Does any tackle company do a single rod sleeve that holds a 5000 size reel not big pit size. With a pocket or 2 for bank sticks and net handle. Want a sleeve for protection due to brambles etc. small river one rod fishing but with a bit of added protection?

Ah thanks for the info Neil… looks like both rods could have been released around the same time. My initial thoughts were it being a fair bit older than that. Cheers for clearing that up.

This is the rod I was trying to find out about. Just wondering where on the Drennan Avon rods timeline these were on sale. The seller doesn’t know much, maybe selling for someone else. Initially I thought it was one of the super specialist duos, in which case I’d have bought it but then realised...

I bet! Real shame that.

Wow that rods definitely going back further than I was thinking! Shame about the damage though.

Thanks for the offer Neil. I’m ideally after a pair of 1.25 or 1.5’s. I’ve got a pair or series 7 Avon/quivers 1.25 which were ideal but I’ve managed to snap both of the Avon top sections!! So been after some replacements for those but that’s seeming impossible to source, hence looking at these...

Thanks for the reply Peter but it’s the series 7s I’m after. I already have a pair but have managed to snap both the Avon top sections so after replacements ideally

As above. Either after a pair or ideally just the 1.25 tc Avon top sections

As above, I’m looking for some info on the older Drennan Avon Rods, I’m sure a few of you will be more in the know than me. Forgetting the more recent specialist twin tip duos and even the series 7 Avon/ quiver rods. Prior to those I have a pair of super specialist Duo rods that I think were...

Hi Gary, I live very close to the wandle and have fished it on and off for most of my life. Although I’m currently not a Morden hall member I have been in the past and still fish very close to Morden hall. Feel free to message me and I’ll help with any other questions if I can.

I use 1.5’s I actually bought a pair of 2lb rods specifically for the Thames about a year ago, haven’t used them. Love my 1.5’s. I fish the lower Thames by the way

Which river?

Either way let’s hope it’s a proper un and not from the Trent 🤣….. joking!! Happy new year everyone

Cheers Stuart, after not hooking one once I’d realised my bait was sat amongst 5 or 6 Barbel I was feeling a little wounded shall we say haha… but I’ve now been back twice and had a fish a trip so I’m getting over it slightly. Maybe it was the big hook bait at the time or maybe they was just in...

Avon days & Stour ways by Kevin Grozier is brilliant. It’s not all Barbel but there is a lot

Thames Mole Ember Wey Dorset Stour Itchen Wandle

Well thanks for all the tips and advice… maybe it was the smaller bait size and smaller hook size, or maybe the shorter than normal hooklink or maybe just a couple of evenings of baiting without fishing for em?? Either dropped in tonight on dark, lowered a rig and it whacked round in less than 2...

Mate that is a great read!! Thanks

Loving the input from everyone on this subject, I’ve taken on board a few suggestions and ideas and will give it a go. I’ve left the barbel in that area alone for the last couple of days just dropping a bit of bait in each evening with the intention of having another go tomorrow I’ll post any...

Great reply Terry, love it. I feel exactly the same. Had the same discussion with a guy who as an angler I really look up to, great all rounder caught a lot of big fish over the years.. BUT.. he was sat with me a couple of winters back in a swim id been having a few from. I was fishing he...
