Been asking on other forums without any luck at all. So am hoping i might be lucky here. Just acquired the above rod the model with the asaki blank at the booty on Wednesday. Ever since i sold my Accylite I've been without a float rod to use on my local rivers. I know most will say it's a bit...

Been trying out a new method to me, a pellet feeder. The Guru hybrid in-line type. Now I've had some very good successful sessions on a Stillwater, catching Carp and Bream. Would this type of feeder and 2 and 4mm pellets work in rivers?. Or would the pellets just wash away downstream leaving me...

Drennan Acolyte plus 14ft float rod. Hardly used, A1 condition. No damage or scratches. The only marks on the blank is where i put on small marker lines to line up the 3 pieces. Plastic still on Cork. Fuji rings and reel seat. Hook keeper. More or less Brand new. Comes with an MK1 Matt Hayes...

It's been raining here for the last 6 hrs and is forecasted to rain throughout the night. For the 2 days, the river Rother at fittleworth Sussex has been hard to trot a float due to the lack of water movement. So with the weather in mind what will be the best bet for tomorrow trundling meat of...

Going to try out trotting with a pin. Never had much luck using a pin before, so when the river seasons starts i want to give it one last try before i decide if i sell the reel or not. So treat me as a newbie on this topic. Rods that i will probably be using are Avons 1lb, 1.25lb, 1.5lb. I...

What the differences between a Leger rod and an Avon rod. Both have a screw thread in the last ring to take quiver tips. Both seem to have the same TC. I mostly Leger with my Avon rod so trying to get around the differences in my small brain

Had a session down the Rother (Sussex) yesterday. Wind blowing quite strongly around 38mph. Anyway after 30 minutes at each peg without even a knock or bump i decided to give it one more go at the furthest peg. For some reason i was having trouble sinking the line. Never had this problem with...

For as long as i can remember 99% of my rods have had Cork butts. I did try a blank with a Duplon butt but just didn't like the feel or look of it. I doesn't matter if it's a £50 rod or a £500 rod am not interested if it doesn't have a Cork handle. It could be the best rod in the world but if...

I've noticed over the last couple of weeks that the threads are slowing down. Has everyone packed up for the winter? Is it just me out at dawn trying to catch the monster Chub or Barbel. Admittedly my Barbel catch rate has gone down but am still catching some lovely big Eels. Have you packed...

Does anyone know where the free stretch of the Itchen near Southampton is. All i know there is a pub and a council carpark very near to it.

Where am fishing at the moment the ground i rock hard. Am having trouble keeping my brolly secure in the ground. What do you use and recommend

As the title says. Must be in good condition with both tips. Looking for the 1.25lb or 1lb version. Must be willing to post. I cover the postage charge.

What's the difference between an Avon blank and a Leger blank. I have both in 11ft and 10ft both. The taper seems the same but the ledger blank is a little less tippy. Both take screw in quivers

Now the fishing has got harder and the weather a little colder. Do you go smaller on the bait and go down a size on hooks for Chub. I usually use anything up to size 4 hooks with a large lump of meat. Should i cut back on bait and hook size this time of year, if so would do you use and recommend

Visited my local boot sale this morning and found a TFG River and Pit 12ft, 1.5 Avon rod. It looked as it hasn't been used a lot going by the Cork handle. Anyway after knocking the seller down from £20 to £12 i think ive got a bargain. Got home stuck a reel and line on it. It has a typical...

As we have a supermoon tonite am off with my kit. Had my dinner or Supper from wherever you're from. Going to hit the Rother at Fittleworth. Been prebaiting for the last couple of days so fingers crossed i hit my PB like this time last year. The forecast is dry and around 7c. If you're taking...

I've got a lot of 10 FFF cage feeders. Only tried one the others have just been rolling about in a box. 4 x 6oz 3 x 7oz 2 x 8ox 1 x 10oz [/URL][/IMG][/URL][/IMG]

Am thinking of buying one of these. Tackle box Darent valley 11ft 1.25lb twin tip Avon rod. Very hard to find any feedback on their rods. Has anyone used or seen one.

At the moment am using an Enterprize nightlinte adaptor. The only problem i find is sometimes the line gets tangled on it when casting. Is there anything better i could use.

Packed all the kit in the boot this morning. Rod, landing net and pole, kit bag, tea, and sarnies. Off i go, 1 hour up the road got my kit out of the car and started to look for a lightly peg to fish the river from. Found a nice looking Chubby spot. Chucked in some small bits of curry flavored...
