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...

Hi all, I've just had confirmation that the Harrisons 15ft mk2 stepped up float blank is available now. Mine is currently under order scrupulation!!

When I'm fishing half a tin..... , I can't remember for the life of me where I got them from but I have some bait coils that are approx 25mm long by 15mm wide and they are very flexible in the case that , when you have screwed a third into the meat, you can then stretch it out to get more...

I used John Bakers super milk with Chicken Tikka, and Plum. Both as a paste and boilie for 2 seasons. And I caught really well. At the same time my mate made Bio Shellfish with Ala Salar, and also caught as well on the same stretches we fish. I think as long as you're using a quality base , the...

Harrisons gave just rolled a mk2 gti su , apparently much lighter more responsive and more lower power. Sadly they have only made it in 13ft....

Sorry Alan, my mistake. They are available in Amazon tho. At an eye watering 305 quid🤔

Fishernator, have the 4000 thunnus back in stock Jon.

You might want to consider the 8000 if you're casting long distances over the tidal, only slightly heavy and no noticable size difference, apart from the spool width, which is larger, taking more line...

Hi Paul, I made my paste with eggs and it does influence mould growth, even in an air tight container. Not had the same issues with water 👌

Onto solid bags, . Have you tried a 9" hooklink akin to a carp bag rig for barbel on lower stock rivers??. Excellent for big chub work in the winter too Shhhh! You heard it here first🤔

I take it you mean a 37mm mesh bag of pellets, I like Simon never stick to any one pellet , having halibut, robin red, sticky krill and Nash scopex squid pellets in various sizes from 2 mm to 11mm. And also scopex squid stick mix in the bucket too. I'll add some scopex oil and some scopex...
