I'll echo you and Lee, imo they are the king of the float rods past and present. I got one of the latest normark avengers recently, and again, jmo, the acolyte speci blows it away by a country mile. I would also recommend the acolyte plus which is slightly less powerful but I never had a problem...

I forgot to mention the shimano FJ (ST2500FJ). I have no idea if they are still available new as I got mine quite a few years back. I like them enough that I would look for a mint second hand one should anything untoward happen to mine. I can't find anything negative to say about the reel, so...

Hi Etienne, your 501 should be good, appart from the line stick you get with them. If you after a fixed spool reel you already have a belter in the centris! If you just fancy a new reel then as mentioned by Mike Window the daiwa TDR reels are nice and the 3012 is just a nice size. There are lots...

Glad you got sorted Steve, fingers crossed the reel gives you lots of pleasure 😎👍.

No worries Etienne, you'll soon master it bud 😉👍.

Hello Etienne, I appreciate you subscribing and hope you enjoy the channel ! I would highly recommend the okuma centerpin reels to anyone, be it a total novice or an experienced centrepin angler. They have gone up in price now if you buy brand new, but are still a good buy. You can pick up a...

I haven't got one of the mk1 rods. I did get the mk2 12ft power float rod and it feels nice to use, but for me personally it lacks in power. I have caught a few barbel with it but the biggest fish was prolly about 7lb at a push and that was in a swim where I could play the fish without worrying...

Have you got the first avenger mkII straight after the 2000 range Cliff, the 13ft ones?

I popped round to the local tackle shop today for some maggots and while I was there the shop owner produced a normark legasy limited numbered avenger for me to have a waggle with. A week or so back a good friend of mine gave me his opinion of the new avenger after he had a play with one in his...

My mrs set up her email so any dodgy sites etc goes straight to spam. That kind of thing has been going on for many years, your own email provider or any other merchant you use could be hacked or give that basic information away.

If you pay vis paypal there no security issues so no need to hasstle your sister in law 😉🤣

Hi Alec. If he does decide to sell any I will let you know, although I very much doubt he will. He has two float rods and I handled them a few months back on the river. They had lovely rigid blanks and a super fast action and were amazingly light!

Hey, HZ likes what he likes, good luck to him and it's good he's got a rod he likes. I don't think power and stiffness are quite the same, you can still have a weaker rod with a stiff blank and fast action. A friend of mine has some very nice examples from Rive. As far as i'm aware and have...

I was a big fan of normark rods both the 2000s and the 3000s and had the majority of the models shortly after their release way back when. For me the 3000s were better than the 2000s and unlike the 2000s the 3000s felt good with the 2ft extension in place and fished at 15ft. When I got my hands...

I'm far from being a film maker, but before I added any video clips to youtube I did have a go pro which was used for when I was out cycling incase of any accidents, which there were before my mrs got me the camera 🙄. I started to take it fishing so I could watch some sessions back purely for my...

Obviously I can't give a review on them Truite model as i've never had them. When my paraquares give up the ghost i'll be taking a pot shot at the truite model in the hope that they will be similar to the Paras.

I realise your looking for neoprenes Cliff, but I'd suggest you take a look at the aigle parquares (spelled wrong) rubber thigh waders. I'm on my second pair now which i've been using for about 7 or more years and they are still going strong after a lot of use! Good hunting 😉👍.

Good stuff Neil, looking forward to seeing your next video when you use it 🙂👍.

At the end of the day no one is forced to buy from temu. I for one will continue to buy items from them as the majority of items I have had have been excellent. If any item isn't up to scratch then temu have never made any defence of it and either pay a refund right away when the item is...

Where do you think the majority of suppliers get their products from? I don't just mean fishing tackle shops. They have the items made in china with their logos added, then sell them to the shops who then fleece the man in the street. As one example, I bought several pairs of waterproof...
