    Harrison 14ft specialist 2.5lb.

    I think these were the prototype by harrison, to go against the fox 15 extremes. I'm sure they were 15s though and not 14s... a call to Harrison rods will give you all the info u need...

    Years ago u had to plan well in advance. Now it's generally less than 2 weeks, including Temu. Just got some thermal tops off temu, for a bargain of around 6 quid each.. https://share.temu.com/RJqBCRxbG2A

    Best reel For trotting when casting distance?

    I was brought up fishing the trent with a Mitchell match, I'm pretty sure they could still do the business nowadays.. my next one would be an Abu 506m, with the pawl removed...

    Best reel For trotting when casting distance?

    Daiwas have always been great reels, they have just got really expensive recently and now get to a point of justifying buying them now...

    17/18ft float rod

    The Conny/spectron 17/20, was rated at up to 10lb mainlines. It's quite tippy and will.suffice for roach etc, then the middle and buttsection kicks in for the power. At 17ft which is it's best length, it's perfect for Barbel. Not everyone's cup of tea, but at 17/20, I cant think of a better rod?

    Best reel For trotting when casting distance?

    I stuck a ss2600 on both my 15 footers this year. I won't be going back to a smaller reel anytime soon....

    Test curves

    In normal middle and Tidal, conditions a 1.75 will suffice... however, you will eventually be found out... so as Richard says 2.25 best bet given conditions. It's a difficult one as I met a mate a few weeks on the TT and he bagged a good 14lber, no probs on a 1.75 with maybe 5 foot extra on...

    Wanted-Cadence 15ft #3 float rod could swap for diawa connoisseur

    Weights fairly relative, sometimes an overly tip heavy rod, may be balanced with too small a reel. For me a rod 14ft and more so 15ft, that your trotting with all day should have; imo a heavier reel, to balance the l extra length and weight. You could have a perfect rod, that you may think is...

    The search for perfection

    I totally get why you have done it, I'm sure it will be bang on. The only draw back, for me is how the splice interacts with the float, dependant on size... but by the picture, with weight applies, looks like u have got it... great idea 💡

    Rod for grayling

    Absolutely, thought about these before the last post, but it's hard to see one in the skin. Lots of review on YouTube with the cadence guys fishing with them... I will be setting my Shimano Ultegra 390Fa, up this weekend ready for my annual Christmas jaunt on the upper river Don. They rarely go...
