I have a lovely 12ft Chimera 1.75tc which I have used three times. I bought it with the shrink wrap still on from (I hope I remember correctly) Joe Winstanley a few months ago, so it's still in mint nick.
I would prefer a 2lb tc (chimera three I believe) - any interest?

Hi
I've just moved house and I've got a silly number of barbel rods, some of which rarely, if ever, get used.
I've definitely got a free spirit barbel tamer 11ft 1.5tc available for sale:

It's a very handy small river barbel rod. I...
My old Gardner net broke at the weekend, the screw sheared off. It's been well used for years but is there better out there?
I use a wychwood folding pan net which is adequate on the Yorkshire rivers but I want something more robust and with bigger mesh for the Trent.
I'm after a nice custom made 11ft rod from Santa this year.
It will be used in the main for close range barbelling on the Yorkshire rivers.
The options are a GTI or an torrix.
I've a couple of pals who recommend the GTI. Does anyone have an 11ft 1.75tc torrix? How do you rate it for...
Hi
I would like a rod which meets the following specifications:
11ft (could be 10ft but not 12ft)
2 identical length pieces with quiver on
quiver tips of 1oz and 2oz (ideally glass)
Not "heavy" or "power" - it's for close in river work.
Any recommendations?
Hi
I have a 12ft Drennan Power barbel rod (it is the one with 2lb tc white painted tip complete with isotope and full duplon handle) which is surplus to requirements.
I would like to swop it for a 10 or 11 ft rod with money available if it is a more expensive rod.
I live in Yorkshire...

Prescription sunglasses
There was a thread on here about a year ago extolling the virtues of Driverwear lenses for fishing.
I got a pair of prescription ones from Specsavers in time for last season. Coupled with titanium frames they were expensive at about £200 IIRC.
They really are...
I'll be up at mental o'clock for a last day on the rivers, staying well into dark after a sleep in the car at lunchtime ;) It's been a tough old winter and i think that's why i'm nowhere near ready for the last day to come, unlike previous seasons when i've been itching to tackle the tincas...
Evening gents. With a birthday fast approaching i have decided to treat myself to a really nice pin. I have been periodically using a marco cortesi which has whetted my appetite, and now i am looking at one with a budget up to £200 i guess.
It isn't for barbel particularly, just general...
