    Acolyte Ultra Question?

    Neil I use a 14ft Ultra on my chalk stream beat. It has coped with Grayling over 2lb, Trout over 5lb and Chub to 5lb. However other than some weed there are no snags or overhanging trees. I use an 11ft Ultra on a side stream which has more snags and a lot of trees, hence the shorter rod. A...

    VASS chest waders

    I have the Vass 310 70T Hybrid chest waders and as Andy states they definitely could do with a belt as there is an excess of material which although helps when bending and kneeling down they do look baggy and feel massive. So they won't win any prizes for style. Mike

    RIP Martin Hooper

    I picked up a pair of Sundridge Hooper Barbel rods some years ago and have never used them. May take one out in the next couple of weeks on the Avon. Liked his book as a lot of it was relevant to my local rivers. RIP.

    trotting rod

    Hi Stephen I have heard some say yes it is, but my own experience with a 14' Acolyte Plus is no it isn't. Even with large chub fighting through the strong flow (Hants Avon in winter) and heading towards undergrowth on the far bank I find it hard work and a bit daunting. Maybe I am not using...
