    What are you favourites hooks?

    Welcome to the forum John. I’m another fan of Gardner target hooks but tend to use size 8 or 10 so can’t comment on the sizes you’re asking about. I’ve used talon tips in larger sizes for carp/cats and they’re sharp and strong.

    Interchangeable weights

    Drennan used to do something similar…a stem with interchangeable screw on weights. I think a simple nylon link with shot and/or putty is simple…or for bigger leads a quick change clip

    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    I know what you mean about the drennan, and the fact it was unstable on the bank once you unclipped the unhooking mat. The Korum roversack sits on the bank lovely, it’s not going anywhere and everything is easily accessible from the top flap. A real winner IMO….there’s a few things Korum have...

    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    3rd time out with this set up now, for short sessions when I just nip over the fields for 2-3 hrs. Korum roversack which I’m loving, takes a small tackle box/bait/flask/scales etc and unhooking mat strapped to the top plus net and bank stick strapped to the side. Plus Drennan rod sleeve with...

    Daiwa air Z ags 14ft float rod

    Don’t let acolyte tip breakages put you off…did this myself once, completely my fault having it bent at an acute angle whilst unhooking a fish. I’d suggest most acolyte tip breaks are down to user error, they are very capable rods when treated sensibly, the whole range

    Fox Kevlex Extreme Multi tip Rods

    I didn’t realise it was the specialist version….so yes Jim’s right no good for barbel but great chub rod

    Fox Kevlex Extreme Multi tip Rods

    There’s been one on eBay for £750 for yonks…. Not worth anything near that which is why it’s not selling. There lovely versatile rods and I love mine but £240 is probably about the going rate. But ask yourself if you’ll use all 3 tip sections? If yes then might be worth a punt… they will...

    Harrison Advanced Rods

    My advice Russ would be to not rush into a purchase without being 100% sure of your needs. From another post of yours I think you have some good gear that will catch you fish…so spend a season using the gear on the rivers you will target and work out what you think their weaknesses are (if any)...
