Brilliant video, just subscribed to his YouTube channel, with some good honest unbiasedreviews. Something there for all us to learn and enjoy

The best stick float rod I had was Daiwas Amorphous Tournament 13 ft 2 inch spliced tip. Closely followed by The Stick float Special. I have 2 Shaky Mach 2 Borons, which I'm more than happy with. Don't lose why spliced tip rods became popular, quick, fast and tip a tinned for close work with...

An extra 6 million people living in our country and counting, over the past 10 years, which equates to a 10% population boost. Has to go somewhere.....

It's a little like fibre glass rods, there is only so far you could go with them. Now we are at that point with carbon. The biggest change over the past few years has been reducing the resin in carbon cloths. Its quite catastrophic when this mark has been reached.

The fact MT used 2 totally different actions, totally debunks his findings. One was a through action, the other a carp rod made primarily for distance. 2 rods with totally different loading points. Now if he had used all dark Carbon rods, then he would have had my vote and probably had a rush on...

Thats just so Hypothetical Damian...🤤

Absolutely Thunnus, yes maybe my rods would break too at that. Pretty sure you can read from my post; what I mean....?

You if you want to Damian..

Back to the leverage video, have you ever tested the pull on your Barbel rod, to the point where your clutch has been set? As tight as you dare? I did today with my Chimera 4, I was just about touching 3lb max pull, before the clutch went. If I get time tomorrow, I'll have a look at the Basia 2.75.

I cant agree more. I did ask the question; are they pre built for you and your just selling them on...? Didn't go down well..

I'm a bit different, if I'm paying £350 plus for a rod, I'd like it built to my personal preference tbh. I really like the concept of the multi tip; but at the moment apart from what fellow BFW members say. I'd still be buying blind, which we have all done and quickly moved said items of...

I emailed him and he said ' he made a decision not to offer custom options and build them to what he decided was the best way and the best parts for the job etc. Shame really as he thought he was a custom rod builder?

Shame he doesn't do any customisations on these.

Message him and see if he can do that change.

I'm the opposite,for some reason, I hold the rod between the little finger and the next one up. If I have a screw down, it feels uncomfortable as it does for u.

Screw up every time for me..

Mmm quite fancying the 11 footer, could be a classic.

You can buy a rod that can play a fish to death, or you can buy a rod with that power to stop and get that fish in..... before it gives its all. Line breaking strain included.

Tempted as a treat tbh, but when I see MK1, that gets me thinking when will there be a MK 2.

Ballistas, such a fantastically underrated blank. Proper players rods..
