I am thinking about taking a trip to Linear after the Tench. Has anybody had any experiences positive or negative? I'd probably arrive the night before and camp, before getting up at first light to see if I can spot them rolling. Manor Farm or St John's would appear to be the lakes to target but...

Well done Phil. An absolute monster. It obviously takes an extremely talented angler to catch a 16lb+ Barbel from the Hants Avon. :cool::cool: I would say that the pictures of the Salmon were also fantastic. 40lb? 48lb? Not quite 40lb? Who cares! It's a fish of a lifetime and it's amazing to...

Thanks - looks like a good option. The Smartcast has been a useful bit of kit..... when it works...! To be honest, recently I've only been using it as a depth finder when boat-fishing on a lake. I forgot to bring the sensor back on board and motored off with it bashing against the side of the...

I found this usually useless but occasionally very useful. However I think I have managed to break the remote sensor. I was using it when boat fishing and managed to bash it about a bit. It still tells me the water temperature, but not the depth! I have tried Humminbird customer service over...

Going on ebay!

Greys GRXi fly rod #9 / 9 ft long - unused so perfect condition. Ideal for Fly Fishing for Pike but also single-handed Salmon/Sea Trout and apparently light saltwater work although cannot confirm this. I bought two of these and on the other one I've had Pike to over 20lbs and there's plenty of...

No worries - glad it arrived safely

Whoops - not this one. This is still available.

Drennan Series 7 Avon/Quiver twin tip rod. It's the 1¼lb version however it comes with the 3oz and 4oz tips rather than the lighter ones. I wanted it for river fishing so this seemed sensible. The Avon top is standard. It comes with a bag (marked 1½lb t/c) and a protective tube. Bought...

Greys GRXi Rod #9 / 9 ft long. Comes with an Okuma Airframe reel loaded with a #9 floating line and three Pike Flies. Only been used a couple of times (the fly line itself is unused) so perfect condition. £90 posted

PM for you

Dundas aquaduct used to have nice Perch in it, as did the turning bay on the way to Limpley Stoke.

I have both and would say that the Chimera has the softer top! That's comparing a Chimera 2 compared to 1.75lb Torrix. I would also say that the Chimera has a softer action and I prefer it for the sort of fishing I do, but the Torrix is more versatile and can cope with heavy feeders etc...

In all seriousness, I can confirm I have no idea who Mike is but thanks anyway! It is a lovely rod and perfect for rolling meat or small river fishing. I have had Barbel up to 12lb on it and it's got a lovely playing action. However I also lost the biggest Barbel I have ever seen while using it...

Thank you Mike - I'll send you that tenner I promised you.

received - have PM'd you back

Hi Clive - I have sent you a couple of PM's - have you not received them?

I bought it off someone on BFW about 3 years ago and it's been a great rod to use, particularly for rolling meat. It's in decent condition and I can email photos to anyone interested. I would be looking for £80 plus postage.
