Absolutely worth a chunk more….you got a bargain there

Was that the one on eBay @Julian Griffiths ….was so tempted myself, superb rod at a bargain price! Was just being greedy though as I already have one

I use these Rich - NGT butt/tip protectors, there not slim fit so may not suit you but there cheap and do the job Shop around and you’ll find some good deals https://ngtonline.co.uk/shop/luggage/ngt-tip-butt-rod-protectors/

I had Kevlar Avon rod many yrs ago made by North western rods….lettering looks the same from memory and also the weave, but their blanks also had the NW rods logo/words so can’t be sure!? It was a lovely through action rod I used for tenching

Snugpak sj9 are excellent ….but also these are worth every penny in keeping your lower back area warm - same as the snugpak they have the longer back. A real winner imo https://www.militarykit.com/products/british-army-pcs-thermal-undershirt-light-olive-used

Again no housing for a good 3.5 miles until you get to Haversham weir

That doesn’t make sense to me….Adams is on a large flood plain with no housing nearby …if anything this would increase water flow into Newport pagnell at an even faster rate rather than facing the trees help restrict flow 🤷‍♂️

Haha…I doubt it but thanks! I always laugh thinking about how my dad became a fishing legend amongst myself and friends without ever picking up a rod

And if you get one of these and a buzz bar you can adapt sticks to a tripod if need be

Next time you catch a Cray stamp on him and chuck him in the margin…within a short time there’ll be a cannibal feeding frenzy, they live eating there own kind…vile creatures but guess it demonstrated why there so successful at adapting to different environments! I also noticed recently a well...

Was my 8th birthday and I got a Woolies winfield starter kit. I didn’t take to it initially and it probably sat in the cupboard for a few months with little use, then one day I came home from school to find a big trout on the kitchen table and my dad telling me he borrowed my rod and caught it...

It’s horrendous destruction of a natural habitat for so many species; it will all grow back but in the meantime leaves the resident wildlife very vulnerable. Was there any reasoning for it?

Have a look for a drennan DRX river feeder or a matchpro feeder….or if you can find one a drennan combo feeder that can be used at 11/6 12/6 - superb versatile rods that will cover all your needs. The extra length might be useful on the Thames? The acolytes also come in 13/14ft There is a 13’10...

It might be in some areas but not mine unfortunately, the benefit of paper/card covering is it’s universally recyclable. As I say only a small gripe but one that maybe could also affect others?

Probably a bit far, I’m in Bucks… If you can find one in shops they are great rods with plenty of grunt for chucking out a small live bait under a bobber but not lacking in finesse for flicking out small baits too

Where you based Nigel? I have a new one (bought 2 for Tenching but only ever used 1) might be tempted to let it go but don’t want to get into posting rods

I’ve also subscribed since the start….superb mag with a wide range of articles. I can only imagine the work behind the scenes to get it published 👏 My only gripe which I’ve mentioned before was when the paper based mailing sleeve was replaced by a non recyclable one (at least in my area)

Reel time. Collected writings of Chris Yates handbook volume 1 1967-89 sold Willow pitch IV paperback £13 Big fish from small streams paperback Tony miles £13 First cast Terry Lampard hardback sold Price includes postage All read once only and in excellent condition

Lovely rods, I had one of the originals when released, sold it and regretted it then bought another of a member on here a couple of yrs back. It’s a traditional Avon style that will bend round to the corks…probably not many fish it won’t tame in normal conditions. Has 1,3 and 4 oz quivers and...

Not tried guru drag but have their pulse pro line and thought that was similar but not quite the same…it didn’t quite match pro golds suppleness and stretch. I’m still looking for a replacement to pro gold too
