    Would agree with the above, Diawa Theory so outstanding, wide spool for its size and excellent drag!

    your reasoning for your leader length and material?

    I think it’s horses for courses, I use coated braid, Gardner ultra skin on the Trent where it is rocky. Never had a breakage yet. Lengths up to 6 feet if the fish are wary. Smaller less snaggy waters I use drennan acolyte fluorocarbon, thin diameter very supple and surprisingly robust. Again...

    Still wanted Chimera 3

    I’m sure you’re right, I’ve seen his rods and they are excellent quality. I really like the pair of Torrix that I bought but hindsight being the wonderful thing it is probably should’ve bought the chimeras for this time of year.

    Trent conditions

    Hi Folks just wondering if anyone has fished the Trent since last weekends flooding. I haven’t had the chance to get near it but having spoken to bailiffs have been told some stretches are way too dangerous and unreachable due to floodwater.

    Harrison Chimera No1?

    First fish I had last year was a 12:10 on a river tamer 1.5 test curve rod. On the Trent 14’ of water under my feet, it took an age to get the fish off the bottom but from then on dealt very well. Unfortunately the barbel chose to hit that rod rather than the one I expected which was 2lb test...
