    11 foot rod sleeve

    I didn’t realise drennan had stopped making their medium black and blue sleeves. Went to buy one of those originally at Amglimg direct and was told they were discontinued. Was sure i had one somewhere but must of sold it. Not keen on the tacklebox ones they’ve just made them so slim it’s too...

    11 foot rod sleeve

    Does anyone make an 11 foot rod sleeve? The drennan medium sleeves used to fit 11 foot rods but can find those anywhere. Don’t fancy the price of the cotswold aquarius one, which seems to be the only one i can find at the moment.

    10’6 Andy Sliwa

    Just seen Andy post this on facebook as know they’re popular on here I have been given the opportunity to get my hands on some 10’6” blanks similar to the blanks I used for my Teme rods (Dave Mason rods). What I need to do is find out if there is enough interest in them for it to be worth my...

    Search for the ultimate roving luggage setup

    At the rip old age of 43 i just can’t sit on a bucket anymore within 5 minutes my lower back has had enough, with or without a cushion. Always have to have my 20 year old jrc roamer seat (3kg) with me which i slid my korum fast mat into. Have not found a bag yet that beats the original roving...

    Daiwa QD Reels

    I’m not a big QD fan. I used to like them years ago but now the newer QD reels especially i’ve found shimano are too quick, there appears to be around 1/4 of a turn from freespool to locked up on my Power aeros 1400 that i use for carping and the 5500 CI4 xtc’s i used to have, which i’ve now...

    OMC magic twig

    Ali has aimed 95% of his marketing at the new anglers who fished over stocked puddles and have probably never tried any other type of fishing. The thing that i can’t stand is all the complete backside kissing he gets for every post which seems to be from people in their 50’s upwards. It’s like...

    11ft 2lb Torrix

    John Hennessy did my one. Need to get a second one built soon, just haven’t got round to it.

    11ft 2lb Torrix

    The action is a lot more through action which i prefer especially on the kennet, can really lock the rod up and pressure fish away from snags and i just have a lot more confidence that i won’t get a hook pull under maximum pressure. Also find the tip a bit more sensitive than a torrix.

    11ft 2lb Torrix

    Personally preferred the freespirit barbel seeker 11 foot blanks, had the 1.5, 1.75 and 2lb torrix blank and a custom made barbel seeker is cheaper than a off the shelf one for some reason.

    2.25lb rods, which won’t break the bank?

    If you’re local to an angling direct try them. Mine has the guru in stock so you could have a look before you buy. They seem a nice rod for the money.

    Evoke blanks

    Thanks Bob, have read that thread several times over. Just wondering what people think of them in actual use. Did you ever compare it to a 11 fooot torrix blank?

    Evoke blanks

    Looking at getting a twin tip 11 foot with an Evoke blank made up. Haven’t heard much about the blanks, seen a few comments on here about them. Just looking for any opinions / reviews on them please. Thanks

    Small river barbel rod

    No unfortunately not. There will be no more 10’6 so i’m told. I missed out on an offer of having the last blank built because i missed the email. Bloody annoyed with myself!

    Small river barbel rod

    Really like the seeker su blanks, just a shame the factory builds are very hit and miss quality wise. Had a 1.5, 1.75 and 2lb 11 foot torrix and just don’t like the blank in any weight for some reason (however i also prefer freespirit carp rods to harrison). Have now got a seeker su built by...
