Thanks for all the advice, now looking for a new pin to go on my new 11ft 1.75lb Torrix that's in the process of being built. Is the JW Young River specialist a good shout?

Sorry to hijack your post @Jon Kennard , I'll take the discussion elsewhere.

Sorry mate, just read it properly and you said you hadn't used it. I'll give you what you paid. Never even seen one before, this is all new to me but I'm intrigued and they look quality. Pm you now mate.

How much do you want including postage @Alec Hague ?

Please excuse my ignorance but would this be suitable for ledgering?

Cheers Richard, appreciate the advice, exactly the sort of thing i was looking for!! Assume that's what you have on your Torrix?

I forgot, here's the photos of the rods he built me last year......

I've just placed an order for a new 11ft 1.75 Torrix with my local rod builder. Over the years I've had rods built or owned rods from all the top carp rod builders, Vic Gibson being my favourite as he used to do all the Yateley builds. Anyway I had Duncan Smith from my local tackle shop build...

You got any pics of the Tunley mate?

Richard, does that mean any rod buikded that uses Harrison blanks is able to get a spliced tip from them?

For anyone that's interested in the size comparison.........

If it's a choice between and old shimano or an SS then it's a no brainer, gor for the Daiwa. I love the old XT7 shimano's but they don't compare to original SS's. Personally I think the 750 is too small but I suppose if your holding the rod then weight might come into consideration. I have a...

@Daniel Earl I think the old GTM with fighting drag would be even better, they came in smaller sizes.

All the old XT7 shimano baitrunners had the same size bodies. The 3500-4000-4500 were superseded by 5010-6010-8010. The 3500 had a smaller rotor and bail arm than the bigger two but the bodies are the same size. The biggest 4500/8010 had deeper spools but the sam diameter as the 4000/6010...

You got any pictures of these mate?

Good perch in the canal then Graham?

Thoughts on this, for the price? https://www.thomasturner.com/shop/team-normark-titan-match-12-3pce-carbon-float-rod-bag/

Cheers John, so lots of fish but none of the bigger Kennet Barbel? I know they are few and far between, like my carp fishing over the past 25 years, it suits me, I want low stocked big fish venues, sadly a dieing thing in the carp world. I don't want to know too much info, I like to work it...

Thanks for replying John 😉 I've looked into ot a bit more and seen that a small part of the AA bit is shared with RDAA and they then have miles of river either side of it. Still tempted, a bit, as I remember it, from being up the lake years ago, being a really nice stretch but just not sure if...

Absolutely amazing. I didn't reply to one thread, explained why and apologised 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So let me get this right....... Since I joined I started some threads, sorry thought that was what a forum was for 🤣 Those threads have seen nearly 200 replies to them. Without them this forum would have...
