Thanks for reply’s lads sorry for late reply life’s been rather hectic. Been and had a look at some rods over past week or two. I’ve gone with the basia got the 2.25 ones as can use them for tench etc in the closed season. Also ready available and bought them
Off the shelf as with anything...
Thank you mate yep think it’s between the basia and c3 tbh atm. Maybe more basia as more readily available and cheaper slightly. Going to try have a look at both.
Yeah I’ll mainly be Fiskerton and then Notts area don’t want something too stiff so can enjoy the fight etc still? Then later on if I like the 2.25 I’ll look out for a pair of 2.75 for tidal trips if they happen as never fished the tidal yet.
Thanks mate. Do you not think the 2.25 will do for the Trent then having used them both? How stiff are the 2.75? Was more looking at the 2.25 as would use for tench in the closed season too? I’ve got some armalite mk3 for smaller rivers derwent soar etc.
Thanks for all input from you all! I’m originally from a carping background and the higher end rods did pay to have in my opinion from casting to playing fish etc plus everyone likes a good looking rod too. So I’m happy to pay more for hopefully something that will deliver a better product to...
Thanks for reply mate. So would you have gone basia if they were in stock over the others at the time?
I’ll be after barbel fishing mainly middle Trent from say Shardlow to Fiskerton etc but maybe odd trip to tidal Trent collingham etc chucking leads and feeders. I’ve got a set of 1.75 century...
Thanks for reply mate and going into them in detail. Yeah it’s odd they’ve not put them on the top rods but have others but like you say it’s not a big job to change it.
What are they like compared to the 2.25 have you seen both?
Yeah seeing a lot of love for the c3s deffo up there on my list and see a lot of love for the basis just the guides aren’t great on them from off the shelf.
Hi all I’m after a decent pair of rods looking at these 3 after looking through reviews? Anyone used any of them or seen all of them what’s ppls views on them? Want them for Trent fishing mainly middle Trent please? Thanks
