I’m doing it the same way minus the elastic band. I just slip the packets into a suitable size compartment in my tackle box. For me it doesn’t really need to be more accessible or organized than that as i would be having a very bad day if I had to start tying hooks on the bank. I always have...

I’m keeping that under raps for the times being mate as I can’t share the photos. They are going in our club magazine and there’s a historic rule that they won’t publish photos in the magazine that have been shared on socials. However……. All will be revealed in good time once the mag is out...

Woah !!!! That’s an arm aching session Ian. Jeeze!! 57 lumps to 6lb. That’s a chub session of dreams.

Is that a tributary off the main river you fish Ian? Do you ever pick any barbel up in it

The reels can be bought new. Would that not make sense seen as your after mint ones

Really pleased you got to christen it and with such a tremendous haul of fish. I’m glad it’s just right for the job. Yes they are fantastic rods and a shame they didn’t continue them.

Yes Bob I’ve owned both I had a pair of 2.75 basia rods and I had a pair of DLST c3 rods. I don’t have either anymore as it’s just not really a type of fishing that I do anymore It’s hard to pick a favorite because they are both excellent in their own right but quite different in use. I’ll do...

Great to meet you Wayne Glad you like the rod and I really hope you get it hooped right over onto a big lady on your first outing

I can meet you at thurrock if you want Wayne to shorten your journey by an hour. No need to pay until you’ve looked at it first if you want.

Wayne I would definitely choose the maver signature pro over the supera X that you were considering if grayling are the main target. Simply because It has a slightly softer action more subtle for lighter balanced tackle. The Preston supera x is a proper power float rod and although the tip is...

Yeah it will be ideal for grayling fishing it’s got a nice fast hollow tip and would be quite happy dealing with lines of 3-6lb I’m in Cambridge but I would do some driving to meet someone

Some pics. Completely brand new. Such lovely rods these are

Bought this rod as I love the sig pro range of float rods but never used it as I tend to reach for my 15’s more often than not. Very light high quality rod in brand new condition still contains the tag with original price tag of £240. Stepped up blank absolutely ideal for big chub and single...

Thanks Ian 👍🏻 I enjoyed the video of your session from the bank on the small river.

If carlsberg do fishing days …. My goodness the stars aligned for me today. 29 chub every one a lump including 2 good 6’s and a float caught pb of 7lb 1oz Isn’t it weird ……. Did exactly the same thing the other week when the river had 3-4 inches on and i couldn’t buy a bite yet today you...

They are built like tanks those zeps and they spin for an eternity with a light flick. I’ve caught afew on the nene and Trent trotting several pieces of corn on the hook. It definitely loose feeds better than meat having a faster sink rate. I often take both as it’s not uncommon for a switch...

It was caught on the river ivel when it had a reasonable population of barbel to go at. For me it is still one of the most notable barbel captures of all time. It’s a very different river nowadays after suffering a big predation spike in 2016/2017. There are places down this way like the...

1 price drop and if it doesn’t sell here it will either sell elsewhere or I get to keep it. I’ve put it on eBay now. Bfw members discount £320 no offers on that.

Why not just order one up. Get it built how you want it.

It’s with regret but at the moment makes perfect sense that I’m going to sell this little rod. The information on them is near on impossible to find but I’ll tell you what I do know from speaking to the right people and doing quite a bit of digging. To my understanding there was 4 or possibly...
