Another rod I’m not using and letting go This one a little bit more special Very sought after and very uncommon rods these. They had a very high price tag of around £400 and had quite a bit of development done on them from Dave Harrell not that I buy rods based on endorsement but he had a good...

£130. Mint condition original bag. Perfect stream/beck/small river trotting rod. Lines up to 4lb floats to 4g very tippy and extremely light little river rod. It’s perfect for graying that’s a what I used it for predominantly with a 4 inch light pin. Made for the job Don’t dismiss it as a...

I’ve gone in a different direction with the smaller bolo floats. (3g 4g 5g) It’s simply down to personal quality standards that I can’t consistently get the smaller balsa floats to the visual standards that i want So I’ve swapped to a closed cell foam body for everything but the 10g floats...

It’s a pin I used on small rivers becks and streams mainly. 4 inch by 3/4 in the BJ design cut out back plate and spool to make it super light. At 180g exactly on my scales it is the lightest pin I have owned. Condition is excellent and slightly upgraded with Japanese ezo Abec7 bearings, the...

For many years I’ve religiously stuck with 1 discorger type only. Not the most exciting topic granted but I’ve bought and used hundreds of them over the years and the only ones Ive ever deem worthy of my tackle box are the exceed tools based on the fact they are bright and visible in both white...

Now this really isn’t my bag. So go easy on me if you have questions because you could literally fit my pole fishing knowledge on the back of a 1st class stamp. This pole belongs to my step dad and it was bought new probably 25 or more years ago. It’s hardly been touched since as it’s just not...

I’m testing the water on here first with this before going wider afield. I have for sale a mint conditioned fully restored and rebuilt carbotec float rod. The blank has been polished, re built with the original Fuji titanium guides and a brand new handle as per the original specification has...

Disclaimer to start! I’m not responsible should you decide to carry out anything I describe in this post. All will make sense as you read on. So last year I bought 2 avenger 2000 rods both in sorry looking states. I stripped and cut and spliced and built with the help of a well known...

Like every thing that’s brilliant drennan have knocked these on the head and bought out a replacement that is nothing like them. Anyone got some they would flog me or suggest an alternative that is similar No plastic loops or draw strings no elastic straps just a neoprene set preferably snug...

before making any more I want to clear what I have of these floats. Simple stuff just pm me with the batch number you want and I send them out on Friday. All prices include post. Batch 1 and batch 2 = 7x 10g £19.50 each Batch 3 = 3x 6g 3x 4g £17.50 Batch 4 = 3x 6g 3x 4g £17.50 Batch 5 =...

I bought this about a year ago from a forum member who prior to the sale told me it needed a bearing. It had been like this since new. I then replaced both bearings with Japanese abec 7 high quality ones. Since doing this I’ve improved the reel further by removing all the acceptable...

I’ve wanted for ages to make some floats. As 80% of my fishing is done with trotting floats on rivers, Ive used a lot of different floats and it’s nice to eventually put some together like I want them. Theres not really a long list of things that I look for in a float for long trotting, just...

I have several sets of scales including 3 of these and the set I’m selling is my cleanest set being in almost brand new condition. You’ll struggle to find a set as internally or externally as good and as clean as these. Very very minor storage marks only which you have to really look for to...

With the great Garry Mills. It’s a long post or story if you like so if you get board easy, maybe read something else 😂 Last winter i bought a reel from our float rod guru Chris Jones which, if you’ve seen my previous posts, particularly from the trent, I’ve been battering the life out of. It...

I know nothing about these other than what I’ve read which sounds very interesting for us specimen river boys. The supera has been about ages now and usually associated with pellet and carp waggler rods but to see something come out in sensible lengths with good casting and line ratings, it’s...

For me personal bests don’t necessarily just mean the biggest of a certain species but they can also mean biggest of a certain species caught in a certain way or on a certain method. Also to make it clear I don’t count personal bests that are not caught by design…. Ie chub on barbel gear, perch...

Anyone saw the stunning Aurora tonight. Strongest they’ve been in the uk for over 20 years. We got some absolutely amazing pictures in the crystal clear sky’s above Cambridge. Please share your pics if you were out admiring it too.

It’s rare I use anything but a bog standard stemmed bolo float and like most people I’ve got hundreds of others that come out rarely but are handy when you need them. I’m selling a bunch of those types off because I’ve got far too many I couldn’t physically lose them all in my lifetime. All...

Before jumping to conclusions….. it was caught March 7th. I wasn’t able to share the photograph until yesterday when it was published in our clubs magazine (historic rule) Anyway it’s a pb barbel for me. I don’t normally post about my captures in any detail and I’m certainly not one for...

Calling all float trotters (again) Where do you stand on this (vote) and why. I love a spliced tip for trotting for several reasons whether they we’re initially designed for that reason or not. Striking or whipping the tip with the wrist performs a very positive and fast strike. Additional...
