    Daiwa spectron mk2 ,13ft spliced tip float rod SORRY KEEPING FOR NOW

    Oh I don't know!! I'm trying to keep my focus on writing a piece on Hebrew verbs that accompany theophanies and the contrast between divine and human kingship in Old Testament prophets... all to say my poor brain may be a bit scrambled :p

    Yeah, Leeds is my nearest. It’s ok, I’ve got an idea brewing 😗

    Daiwa spectron mk2 ,13ft spliced tip float rod SORRY KEEPING FOR NOW

    Sorry, sorry, didn’t mean that blaming @Richard Isaacs was a good idea 😆

    That’s not a terrible idea Danny (keeping the rod, not blaming Rich 😜)

    It’s a little frustrating isn’t it? Unless you know someone who has the product you want, or it’s in stock in your nearest shop, you’re left playing a kind of guessing game with dimensions. Perhaps that is part of the plan—leave it vague and let people buy on the off chance they won’t bother...

    Paul, that’s extremely helpful, thank you. You’ve saved me £40 as that’s too small for my requirements 👍🏻

    Thanks Chris, I had one of those and it was mahoosive and didn’t keep its shape well. I’m interested in the smaller end of the scale.

    Anybody got any real life reviews of the little Korum Progress Roversack then? I like the look of it, but I seem to have developed a preference for clips instead of zips over time so would need to be persuaded to sack off my Drennan Super Speci rucksack. I get the lie-flat business; had a few...

    Korda camo bolt and run rigs,

    Just to prove the adage that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, I have ordered- notwithstanding this thread- a packet of Korum Camo Bolt and Run rigs! Cheers Danny! Cheers Ali! Cheers Dick! Cheers to all you innovators, pioneers and haters 🖖🏻

    Weight

    How much do you weigh Matt? I’m about 12 stone, so your 90lbs is approximately half my body weight you’re carting about 😮

    Can any of you chaps who have got the 25l Korum Roversack tell me the dimensions of the main compartment? If I can get my Greys box in it I'll probably order one.

    Acolyte users??

    It felt surprisingly good, but you know the way Daiwa rods balance nicely.

    I had a waggle with Dave Maddison’s 17/20 Spectron M2 on Monday, only at 17’ though. Nice rod.

    Acolyte users??

    Hi Steve, A 15’ Acolyte Specimen would suit you perfectly unless you’re very exacting about action etc. I have the 13’ and would probably like the 15’ too. Just ask @Chris Jones about his catches with the 15’er. It’ll do everything you need it to do (barring catfish or something daft!) Outside...

    Treating yourself.

    Nice idea 👍🏻

    SORTED! 11’ Torrix 1.75

    Hiya David, I used to use an old narrow Speedia to trot for barbel and that was really good. I’m planning to use this set up for fishing close in and also rolling meat.
