I have these 2 beauties for sale, they have been excellent on my basias since summer , great reels for lead work. Both very smooth runners in great condition given their age.. Both come with grey arbours. One has slight pitting to aluminum. But doesn't retract from the mechanics. 185 for the...

Hi Neil, I recently had prescription purple amythist rectolites in my Oakley Juliet x metals. Done by Reglaze Glasses Direct. They gave a great library of options. Jim

I'll stick with my latest models ta. Btw, tackle uk , have the 2.75s at 250...

Aah ok. I'm not a wallis caster for my efforts!. But the majority of the swims I fish don't require the ability, so on the occasions that I know I'll be fishing the far bank. I'll put my twin power xg on👍

I've not had any problems with my mk1 15ft hi s. And that has 12 plus tip. So I'm going to mirror that set up Btw, when you rebuilt your 15ft his, how many did you put on?...

They look like they would be good for grayling 😆

Yeah , but the barbel love em!!

Flowing water?, if so I won't use uncoated unless I knew my rig had settled perfectly?. Un coated braid, will flutter in the flow and has a mind of its own, not really suited to river work. I fish the trent and it's quite varied, deep glides, shallow riffles, it has it all! Imo it's...

Coated, or uncoated?

Hi chaps, Im in the market for said reel, in black or silver or the light weight version. My Shakespeare Lincoln has had its days. Fair price paid. If anyone has one gathering dust or just time to move on , I would be very interested. Thanks....

Oh , you must have the mk2 his 15ft then...

So the best big fish rod you mentioned there has 13 ?? That's if it's the mk1.

Thanks for the advice Richard. Would you still have 14 guides minimum, if you were using 8gm to 12gm floats as a minimum ?.

They adore pomegranate seeds on the Derbyshire Derwent 🩸

Thanks Ralph, that's very informative and interesting, . Excellent job on the rebuilds btw!!👌

That's the same guide that I'm going to put on mine , wow I knew the minimas were very strong, but didn't realize they were that hard. Im thinking of a 12 set guide on 15ft as it's an out and out big fish rod. What are your thoughts Ralph?

I've gone for the 16mm high stand off minina but ring , at 20 mm it's huge , and stands off the rod a massive 55mm I think it looks a bit flimsy personally and prone to getting caught, especially by my clumsy self 😆. It would only take a few straightens after getting caught before it snapped!.

Evening Etienne, my rod builder should receive the blank this week, and like yourself am deciding on guides and seat etc. For me it's definitely minima high stand off guides, they are 30 percent lighter than ceramic guides and extremely strong , even unbreakable in normal use. This is a must on...

There readily available now Etienne

And the same goes for mono!
