Thanks everybody. Was intending to have a go if it was too cold/marginal for barbel, which is what I’ll probably do anyway.

To the people who know their river roaching, what conditions make you change all plans and get out fishing for them, what’s ok and when is it hopeless? Cheers

It only had one top section

Hi Jake, The rod is still available but it is actually a Barbel Power rather than Big River (as I originally put). See if your friend is still interested, they’re more than welcome to come and have a look. Cheers, Matt

Sorry John, just checked and it’s the Power Barbel 2lb+, not Big River.

Another Harrison alternative is the 2 1/4 standard specialist. I’ve got to admit that mine haven’t had a good enough test yet (either barbelling or tenching) because my Chimera 2s do nearly everything in that respect. But if you’re after a powerful but progressive actioned rod have a word with...

Good point. Possibly due to the tench ‘season’ being so short or the carp waters having waiting lists that are decades long? And in reality, are there even that many venues that fall into the bracket we’re talking about? Genuine question as I am very much not in the know

Snap to all of that Joe, just swap in Yorkshire gravel pits for your mere and casters and worms for your corn and boilies! Harder and harder to find/access good waters though

I really enjoyed fishing the same place as you, Joe. Some of them are just the most ancient looking things, though I guess being buried in peat for decades would have that effect! The potential of hundreds/thousands of other unfished and inaccessible waters in Scandinavia will probably never be...

Near a town called Pocklington in East Yorkshire, George. Only one of each weight I’m afraid.

There seems to be loads of recent interest in custom/hand built rods and I’ve still got this. I also have a 1.25lb rod with an additional quiver tip top section as well as the top section of 1lb Sportex rod, the bottom half of which broke - £100. They’d be nice for tench and chub as well as...

Hi All, Another alternative for a bendy but powerful rod are Dave Lumb’s Standard Specialists. I don’t know which Harrison blank he builds them on but I’m sure one of you lads will!

If you decide this is the camera for you after all, shout up soon cos it’s on eBay 🙂

A few £s off...

Three of these that I‘ve used for a couple of springs tenching. Unmarked with spare spools and in their boxes. Without checking I think each reel’s spools are filled with 10lb and 15lb Synchro. £90 each or £250 for the three with a bit towards postage if you want them sending but collection...

A good fishing camera in good condition with flip-round screen, fantastic battery life and comes with a plug-in wireless remote and battery charger. It does not have a memory card or a case. £120 £90

Pleasure Sean. That‘s what we’re like in Yorkshire, despite what they say! 😆

Hi Sean, I’ve got 13, 14 and 15. If you haven’t got them let me have your address and I’ll send you them
