It’s a lovely rod the tournament bu I should of had one in my collection when they were discounted heavily after discontinuing them

A good quality guide with sic or alconite inserts Will see you right. Fuji would be my first choice but they may cost you a chunk

No as it’s a matter of opinion and one I share to some extent Certainly as far as cost is concerned, a piece of premium cork out of Portugal is a lot more expensive than EVA I find feels nicer in the hand and it looks more attractive too. Eva on premium rods does work just fine despite all...

Wow fantastic! What a great specimen

The advantage of long rods comes in to play most apparent when you are faced with a down stream wind and trotting at least another 2 rod lengths off the end of the rod. Hold a long rod up high and you can pick all the line up off the water and place it back behind the float and cause very...

That’s good to know. I only saw the 14ft option. Yes I’m aware of that. My point was based on what’s currently available. I stand corrected on the new conny.

I do hope these companies bringing out these more recent power float rods start to understand, that 14ft isn’t the only length we want. It’s getting a bit silly now. You’ve got Normark throwing dolly sections in with 12 footers, Preston bringing out 1 power float at just 14ft and now daiwa...

Orrrrrrr hang on for a bit and see if normark releases those 15ft Avengers we’ve been waiting for. Judging by how the 13ft one feels I think they could be absolutely ideal for what you want.

I’d say the acolytes are realistically the best bet for you and your grayling sport with 3 x 15ft models all super light just pick the action most suited to your venue/species I have the 14ft supera X from Preston and yes I’m a big fan. I haven’t tried the 15ft version as I was looking for the...

I also really like the way he attaches the line pillars too with the counter sink brass screws. It looks really nice. You mentioned that you wondered how he gets the head slots in the screws to line up, it’s actually very easy to do because you’ll notice on the back flange that they probably...

It coughed up £10 worth of my maggots so you could say some form of prebait 😂

Been a while since a chub pic has made the thread. Don’t worry….. I’ll sort it. Boom 6,09. Biggest this season 🤩

Surely you must of taken some pictures to go along side such an amazing success story.

Stronger than what? You can get an 11ft 2.5lb Avon from Harrison if you want

The torrix 11ft 1.75 is a real gem mark. I’ve had 2 now for a good number of years and while the majority of my barbel are caught trotting floats nowadays, I still take the torrix’s out on the right days. It is a medium/fast action as far as I’m concerned the back end is very steel lite and...

A free spirit seeker might be more to your taste then

This change in carbon type from the weave to the plain finish is what makes a Torrix what it is in terms of action. It’s 2 different cloth types put together on the mandrel giving the Torrix this faster tip action and very steely mid to low. If the carbon was 1k weave right to the tip it would...

I’ve always done my upmost, not to cast my beam across the water.

It’s a pair of identical rods Dave with 2 top sections 1.75/2.0 per rod.

I keep saying to Terry hes half way there to owning a pair of centrepins if he takes off his spools off and turns em 90°
