I've not had any problems with my mk1 15ft hi s. And that has 12 plus tip. So I'm going to mirror that set up Btw, when you rebuilt your 15ft his, how many did you put on?...

They look like they would be good for grayling 😆

Yeah , but the barbel love em!!

Flowing water?, if so I won't use uncoated unless I knew my rig had settled perfectly?. Un coated braid, will flutter in the flow and has a mind of its own, not really suited to river work. I fish the trent and it's quite varied, deep glides, shallow riffles, it has it all! Imo it's...

Coated, or uncoated?

Hi chaps, Im in the market for said reel, in black or silver or the light weight version. My Shakespeare Lincoln has had its days. Fair price paid. If anyone has one gathering dust or just time to move on , I would be very interested. Thanks....

Oh , you must have the mk2 his 15ft then...

So the best big fish rod you mentioned there has 13 ?? That's if it's the mk1.

Thanks for the advice Richard. Would you still have 14 guides minimum, if you were using 8gm to 12gm floats as a minimum ?.

Thanks Ralph, that's very informative and interesting, . Excellent job on the rebuilds btw!!👌

That's the same guide that I'm going to put on mine , wow I knew the minimas were very strong, but didn't realize they were that hard. Im thinking of a 12 set guide on 15ft as it's an out and out big fish rod. What are your thoughts Ralph?

I've gone for the 16mm high stand off minina but ring , at 20 mm it's huge , and stands off the rod a massive 55mm I think it looks a bit flimsy personally and prone to getting caught, especially by my clumsy self 😆. It would only take a few straightens after getting caught before it snapped!.

Evening Etienne, my rod builder should receive the blank this week, and like yourself am deciding on guides and seat etc. For me it's definitely minima high stand off guides, they are 30 percent lighter than ceramic guides and extremely strong , even unbreakable in normal use. This is a must on...

There readily available now Etienne

And the same goes for mono!

Merrell MOABs for me, I think I'll get next season, 5th, out of them then it will be time for a new pair . If you're wondering what Moab means. Mother, Of, All, Boots.

You need to make sure the outer knurled knob is as loose as possible before tightening the inner up. , then the outer. I nip mine up with a 150mm x 5mm titanium bar , purchased from eBay...

No , he hasn't got the blank yet, and can't give me the information I need, so I've decided I'm not going to be the guinee pig, unless anyone else can share any info?..

Hi all. I'm in cahoots with my rod builder regarding the 15ft mk2 Harrison stepped up float rod and was wondering which reel seat would work best for, 80 percent fixed spool work, and 20 percent pin work. Thanks to all for any information in advance...
