If I know the air temp is going to stay below freezing then I give it a miss. I can't be faffed applying vaseline or glycerine to my line and guides.
After saying that, I often set off in sub zero temps knowing that the temp will rise to at least 1 degree which negates the freazing water in the...
On several occasions recently i've used a 15ft rod (which I would class as being long) whilst wading. I have had no real problem reeling fish back to my hand and simply handing them out.

Cliff, I forgot to mention some small low profile plastic containers with individual flaps/doors and have magnetic bottoms. I used to empty the hooks into the compartmemts and put a little label on the lid stating the size of the hooks etc. I think the boxes I have are Korum and they were...

Thanks for watching it John 🙂.
Yes, the Zepp is a nice smooth reel, and as you say no rattles etc. It has a high set narrow line lay but doesn't suffer from line stick. I have a 4 and a 4 3/4 models and the line pick up on the retrieve is good on them both due to the high set line lay. Nice...

Prolly just a pipe dream, but I might get to fish one of those sexy chalk streams eventually lol.
