    Which of these rods.....

    One of the most disappointing float rods I have owned was a Harrison GTI 15ft SU. I found it heavy, numb and unrefined.

    Spate river rise

    The free stretch is underwater unsurprisingly. The footbridge over the Darren at forty steps has gone. London Road and Victoria Road in Walton le Dale shut due to flooding.

    17/18ft float rod

    If that's true Drennan take my money now! Would be ideal for a number of scenarios for my fishing.

    Rod for grayling

    I have borrowed a couple of their float rods for a weekend, didn't like them much. The RRP of a new longer one is not far off what you will pay for an Acolyte. They might make sense to me second hand perhaps if priced accordingly.

    Grubs are terrible. I wear Bekina Thermolite, Dunlop Purofort thermoplus or Skellerup Quatro at work.

    Tri-Cast John Allerton Rod, anyone use it?

    They are an absolute steal second hand. Only problem being they come up for sale less frequently than a Triaxial does. In the possibly 15 years I have owned my TSI I have never seen another for sale. In that time I have seen three Triaxial and bought two of them.

    Tri-Cast John Allerton Rod, anyone use it?

    Two Triaxial 13-15 and a 14ft XS reside here also. Agree that the Triaxial is a markedly more powerful rod. It's only occasionally I need to get the 15ft TFG tsi power float rod out as a Triaxial isn't man enough.

    Recommendations sought: Float Rod for trotting for Roach & Chub

    I have the Signature Pro & XS sold both my Acolytes as I didn’t use them again after buying the Maver & Tricast rods.

    13ft rods ,love them or hate them ?

    13ft 2 piece rods I dislike, I find them too cumbersome in the car, getting to my swim and when moving swims etc. 13ft 3 piece are better I have found. Currently using 14 foot 2 Tricast Trilogy extreme range feeder rods for my big casting bream & tench fishing. I will be trying them on running...

    Is it me? Is it real?

    Shoot, Shovel, Shut up. ;) If you enjoy the books of Jim Corbett, I would recommend you have a look at the books on similar subjects written by Kenneth Anderson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Anderson_(writer)
