    Chasing chub....

    It looks like my last cast of the season since it ends tomorrow, and I had to take the chance. While working from home during my lunch break, I found the ball of experimental cheese paste (new recipe) in the freezer and a few slices of old bread. I grabbed my quiver rod and walked to the nearby...

    Touch legering and rolling baits

    It should do, but a bit heavy compare to to the torrix.

    Touch legering and rolling baits

    I was looking for your old post about making quiver tip for 4pc Harrison, but couldn’t find it, could you let me know which tip you bought, it was a matrix one right?

    Advice on new rods please?

    2.5 is more like carp rods I think? 2.25 torrix is really nice

    Advice on new rods please?

    If I am going to spend 300 on a barbel rod, it has to be basia, I have the 2.25lb one, it’s just brilliant. I have both torrix and free spirit s range, basia just another level. I wish they do a 11ft version. Btw, at 12ft, torrix 1.75/2lb would be my last choice, Id go with chimera no2 if...

    Online shopping

    I use total fishing tackle a lot, Yates angling centre, eBay and angling direct. I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem.

    I wasnt questioning about fish handling, I am sure you know how to handle them safely. Just thought it too big for a hand towel😂

    New rods

    The guru specimen rod is not as through action as tamer, tamer has that true classic through action, if you like the guru rod, I am slightly worried that you may find tamer too soft😂. I only used the cadence barbel rods for about a hour, but the rods are more tippy and stiff.

    New Normark Rods

    I hope they do a 15ft average in the future. And I truly wish they will do a 11ft microlite, that can be great for the small stream fishing. I am not sure yet, but maybe I will get a 13ft titan for some roach and chub trotting. PS, I think acolyte is made in Africa in drennan’s own factory?

    Sorry I was wrong, it’s made in China.

    Hexagraph 1lb 11ft SOLD subject to usual

    Bruce and walker still in business, they are still making blanks, just not the finished rod.

    New Normark Rods

    Very positive from people at big one on normark fb page. The rod is made in far east but China, so I am guessing South Korean.

    Harrison 13ft SU 2piece

    Sliding band for pin, no doubt about it

    New rods

    Tamer is a decent rod, I like the classic all through action of it.

    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    The Korum roversack is the best luggage I bought so far. Much better and useable than the drennan one.
