Hi folks, For sale is this beautiful Trudex II 2500 from J. W. Young & Sons. It’s a 4” reel with narrow drum and spins silently and smoothly with zero wobble. If it’s not mint condition it’s as close as you could get to mint, and it comes with the original box. I think these are better than...

After much soul searching I have decided to part with the above rod. I don’t believe it needs any introduction on this forum as those who have them sing their praises frequently enough. I acquired this one fairly recently having owned and loved the 13’ 6” for a few years. I’m honestly not into...

Hi all, Been off the forum for Lent, so just reappearing now. Hope everyone is well :) I'm having a bit of a gear cull, so please see below and PM me if interested and I will reply with photos. 17' Drennan Acolyte Float Rod (in superb condition with original rod sleeve) £180 pick-up only in...

Hi all, I’m selling this lovely little reel that I got from Rich Isaacs but is surplus to requirements now. Mechanically perfect— it belonged to Rich!— with a 3500B handle. Cosmetically the body is excellent, and the spool is good (some fading to the lettering and the rim has been polished). It...

Sorry, don’t know where to post this. Any other iPhone users struggling to access the menu on the homescreen? I have to scroll down and enter from a different tab, but it works when I’m there. Al

For sale is an absolutely immaculate example of this wonderful float rod. It's in Acolyte Plus territory in terms of weight (177g if memory serves me right) but far more robust, with a fast and sensitive tip but reserves of power for big chub or perhaps average barbel. It will happily handle 6lb...

Hi chaps, I have had this super rod for just under a year after a swap with another BFW member. I caught my PB barbel with it on its first outing, but it hasn't had a lot of love since then as I have landed on a preference for 11' barbel rods. The original owner conceived the rod as a...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if you can remove the rig board from the above box? Al

Hello gentlemen, My Trakker Nano chair is perfect... almost. What would make it even better still would be longer extendable legs for the front. I sometimes find that I need them to extend more than they do. Has anyone messed around with modding the legs of a chair? Or can anyone point me...

…on a single item of tackle? My buddy showed me this Paul Witcher reel on EeBayGum. The mind boggles really. I can’t imagine ever breaking the £1k barrier on an item of tackle to be honest. I struggle when it’s more than a couple of hundred to tell you the truth.

TWO December barbel of course 😃😃 Nice return for a short trip on a “Yorkshire” river somewhere. Second fish (bottom photo) was 8lbs 8oz and gave a good account of itself in a rising river. First fish went off like a rocket and scared the living daylights out of me! I thought my Speedia was...

Well it's worth a shot, isn't it?! I'm encouraged that Rich Isaacs managed to get his mitts on one after posting here... perhaps lightning will strike twice and all that? Based in York but happy to travel etc. Al

Evening all, I have for sale an absolutely superb pair of 10000XTE baitrunners, each with a spare spool. They are in mint condition, with no more than the lightest of marks from use. Both are mechanically sound with bail arm, drag, free-spool functioning perfectly. One is boxed with paperwork...

Hi all, Looking for an 11’ Torrix 1.75 for small(er) river barbel fishing and/or rolling meat. Not fussy about fittings. Been doing my homework and think one of these would best suit my fishing contexts. Would be grateful for a PM if you think you have one you’d part with 👍🏻

For sale is this rare Spectron M2 Spliced Tip float rod in excellent condition. It is the full 13' and the condition of the blank is excellent. Super-fast action and quick recovery as you'd expect from a spliced tip rod, but loads of power in the bottom two-thirds of the rod. Weighs in at 185g...

Hi chaps, I'm interested to how secure the above reel is when in casting position. Does it clip in place? If not, does it maintain that position fairly well? My reason for asking is that I am considering trying one out for pike fishing. My theory is that this reel in its casting position...

Another "interesting" product from Korum. All the elegance of an Austin Metro 🙄 https://www.korum.co.uk/en/products/chairs-barrows/kp-k0300050

I took a punt on a narrow drum speedia on eBay this week. It was £47 with seconds left and I idly lobbed in a £48 bid and won (I’m so sorry if it was you on £47!) Anyway, the reel arrived today and, as expected, needed a bit of tlc. The seller claimed it hadn’t been used for forty years but ran...

This is the smaller of the Super Specialist cases (will fit 3000/4000 size reel). Excellent condition- basically as new. £15 posted

A couple of spare spools that need re-homing. Excellent condition, nice and clean. £35 posted
