Any interest to anyone ? https://www.maggotdrowning.com/forums/threads/insight-barbel-rod.258740/

There are any number of similar bagso from military suppliers ~ eg, https://heinnie.com/maxpedition-noatak-gearslinger

Interesting - six degrees of separation.. The reason I asked is that for a number of years he was a work colleague of my partner and I met him a fair few times at after work drinks, work functions etc in the early /mid noughties. We are exactly the same age sharing the same birth date and...

That looks like a 70's rock band about to go on tour. Neil, did you fish with someone called Neil Grant around that time?

I need to look more closely as i'd missed that. Did the finish on whippings change around the mid/late'90's with much more pronounced and uniform varnish? Here's a (poor) photo of the whipping on the early Avenger and the varnish is very sparingly applied with the feel of the thread still...

Really interesting, thank you.

No bother; I spoke to Geoff Salisburyjust before the Carbotec feeder rods were launched and he said during field testing, anglers had hooked fish and then turned the rod through about 135 degrees so as to point the rod directly behind the angler 9and away from the water) and the rod action...

Yes it was along with Omri Thomas. Won't reproduce the article in it's entirety but see the full Carbotec advert and explanatory article here https://www.carbotec.co.uk/match-rods/

Large stand off rings indeed - wonder how they compare in size to those fitted to modern float rods? The Milo rod above is the relaunched model I was referring to ~ although it cant be an exact copy as the term 'parabolic' wasn't used in describing float rods until Carbotec popularised the...

Interesting you should say that; in 1994 Milo launched two rods called the 'Titanic' and 'Revenger' at the National Angling Show in B'ham. I attended that show and saw the rods and loved the handle (screw down, all cork) and bought the Titanic on launch the following year - in the intervening...

Agree Alec - it had completely passed me by that Masterline had produced excellent version of the three models; will keep an eye open for them from now on but from above it would appear they are very rare. I can be disorganised if uninterested in something but really like order and structure...

No, the Camaro was launched when still the original Normark - a lower priced range but still very good rods. They sell well on eBay.

Here is an early version of the Avenger but iit might be the second version I think? This isn't my original 13' ( that was stolen while using it abroad) but is a direct replacement. I bought it in May 1993 from Leslie's of Luton; it was the first decent rod bought after a short absence from...

Thank you; I'd like to buy it. If you pm me details we can take it from there. Roy

Hello Richard Is one of the reels still available?

...and despite the eBay heading it appears to be the 1lb version?

Is this the rod...

Hello Daniel Excellent - let me have details in pm and we can take it from there RD

As per the title - I've a Mitchell 300 with 2 spare spools and seemingly in good working order; I was given it but have not used it so have no issue passing it on. Trying to make a little more room in a small tackle shed. RD

Hello John, yes it does.
