    Shimano Antares multi match 42/45 fast action REDUCED to sell

    Float rod addiction! I also have a Spectron m2 14xp, bought about 7 years ago - however I lost 3/4 inch off the top one day a couple of seasons back - still performs great, but my OCD kicked in and I started a very patient search for another one, and then conny came along.........

    Shimano Antares multi match 42/45 fast action REDUCED to sell

    Yeah I know it’s a different beast - just saying I couldn’t justify shelling out for yet another rod! I have the 450 spc in the garage gathering dust, found the newer speedcast version better balanced. I have it on good authority that the conny is a lighter version of the Spectron m2 xp, so...

    If hadn’t just bought a 14ft Conny G XP (which I’d been searching for for ages) I could have justified this rod 👍😩

    Shimano Tribal Extreme XTA 5500

    Just found this reel whilst clearing out the garage. Never been used. Original padded hard case, spare spool etc, but no paperwork (god knows where). Any idea what these are worth? I’ll never use it so along with loads of stuff I haven’t used for years, time to sell and create some space. P.S...

    Rod Recommendation

    Dave, some good answers already. I've got an 11ft Torrix 2lb TC. Dave Lumb built it for me, and in my eyes the best Nidd rod I could have. I've tried a few. Plenty of power for when hit and hold is needed, but with flex a plenty to deal with the unexpected lunges. If you want a waggle let me know!

    Hardy Marksman Specimen 11.6 Avon Rod

    Cracking rod used about 10 times, and not for a few years (hence selling). Comes with original aluminium ferrule protectors, bag and tube. Open to sensible offers. Go on, you know you want to...........

    15 foot trotting rod

    Daiwa XP are mega. Other choice is a Shimano 45spc. Make sure its a 30g CW version. Both work really well, or have for me!
