Speaking of Fuji supply, the rod rings and things is the new UK Fuji dealer.

No, not the very highest quality Japanese carbon, the blank is using HVF carbon, the second or third best carbon daiwa can offer in UK. The best carbon daiwa has is SVF. But it won’t lock up and will band and band.

I have the 13ft version, here’s what I can tell you. First, the blank is great, the tip is soft and lots of power in the butt to stop any barbel. Very responsive, pair with a pin, it’s a joy to cast with it. It’s not a light rod, the 13ft is 200g, but all the weight is on the butt section, the...

S range barbel seeker. Not the new seeker specialist

I have the 15ft fs ctx tamer, it is defintely 3pcs. It is heavier than the accy, I think it is around 210g, but more powerful than my 14ft accy specimen. The rod balanced well with match aerial centrepin or any reel around 260g.

Have a look of these. https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/cadence-cl10-specimen-rod-sleeves/

The tackle box one is really good. https://tacklebox.co.uk/luggage/rod-and-reel-luggage/tackle-box-11ft-slim-skeletal-protective-rod-sleeve/ If you are using large reel, cadence also do 11ft sleeves but imo too chunky.

Thats chimera no1? Or the 11ft version that discontinued for a while? I’ve only seen one people mentioned the 1.5lb Avon so I wasn’t sure if it was a thing.

11ft, I heared it once.

According to Harrison website, there is only one chimera avon 1.25lb. 1.4lb is 1lb4oz which is 1.25lb.

You need to check the delivery time, some are very quick some are slow.

I bought these when they first came out as well. Great staff.

The most underrated reel IMO.

I bought a pair of new on eBay for 100 few months ago, great reel.

Check Chris Brown landing net.

I am actually rather disappointed with the drennan specimen rod and the quiver. Not the rod, they are good, but the drennan’s marketing, I somehow feel they just split the old dual tip rods into two different rod. But yeah, if you could, support the local shop is a great thing to do.

Thames is a hard river to fish, especially the up and middle sections. There are lots of chub and bream, but not many barbel. And a lot stretch’s are featureless, so finding the potential underwater features is crucial. I know a guy find a deep hole with the deeper and caught a 19lb barbel...

I have drennn, Gardner and tacklebox one. Drennan no doubt is the lightest one, but you need to be careful with it. I once put a weed cutter on it and try to cut the overgrown grass on the bank, and the first section pulled out when I tried to cut a thick area. Tacklebox is heavier but decent...

Well, I’ve been thinking about getting a deeper for a while, but after trotting the swim a few times, I kind of know it well now. I don’t like the lead idea, especially if you want to use it to find deep holes etc.

Not my top choice, tbh, too heavy to hold all day long.
