Thank you all, very useful. I hadn't read all your replies in time to make use of them this morning, but am looking forward to getting back out already. Given my current ineptitude I left the waders at home, this meant that I struggled to trot a float through some of the pools that looked...

Evening all, if wading with a long float rod what net do people use? A trout style one that clips on waders?

Hi Andy, thanks for keeping such a cracking site going. I’ve just got round to making a long overdue donation.

I’ll probably plump for the free spirit or TB own brand, thank you for the recommendations. I’m sure the Chris Brown is good but is beyond what I can justify for a net. Steve, I have used a spoon net in the past and do think they are better. However, they don’t roll up and go in the quiver.

I’ve popped an order in, thank you.

I did clock you recommending these in the past, the net looks just the job. Unfortunately it seems they’ve stopped selling them.

Happy Christmas all, I hope the port and mince pies are treating you all well. Does anyone have any recommendations for a 36inch replacement mesh? Ideally a good bit deeper than the standard Drennan Specialist one. I find it a bit small for conveniently resting barbel, particularly when bank...

Did you warm to them Graham?

That's a good deal.

Having a look on Mark Tunleys Facebook it sounds like that there will be, just further down the line.

Although just to be clear, I’m not that fussy, Dave kindly said he had a 4 piece and a silver wye button is just not for me. Any standard cork handle would do the job.

Thats my next stop Rich 👍 I do like the idea of one with a screw down reel seat for centrepin use. Weirdly, although I do like the 11ft 1.75lb Torrix I bought a year or so back, I have changed my tune and decided I am not a fan of it with the centrepin.

The ability of my Aviator Flex to both cast and play fish nicely is almost hard to believe. They're still enjoyable to catch a 6lb tench on despite being rated at 3lb 2oz. Sometimes when playing one I've thought, this would be amazing if they did a scaled down version. It will be interesting to...

Hi Alec, I’m not especially keen on the Peregrine builds, thank you though.

Hi Derek, the blank looks the same as the Standard Specialists. I am hoping the action will be similar and in 11ft. Dave Lumb describes the SS as 'Compound action with a tip that bends easily into a progressively stiffer butt while retaining a through action.' From what I've read that...

Evening all If anyone has one of these they wouldn’t mind parting with feel free to pop me a message. I’m after the 11ft 1lb10oz/ 1.6lb, I believe it is referred to as the SU Avon. Thank you

Hi Mike, please can I take Avon Days and Stour Ways if it is still available?

30lb braid straight through sounds brutal 😳 What braid are you using?
