The thing i really loved about the original was the action. It was totally different to the other models and behaved in a way that everything you hooked felt big until you actually hooked something big then it just unlocked this …. Well almost unknown power in the blank that wasn’t even remotely...

There actually was a point not too long ago (shamefully before I started making them aswell) when I had over 1000 floats. It was a ridiculous amount really but there was a couple of wagglers in amongst that lot that had fluro pink tops. I gave a huge load away to various people mostly young...

Clive I do a lot of long trotting and 60-70 yards is common sometimes and i really struggle with conventional float tips. What I do with floats I like is just change the antenna for something more visible All the harrel floats are balsa wood. You can swap out the antennas in them dead easily...

I’m only selling as I get a bit warm in them when I’m not in the water but I’ve used these now for 2 summers and they are brilliant. If they were a touch more breathable or my preferred swims much closer I’d keep em without hesitation but I’m walking some miles in mine and these are not the...

To my knowledge Jim they have never been available directly from shimano to the uk.

Thunnus wont ever be discontinued Jim. They are one of the most popular salt water reels going in the countries they are sold. The Americans and Australians absolutely love em and they ain’t stupidly expensive to purchase out there. It was never intended for the uk market hence why...

Just a cock up there I think Jon. The original thunnus reels were called ****F What it actually stood for 🤷🏻 Derek’s guess will probably be right or dam close

I like how he calls his son the F…..ing idiot for riding his moped over it! Who’s the f……ing idiot that laid it on the garage floor 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ve used a declorinater for my water changes from day 1. A worthy investment and not too expensive. You just connect it in the hose line

Probably for the best Simon to be honest. You get some right Johnny 5 thumbs fishing down there that will drag em across the gravels and not move from their seat. Then there’s the idiots that trample through areas where the chub are still spawning I’ve seen that every season in the opening...

I do the same mate. Dot em to the water just covers the the shoulders 👍🏻

The video is fine Ian. The only comment I’d make is regarding float sensitivity or resistance felt to pull a float under. It’s actually a myth because the float has no bearing on how sensitive it is. It’s all down to how you shot it. Or how much weight or pressure is left over before it sinks...

It’s a rod that has always intrigued me for years but I’ve never been able to get hold of a good and complete one before now. I paid proper money for it too but without a single mark on it and all complete in original bag, it was the example I was looking for. The fact that they were multi...

I’d definitely love to give one a whirl I must admit though I’m not going to rush to get one now as I bought a tricast triaxial complete system practically unused a short while back and I’m quite taken back by it especially at its long lengths of 15/17ft. It’s so much nicer in action than the...

The 15ft specimen float is brilliant for big barbel. My fishing pal @John Newman uses his and has landed some belters into double figures. Give it a try with some strong line. It will definitely not disappoint

Some are end to end at full size but they certainly don’t cause any discomfort to barbel in the slightest. all of these fish are between 14lb and 16,09 and as long as any fish afew pounds heavier from kw The only gripe I have with the length is there’s not much room at the business end to unhook...

Type 3 anodized mate

If you want to spend a bit more money on something really strong durable and deep, I’ve got the very thing I would let go as I’m firmly using spoons now. I have a 36 inch triangle that was custom made and coated before the guy stopped making them It cost me a fair bit more than you would...

I taught myself to cast with a centrepin which is definitely the longest route to success but worth while if you don’t know any one to teach it to you. It happens in stages or at least it did with me trying to master it myself and in the early stages, sure….. it ruins your days fishing! The...

I’m finding the tench actually eat everything but only at night. They are quite destructive eaters moving anything that is in their way to get to food. They’ve knocked 2 plant pots over twice I’ve had to weigh them down. They love standard fish food pellets and flakes, maggots as a treat, corn...
