Anyone wishing to see my finished rod its on Trafford Tackle Repairs facebook page. I will be collecting it tomorrow hopefully. Health warning : "Wear your sunglasses"🤣

A huge well done Bill, could you smile next time please:(

Thanks Steve, I have just phoned and left a message

Thanks Kevin, I had a look.

As above and here is hoping someone may have a pair gathering dust, must be in A1 condition and preferably with original cases/bags. Thank you in advance. Tony

Paul, try Dave Kelly at Trafford Tackle Repairs, not sure of his multiplier experience but worth a call.

Welcome Stephen, as you have already found there is loads of help and advice on this great forum, enjoy.:)

Drinking straws Alec, it can be a bit hit and miss with sizes but you can usually find a size that fits. I have also used catapult elastic.

What has been noticeable to me is the lack of insect/fly life around when I've been working outside and or fishing/birdwatching, I've put this down to the harder winter we had in 2022, nature has just slowed down. Two garden ponds I look after were four weeks late with frogs mating, I have only...

Went out yesterday for the first time in over a month as I had work and a trip to Scotland for some bird watching. Clanked the gate of the fishery open at 04.45 and sat there with just the odd bleep for nearly twelve hours and then finally got a drop back I could have a go at at and two...

Julian, I don't think the rod ring spacing police have been formed yet !😄

Before the threads about the Kingfisher Chub Specialist were started I knew a little about the rod as Martin James had made me aware of its existence and his input into its status so when collecting my blank from Mick Crone last Saturday, he gave me more of the history of the rod and its...

Micks original design has remained the same for my spec I saw no reason to tamper or bastardise a rod that was no broken, I had spoken to both Martin James and Mick Crone and they both agreed nothing needed changing. What I did do was personalise the rod. The rod is not intended to be a...

Dropped off my blank today along with the spec to Dave Kelly at Trafford Tackle Repairs. Dave has done a few repairs and rebuilds for me over the last few years his work is A1. Fifteen minutes discussing my requirements and tweaks to personalise the rod I left the blank in his capable hands...

You are very lucky to own one Julian, I saw an original yesterday and was blown away by it and it was a pleasure to have " waggle" with it. A true work of art. I learnt a lot about the rods development and design from Mick yesterday who was a very good friend of Mick Holgate. I did ask him to...

At least you went out Alec, I decided to work instead and glad I did as it got cold up here today. Tight lines next time.

One fishery I visit actually provides a huge 10m skip for all our rubbish the fishery owner was astonished to find that someone had brought and dumped their old kitchen units in the skip. It is very sad as Jim has said in post 15, that society don't give a "toss" and despite the " Keep Britain...

Pike: Me 21lb 4oz and Cath 22lb, about two hours apart, anybody notice the pattern emerging? This is our last entry 😂

I'm Billy no mates Steve. However I took Cath skate fishing and she had a 192lber and mine was a tiddler at 190lb, I have not taken her fishing since ..
