I had the 2.75. I have not used a more impressive blank. Sadly the rod was too powerful for my needs. Been looking for a 1.75 ever since. Made offers on ebay, pre courier charge escalation of up to 175 . There are 2 brand new 2.25' s locally which I can collect on market place but the sellers...

A weird fact is that although I live 200 yards from a field gate, twice, I have found dead badgers in front to my garage. Both were about a year apart. I know our local badger rescue guy who didn't not regard this as unusual.. It's a p when I cannot get the car out without moving them. Ps on a...

Avoiding any criticism I trust, of my point being considered political, I suggest that perhaps most were with me in hoping the talent pool available to the new incoming government would be deeper than that of their predecessors. Evidence seems to be somewhat lacking so far!

Truly beautiful. Sadly too old now, that's me not the rod. Gutted too as I could collect!

Even I have been in their shop. So sad that the retail side of the tackle industry is so vunerable.

oh that's a blow Graham. My sincere commiserations .

ah yes, that rings a bell Graham. Thanks . I always used "best offer" to overcome that. Back better?

surprised at that Graham. I thought currently sales listing and commission fee, are free. Can I ask, when you get the monthly statement you investigate and see where the deductions are listed. You can probably get details now but cant remember where they put them. .

I think the new rules kick in next month Graham so you should be ok.

Yes, looks that way. Sad really that for me as retired, they have been a wonderful platform to buy try keep and or sell rods and reels for many years. End of an era.

Cheers for that Steve. I haven't used vinted. Not sure it's just the season but ebay felt quiet for rod/ reels in the past 3 months.

Had a notice yesterday stating that rules changing again relating to fees next month. I need to read again but seems to be going over the the auctioneering theme. Whereby the buyer pays a premium but one which is included in the price.. Whether this means both the seller will have a new fee...

I got a daiwa slr 12, wrapped in paper and pushed though the letterbox. Undamaged too but not recomended!

When I moaned to ups about increased charges, their explanation was that long rods are walked thro the depots rather than put on conveyor belts as they catch at the junctions. Wasn't even April 1st.

fabulous tale. well done. life is about ticking off dreams if we are fortunate enough

When I retired Cliff, I had thought maybe take up golf. But the RSM bought me match gear form my 65th. Hadn't held a rod for 50 years! I decided to persevere with fishing and gave myself a budget of 1k pa, reasoning that that was about the annual membership fee for a golf club. Never match...

I saw that offer. I was sorely tempted myself, well done. A great buy.

You are right. I got a daiwa basia barbel 2.75 for 159.99, delivered from them. Best ever deal I did on line.

I had a new rs. It was a great cheap buy but stupidly didn't keep it long. I have a tsi but at specialist length of 12. My favourite in that size is my sportex TP barbel of the similar vintage but with a Polaris float the tsi has caught really well late summer. For 45£ paired with the new...
