    Advice Needed - Custom Rods

    As a couple of people have said.. Have a look at the free spirit range before you make your mind up.. The Barbel Seeker is a fantastic rod.. I had one built about 4 years ago by Roger Hurst who builds most of the free spirit rods for the trade..

    A Question. Is there an answer? Floods.

    Really enjoying reading this thread. I can see similarities in three rivers I fish. The river Soar in Leicestershire the Derbyshire Derwent and the Dove. They got so bad I stopped fishing for barbel but this season things seem to be slowly changing for the better. I've had three barbel sessions...

    Trotting for Barbel

    I've never done float fishing for barbel on the trotting set up and just got to thinking. Do I need to have may bait (probably meat) dragging bottom?. If so how much line would be best to have dragging bottom.

    Chair legs

    Terry I was thinking of ordering the 3.2mm but i was wondering how I would get the mud feet in but I suppose with them being plastic a Stanly knife would have sorted them out. I've gone for the 1.6mm which is the same as my old ones .. With the weight I've put on I would have been better with...

    Chair legs

    Very kind offer Neil. I've taken the opportunity to put longer legs on the chairs to give me a couple or so more inches to help my knees out plus a little extra to leave in the tube on the chair hoping it'll make the whole thing stronger. Thank You very much for the kind offer

    Chair legs

    The one I've priced up is 19mm x 1.6mm wall thickness. I'm waiting for my vernier caliper to be returned today so as I can be sure but by what i can measure with a tape and rule the walls on my chair legs is not 1.6mm. But I'll be sure before I order.

    Big bream rods, not for long casts - Barbel rods?

    The Drennan series 7 Avon / quiver tip rods are great. I have 1.25 and 1.50 but I was fishing for big bream at 70 yards I would go for the 1.75tc one and you have the option of using the Avon or Quiver tip. Some people use theses rods for barbel to.
