This rod is an ideal trotting rod for barbel and chub, with plenty of power in the blank. It’s in excellent condition and comes in a corduroy tube. The rod bag it comes in is not original though, it is for the 14ft version of this rod but it still works ok. Collection or could meet up near...
I have a Mark Tunley 12ft Harrison Torrix 1.75lb with Alps reel seat, dark green whippings on a green blank for sale. In good condition, £200 ono. Collection only or can deliver to Lincoln/Newark area when I next fish the Trent.
Shimano Super Ultegra (AX MATCh 45SPC) 15ft float rod. This is the...
I’ve just bought a 5 inch Stanton for trotting which doesn’t have a ratchet but does have a drag knob on the front (or at least I assume that’s what it is). Problem is tightening the drag knob has no effect on the free running of the spool. Is there an easy fix to this or am I going to have to...
Just a quick heads up for anyone thinking of buying a long rod for trotting. Bristol Angling are selling the Maver Signature Pro Classic rods in 14ft and 15ft at almost half price - £125 and £135 respectively. The longer version weighs 174g and by all accounts they’re a very decent river rod...
Allcocks match aerial with line guard fitted by Gary Mills when serviced about 2 years ago. Not used since, spins well. It has an extra drill hole and two rivetts on the backplate, possibly from a previous line guard. £125 posted.
Pin is in reasonable condition given its age and spins freely. More suited to trotting on rivers with a reasonable flow or for ledgering. They have a kind of drag lever and an audible ratchet. Not sure what it’s worth but £50 posted seems reasonable looking at others on the web.
This is a BFS baitcasting 6ft 5inch rod, perfect for finesse fishing for perch. It’s had very little use and is in excellent condition. It’s a lot of fun to use and is also capable of dealing with the odd rogue jack. I’m after £75 posted.
This Shimano Nexave 1000 is brand new and unused. It’s the perfect budget reel for dropshotting and jigging. It is pretty light at 215g and surprisingly smooth with 3bb + 1. I’m after £30 posted.
This rod has only been used half a dozen times and is in excellent condition. I have caught several barbel on it using Silstar match line 0.22mm straight through and found it well balanced and more than man enough for the task. It weighs 8oz at 15ft and 9oz at 17ft. £100 posted.
Avenger 13ft float rod with screw down reel seat fitted. Original version of this rod with red tipped black whippings. Full length and in good condition. The Avenger is a stepped up version of the Titan and is an ideal chub trotting rod, capable of dealing with the occasional barbel. It’s also...
I am selling my German flecktarn jacket which I have only worn about half a dozen times watching my son play football. He’s left home now, so don’t have any use for it. Size wise, I’m 5ft 11” and weigh 13 stone and it’s a good fit. It’s in very good condition, £25 posted.

Had a look at Bob Roberts’ Trent map and noticed a tribute to Mike Townsend who died recently aged only 48. Although I didn’t know him personally, I used to read his blog. He was a very good angler, especially when it came to roach, and came across as being very humble. Always admired his...
This chair is the most comfortable chair I've ever used but is just too heavy for me as I still like to fish those swims furthest from the carpark, at least whilst I still can ! It weighs about 19lbs so is only really suitable for anglers who fish near to their car. It cost me £125 and has been...
I have a mint condition Okuma Kennet centrepin for sale complete with Okuma neoprene pouch and 70yds or so of Drennan Float Fish 6lb line. The Kennet is black and has a permanent line guard. Asking £80 posted ONO. I'll give it a few days on here before putting it on ebay.
Thanks Nick
