    Torrix or hi s rods

    Agree regarding the butt Richard but if you will look someone above posted " quite tippy with almost rigid butt sections."

    Torrix or hi s rods

    As people say this is subjective to different opinions the one thing I will say is that the Torrix 1.75/2.0 is DEFINITELY NOT TIPPY and has plenty of power towards the butt.

    Torrix or hi s rods

    I have the Torrix 1.75 and 2.00 and they do everything I need, built by Bob Gill and 15 years old. If there was something I deemed better I would buy it but for me there isn't. Can't compare with the Hi S as I haven't seen them.

    Thanks for letting me know about the depreciation Cliff odd that you quoted my post but addressed your reply to Mike. Cars are my guilty pleasure and there are far worse things to spend your money on, each to their own .

    Mine is a new BMW X5 M50i which gets me to the swim quickly but also has a luggage compartment cover that disappears into the boot floor at the press of a button - really handy.

    A conflict of interest?

    Not unusual, secretary of one of our local angling clubs works for southern water, I found out because he mailed me from work. As long as he is doing a job for them is it a problem?.

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    Had a call from MB last week regarding fishing a couple of the clubs stretches, he is a member of the club and took the trouble to make sure we were ok with this and asked if there was anything we wanted him to do. Not all anglers do this. A friend of mine went to the Severn a couple of weeks...

    Highly waterproof jacket recommendations

    Berghaus long cornice - brilliant, just bought a new one after 20 years use out of the previous one.

    Ticket price increase.

    One of the reasons Joe is that they use us as eyes and ears, on one of our stretches we regularly inform the farmer about sheep in the river.

    Ticket price increase.

    Most leases increase every year by inflation and in order to keep the waters and the clubs solvent clubs have to increase prices. As far as I am aware all clubs are non profit making, the profits they make are banked to be in a position to lease/buy other waters that become available. Here in...
