Picked these up on Ebay last night, never seen them before, don't know what they are like but they are a lot of rod for the money and tick a lot of boxes for me. Wasn't intending on buying them, although I've wanted a spliced in quiver for a while there is very little choice. My first rod ever...

Morning, Looking at getting a pair of rods to fish for perch and roach on the tip on rivers. Mainly the Wey, Hampshire Avon and Thames. I'd really like an old pair of Fox Duo Lite specialist but have been trying to get a pair for months with no joy. So, my question really is would I be...

WANTED Looking for a pair of Fox Duo Lite Specialist (ARD014) rods Cheers Martin

Good afternoon, been a while for me, hope your all good. Just been visiting some friends in Salisbury and have seen vast amounts of various rivers, seem to be everywhere. Without going onto too much detail can anyone point me in the right direction as to what river'(s) I many have seen and any...

As title. These are the oldest of the GT models, before the 5010,6010, 8010's. It's the smallest model, smaller spool and rotor although the bodies are the same size asbthe bigger versions. I have attached a photo of the spool alongside a 6010 so you can see the difference. £40 plus postage...

Looking to get a pair or three custom rods built mainly to use on the Thames for Barbel. Would also be nice if they made lovely tench rods. My initial thoughts were 12ft 2.25lb Torrix but something tells me these aren't that highly regarded, pretty sure I've read that somewhere so any...

Although new to fishing for barbel, being a carp angler for the last 25 years, I learnt to fish trotting a float on my local River Blackwater. Since giving up targeting carp and getting back on the river I've enjoyed my fishing more than I have for a long, long time. I'm on the Loddon and have...

I bought some new handles to change on my new JW young River specialist, assumed you just unscrewed the existing ones but having trouble. Anyone got some advice? Cheers Martin

Just received my new rod , to go with my new pin, for the new season. Custom 11dt 1.75lb Harrison Torrix built by Duncan Smith at Hampshire Tackle, he will be unknown in comparison to some builders but after seeing his work I had my Harrison Aviators built by him last year and so glad I did...

Looking to purchase a new set of scales ad my 60lb RH specimen hunters are just too big, any suggestions? Cheers Martin

Evening, So I bought myself a J W Young Triton to go on my Acolyte for trotting. Now looking for a couple of cheaper options, one for trotting and one for ledgering but not wanting to spend nearly £500 each on these as they are going to be a bit more abused due to the nature of some of the...

I've only ever used old shimano reels for float fishing as I've always loved them and they are bomb proof however it's tike for a change as the small diameter spools really don't help me. So I've just bought a 14ft Acolyte plus and looking for recommendations on a decent reel to go on it, got...

Original Union Jack ultralite with groundsheet, skullcap, carry bag and 2 sets of erection poles. Overall in very good condition for its age, I've tried to photo it as best as possible to show its good bits and bad so please look at the photos carefully. The mozzi mesh has a rip in it. There...

I've just placed an order for a new 11ft 1.75 Torrix with my local rod builder. Over the years I've had rods built or owned rods from all the top carp rod builders, Vic Gibson being my favourite as he used to do all the Yateley builds. Anyway I had Duncan Smith from my local tackle shop build...

So I've been offered a ticket for the stretch of River Kennet at Burghfield, run by advanced angling. Have already spoken to someone on here and appreciate your help but just throwing it out there to see if any else has/does fish it and what the general consensus on it is before I take the...

I stupidly sold a pair of these last year, absolutely loved them. Mine were 12ft 1.5lb, does anyone know if they did the same rod in 1.25lb?

I'm sure some of you are thinking, "Not this guy again!" every time I start a new thread but this time I'm not asking about yet another rod, I've actually got some pictures of some actual barbel to share. So, a couple of years ago when I wasn't enjoying chasing carp I dabbled in a bit of barbel...
