I think the free spirits are a very nice rod and actually prefer them to the Torrix but it's very much a personal thing .. It's a lot of money to spend without at least holding one in the flesh and having a wiggle. I know it's nowhere near the same as actually playing a barbel on a rod but at...

Does anyone ever get a reply to Emails sent to Drennan??. I purchased one of there new 3.5mt landing net poles after having a 3mt one for about 18 years and still going strong. The problem is the widget thing is different from my old one and every time I use the pole the widget comes off so I...

Can you give me daves info please. A mate needs a couple of Shimano gte 5000s servicing/repairing and is not keen on Filendre.. Or the information of any other reel repair people please..

Done

Glad my suggestion worked out for you Joe When I had a rod built by Roger I was invited over to his workshop to discuss my requirements and found him and his staff very welcoming and helpful and he only charged me the same price as the shop sell them for even though I had a couple of small...

https://thermos.co.uk/light-and-compact-flask1l I've had one of these for about 8 years and it keeps my coffee hot all day. you can buy spare tops to of which I've had one in the whole time I've had the flask.

As there are no cloth bags with these rods I will give for free a Korum total protection quiver so the buyer can transport the rods safely

I have a pair of Greys X Flite Barbel rods. 12ft with 1.5tc top 1.75tc top and quiver tip carrier top top with three tips each Both rods in good used condition. No cloth bags unfortunately. These rods have far more use than just Barbel fishing. I'm not sure how to put pictures up on here but if...

http://www.rogerhurstrods.co.uk/ Try this chap. He builds ( or use to build) most of the free spirit rods. I had some custom builds by him and he had a massive pile of the bags in a corner of his work place. It was a few years ago but worth a try.

If I were you I would just get back to the basic knotless knot.. Use a decent hook IE Drennan / Esp Cryogen / Korda and plenty of others. I use ESP Cryogen with an out turned eye buy many use inturned eyes. If you tie the knot correctly it shouldn't slip down the shank. Some do use a little dab...

I agree with the hook and bait size being wrong and need to match more closer. A 10mm piece of meat would be more to my liking on a size 10 hook and a 6 or 4 on an 18mm piece but in the present conditions I would be on the size 10 hook with 10mm meat i day light and may upscale it for dark . I...

All of my rods have there own reel attached . There all 2 piece rods except my 15ft acolyte but even that stays made up with a Abu 506mk2 on but will admit with being 3 piece it's not so simple to put up as a 2 piece rod.

The hook bait company are hit & miss anyway. I've ordered from then on more than one occasion but takes ages to get your stuff even after several emails It has always arrived but took about 6 weeks.

Yep thats it Nash. I have 4 of these rods 2 in 1.75tc and 2 in 2lb test curve Once again for the money great rods

I've had problems with the hook bait company twice over the past few months so I've decided I'll not order from them again

I think I'm a member of the club that Simon is talking about and I must admit I thought it was a big jump but the club do state the the rents had increased a lot so IF that is true they do need to pass the increase on imo. I've just turned 65 so was thinking I would get a cheaper ticket but...

I have a few of these to in Loughborough if anyone local needs one or more. Collection only FOC

Neil I would go for the Plus model. I have the 13ft compact plus and it does a great job

Bob I did get mine from go out doors at £39.99 which is why I did a search and found the one in the link
