I knew you guys would mention those Harrison's 😂 At the moment funds don't allow one. I have been looking at the 1.5lb FS River tamer and have a Shakespeare Solitude 1.25lb which is on the lighter side to hold. What are the John Ross ready built Torrix like? I've seen Thomas Turner suggest...

Hi all, What's everyone's set up for touch legering and rolling baits? You're gonna want a light rod if holding it all session so what are people using? Light Avon rods or even maybe power float rods? Reels? Is something around the 2500 sized more than enough? Enough to hold 100m of 10lb...

If Young's don't reply try Garry Mills, he should possibly have a line guard and the screws available

Sounds like a lovely rod, I'll be going for the 1.5lb version first as I'm not catching many Barbel from the W Avon anymore and it's sounds more like than enough for the job (the Thomas Turner classic 1lb Avon I also looked at suggests they are using those for barbel too, even for such a light...

Are the quoted rod weights for these correct? They seem awfully light for their TC compared to a lot of other rods on the market and even their own higher spec rods in the same TC ratings

That's that easily fixed then! 😂👍🏻

I wish you didn't say that, sounds perfect and still makes me want one, well in 11ft anyway and I'm supposed to be buying the FS rod.

On these rods, does that mean they feel a bit soft/floppy? I recently had a Korum Omega 1.25 that was meant to be fast action, whilst the tip and top end was soft, it made the rod feel quite floppy, certainly not what I was expecting. As a result I sold it without using it. Could this be the...

I've also just seen that sellers won't have their money released until the item arrives. I'm sure eBay will soon just be another Temu or AliExpress and won't be a place to sell pre-owned items

The Perch one was equally good. I was surprised how small some of these venues were that very big fish came out from.

I was on the fence at first but the quality of the story telling, the filming and editing is first class. Loved the Above Bedford film, funny to hear of barbel of those sizes being taken on 1.25 rods and 8lb line, I remember IYCF having a article with Len Arbery going after Barbel with the...

I almost went for the light quiver but wasn't sure how light it actually was, I see the tips it comes with are under 2oz, is it too light for some Chubbing? Still going for the FS but could be tempted to get the Solitude also

Thanks, I'll take a chance on one, I've been looking at them for quite a while, I've since found my perfect rods in the Shakespeare Solitudes but i have a gap in-between the 2 test curves I own and would also like a quiver section so will pick a FS up and see how I get on with it. Thanks guys...

Thanks Kevin, I've had a few of the Darent Valley branded rods before so I'll be used to the very slim handle. Sounds like it will be perfect for what I'm after.

Hi guys, I think I've decided to try out a FS River Tamer, I'm going for the 1.5lb version first and will add a extra 2oz glass tip for clubbing. I have been using a 11ft Drennan twin tip duo which I find very light and well balanced so hoping the FS will be similar Fishing the W.Avon around...

Korum ruckbag and chair from the latest kit, no it doesn't have chest straps and any other flappy straps that just get in the way and the chair isn't your sofa but they do the job All tackle for chub/barbel fit into a korda basix box and that includes floats where the rig board should sit (2...

Hi all, For sale is a selection of skp luggage by Shakespeare Ruckbag, similar to the original Korum version with the Black hard base. Has a strap to secure a chair rather than hooks Small unhooking mat, 1 of the elastic straps has been cut Large tackle pouch Folding tackle table Looking...

Soon we'll only be left with those awful AD stores. The brands are just to blame though, take Korum for instance, the bigger stores can discount their stuff to a price that my local independent dealer just cannot compete with.

I wanted the 1.5 elite as a barbel rod, they look nice, but, I could get the 1.5 FS River Tamer for similar price and have the extra quiver section.
