Same here, single rod for me since I fish smaller rivers but if I did fish 2 rods I'd have matching set ups. 4000 sized on a 1.75

Thanks mate, unfortunately the 1.75 is out of stock, I've already got the 1.25 and don't think it's worth having the 1.5. Although sometimes on the W.Avon a 1.75 feels like a flood water rod 🤣

Yeah, Barton on BAA, I struggle but I know others do well.

I understand leverage, I was just wondering where any extra power in reserve comes from if the rod is already compressed right through

We'll maybe have to try and arrange a meet up, I wouldn't mind seeing a Torrix in the flesh. Very least you can have a good laugh at my angling skill (I'm very good at casting into trees)

I know a couple of guys who absolutely clean up on the Avon at Barton most trips, although I don't know how they do it as in the past 2 seasons I can count the amount of barbel I've had on one hand 😂 I'm terrible for buying rods, I always think there's something better so buy one and then find...

Yeah I saw that post, the Tamers were very high on my list but I kept seeing posts about how soft they were. I've moved most of my tackle over to Guru/Korda now, I just lost a bit of confidence in all my Korum stuff, especially end tackle. It's daft because of how long I've been fishing and my...

Get yourself a solid glass or carbon tip section, cut back the broken tip a little and slide in the solid section and whip some eyes on. You can find the old video online of John Wilson fixing a broken rod in this way. If you did just want to replace it, grab a Shakespeare Solitude 11ft 1.25...

Thanks Nigel, took me a while to try one, I just didn't know what I wanted and the more modern styling of them with the cork/foam handle put me off the looks a little. I had tried the new Drennan barbel rod and was disappointed after such a long wait for them, felt just like the £50 range of...

Hi guys. So this season I've switched over to the Guru dual tip specialist rods, I currently have the 1.25 and will be getting the 1.75 For those who have used these rods or own them, are they true through action? I've only ever really used korum rods and a couple of the Drennan specialist...

I'm surprised how many like the bolt and run kits, I found them very poor, the bead pulls off the swivel before the run ring releases off the bead in my experience with them. I switch to the Fox/OMC tulip type beads that do the same thing. I have since seen Atomic do a version that you can have...

I don't think people laughing at their product release was the response the marketing team were hoping for 😂👍🏻 But in the past I have been pretty much 100% korum. I took a long break from fishing and upon returning I bought into korum as I've always liked the Specialist side of things and their...

Finance departments must be on extended leave and everyone has taken advantage 😂

Hey, that lunch box took some development! The way that lid seals to keep your food fresh is cutting edge engineering! And those locking clips! Thing of beauty! I bet they make a lovely 'click' sound as you push them down. Lot of money being wasted by the Rather Outdoors group, Fox Rage who...

Omega rods down to £55 this weekend at AD

12 months after launch they were discontinued. I had the 1.25 and wouldn't have classed that blank as fast action, was quite soft and sloppy. I had a waggle of the 1.75 and that wasn't too bad. I saw the 1.75's being sold for £47 at one point from AD, at that price you couldn't go wrong...

Edit, didn't have the 2.25 Sorry

I never understand when people complain about stuff like that when the angler is question is doing exactly what they are employed to do. Even Carl Smith, his videos are cleverly rammed with product placement. But as someone else posted, he seems to favour the older 90's rods from various...

I don't recall seeing much of the MK2, my memory is fuzzy of that time but I'm sure the MK2 came in after the business was taken over by Masterline and moved out of Redditch. The reels look very similar apart from the reel seat mech. Still very nice reels.

Rolling pin MK1, I personally would have no issues buying one in 2025. No idea how many were sold but I don't recall many coming back in for repair to the reel seat mech. Even Rays own personal reels which were well used judging by the state of them when he sent them in for a clean, I don't...
