Daiwa expedition 👌

You're right Terry, after watching the video again, he should have rested the fish , and obviously has no net big enough to do so.!.

I'm also glad I went for 12 plus tip, and not the 14 plus tip , you recommended Richard.......

Too be fair, he was fishing for Small stuff, and he's un hooked it in the net, ok , very unconventional, for a near 14lb barbel, I think Cam didn't realize how big it was... It was only our of the water for a minute! Better than putting it on the ground!!

I agree Richard , but having used it for what I intended, it's just fine, I've got other rods with 15 grm to 12 grm tips and they are for longer trotting sessions.

Hi Craig, try this out, I use a caster band, and a pellet bander, then pull a doubled up lob near to the saddle using a baiting needle through the lobby, then hook the band!.... If you're swim is clear of weed and debris, it's a great way of presenting lobby's, it's almost like a hair, but...

Evening Richard, the tip weight is 19.9gms, the mid is 42.2gms the weight is in the butt at176.9gms. Total weight of mine is239gms.. Only 21.5gms more than the hi s . But definitely noticable. But that maybe due to my build?🤷🏿. Did the 8mm sic tip ring make any difference??, I don't think it...

Well, , obviously this rod feels nothing like any 15ft rod I've used before, and I thought that it would, before I ordered it... It's well balanced enough to fish with for maybe 5hrs 6 at a push. And I've got forearms like Popeye... The tip is "ok".. it's not the fastest pickup but I fish...

Hi John, it will be excellent for slider work, I use mine for the same principle also, that's why I went for the 8mm anti frap... Always amazes me how the float slides away so gracefully, then havoc pursues!!!😎

Yes , t think they are an optional extra, I purchased mine second hand on here from a great chap, and it came with the guard. I don't confess to being a wallace caster so it's stayed in place. I've been using it for trotting this season, and it's becoming a favorite over my conquest, tho it's...

Yes Alan, I have had many Harrison blanks built by Graham, he is a wizard, and truly. , unique... It's a river specialist ..

At a foot longer, it's lighter than the mk1 14ft ft , which I had no qualms with... Feels so much better too.

Hi all , received mine from Buzzard Rods today and thought I'd share some pics.... Going to the river tomorrow, hoping to connect with some berties...... I'll keep you posted 😘.

And it can also look li And it can also look like a 3ft twitch, full on , fish on bite.... Me and my mate call them ghost bites!!

Sounds like a me Crabtree story!! Excellent fishing, and good luck with the roach.....

If your eyelets on your esp quick draw mat aren't showing any signs of rust, your mat must never get wet. 😂😂🤣😆. I always hang mine up in the garage from said eyelet, and sometimes even after a week drying it's still damp inside!!!

Have you considered a Hardy Marksman, there are a few on eBay??

Braided mainlines have progressed so much in the last 5-10 yrs that there is so much choice, i.e. floating , flat profile, round, sinking ,neutral bouyancy, wind resistant, high abrasion resistance, ultra smooth, the list goes on..... But , unfortunately just like "mono" , there is no fish...

A very good barbel angler once told me ,"Your hook length should match the length of the day". And the lightest lead possible is always a must, unless it's raging with debris and you need to hold station!. It's always served me well....

Or have you been pre baiting Richard 😉 That's a clonker, nice one pal.
