Now your talking Alec, we called them Donkey tops,us old uns the through action of these quivers on such a rod will be a delight I am sure. I have in the loft an old John Wilson quiver rod, 11 ft again a full length quiver top section, bought it second hand, but it's a glass quiver which makes...

Come on Alec, we are intruiged as to the allure of your next addition to the collection. What on Earth can it be?

So so sorry...

No words can say enough Simon, but we all have you and your wife in our thoughts.

The IM6 is a lovely blank. Shame it's discontinued.

My first barbel was on 5lb line on a small ledger rod, Kellaways, Andrew, the Chippenham bit, loved it down there. So many twists and turns, deeps and shallows. Like you I found the Teme too, different gravy 😏

I find the silicon tubing fitted on the Torrix to be faultless, it is positioned about an inch from the tip ring foot. I have tried many other gizmos and this is by far the safest and easiest.It is for the Drennan mini starlight really but a larger tube slipped over the original makes it a...

Problem was it was too far down tip I suppose.

With silicon in place was it still a problem?

Location. Single big baits.

😁

Yep I mentioned in my post, the backrest version is better imo, the rucksack can get in the way imo.

Doesn't look very versatile to me, and frankly you are sacrificing comfort I reckon. I have a few chairs and all seem a bit bulky and heavy for roaming, except for one I bought on a whim and it is a brilliant little stool, the 'Shaky' with backrest. No good for sloping banks but very good on...

Slacks and creases 😁

I have no interest really once it has been caught, and then again and a new record claimed it is becoming very 'carpy'. But each to their own. I would rather see 20 male barbel in my stretch with a few females than a big 'spinster, female.

I have one, I think it's for bunching up the net when roving.

Never mind the 'how' can we have the 'why'? 🤔

Oh! no... walk away Alec.

Not sure what length leaders are Gary, but I guess the reason I for instance prefer an underarm cast is that as kids we all mostly fished with a float, not a lead whereby this cast was better suited. Now we have powerful rods that are designed to launch heavy leads 100yds or more, they are...

It's a wand of a rod, I have fluked two over 15lb barbel on this rod, and was never an issue. A classic all rounder. I have never used similar for tench, but should be fine, I suppose you will fish carp style? Well they would be fine, I use 12 ft 1.5 tc Drennan specialist rods for most of my...
