free Spirit... Ideally 11ft in length but am open to all offers or suggestions? Im based in Somerset/Wiltshire. Thanks in advance, Rob

great rods Clive, good price too

There’s a fox adjusta chair on eBay Id really like to buy but the seller won't post down to me and isn’t interested in me arranging collection. Does anyone live in or near Belper and could do me a favour… Cheers, Rob

Hi Dan, yes please if still available, sorry for delay I’ll message you now

I’m keeping an eye on eBay for the right one and I’ve messaged @Granville Brown but looking at some threads I think he probably sold his. You never know though! Cheers all

Thanks all, I’ll have a look around but would like a relly nice example if I can find one. My favourite reels ever were the Abu Suverans, In had a few of those but think the price has climbed too high to oook at presently. Cheers, Rob

I’m setting up again and am looking to re-buy some of my favourite items from years past. Would anyone have a mint condition Shimano 3500B they’d be willing to sell? Thanks in advance, Rob

Thanks both, looking into them now, There’s also the Daiwa SS2600 which has always been on my radar but I’ve never owned one, have always gone for something different in the end.

Thanks for the reply’s all I Thanks for the reply’s all Mike, I assume they’re very similar reels. I’m only thinking of the 4000d as I’ve seen a couple still available online new. Cheers, Rob

Hi all, I am starting afresh after a long break and need to kit myself out from scratch. I’m looking for a suit to match a Drennan Martin Bowler 1.75lb rod. Looking at possibly a Shimano 4000D or a Daiwa GS3000 Ltd but would appreciate any advice or other options Thanks in advance, Rob

Thanks Bob, we did. Not on the bank though. I popped over and bought a rod and a couple of reels a few years back during a failed comeback attempt lol

Hi all, Some of you may remember me from years ago (barbusg60) but I imagine there's lots of new faces on here that wont know me. I havent barbel fished for years but am hopefully joining a little local club that controls a stretch I enjoyed fishing in the old days. I havent got any of my old...

Morning Dave, it’s basically all of my hooks, swivels, clips and assorted end tackle I used for barbel and chub fishing. PM me your email, mobile number or WhatsApp and I can send some pics over if your interested? all good stuff, just not fishing anymore, apart from a bit of lrf on days at the...

Thanks Dave, pm on the way
