    Normark float rod buyers guide

    I saw a post on a Facebook group the other day that got me thinking. Then I received a pm on here asking similar questions that got me thinking even more…. Its very difficult to obtain a normark rod for the right money if you really don’t know what you’re looking for. Some are worth £30 and...

    Really pleased with these.

    Not for sale! Just finished them off. A nice order for @Rob Weldon and the camo brown in textured finish has come out a treat. They look like stones covered in mud or silt. Very natural looking indeed I’m really pleased with these and I hope they catch the new owner lots of big fish...

    Long float rods for big chub

    This winter I’ve added afew new (second hand) float rods to my collection and in doing so I’ve obviously been taking advantage and using them extensively along with many others that I have. Comparing them and really getting to know the things I like and dislike. I thought I’d share some...

    Micro feeders

    New for 2024. You’ve asked me on occasions to go smaller and lighter so here we are. Originally 50g was my lower limit but I’m now able to offer these. I’ve been using them myself for a while when I’ve knocked up a one off for my own personal fishing and they are fabulous for their intended...

    Kingpin Zeppelin bearings.

    Just an FYI If you are an owner of this futuristic looking little reel and are in a position where it needs a bearing, your probably right now pulling your hair out from both the lack of information on the internet and the lack of response from kingpin themselves. Well fear not as I am also...

    2 match rods

    Off setting a fraction of my recent expenditures of a new purchase and an expensive restoration. While these two rods haven’t been used in some time, it’s not easy to let them go. Firstly to save some time and questions Both have great condition original bags. Both have no damage or...

    Bearing pins. Replacing the bearings.

    I know this covers several pins including the common design used in youngs pins. Not all are the same so do your checks as necessary. I’ve seen a couple of things on line about this particularly with bob James pins and a super light. The one I’m going to show you is the same procedure. Fox...

    Mechano time!!!

    Has anyone looked At Korums new product range yet coming soon. They’ve focused a lot on us float guys this time round with float boxes, more lines, meat cutters and something that caught my eye which was their tray tripod thing. Something like that I’d use a lot because I don’t particularly...

    Fox BJ5 pin review

    I’ve only just bought this reel and took it out on the river today caught loads of fish mostly under a pound and I have enough insight now to give an honest opinion on it. It doesn’t have much said about it online and a good 50% of what is said certainly isn’t that positive. It’s a fox bob...

    Daiwa TDX 3010 QDA

    Now I really had no plans on selling this but it’s my spare. It’s probably being used once or twice and it’s been in the box for a good couple of years at least. I bought it because they stopped making them but as I’ve still got another 3 in use I may aswell let it go. Best fixed spool reel...

    Daiwa ss850 (ss1600) sold

    I wasn’t going to sell this one as it’s a rare reel made even rarer with the work it’s had done. This one is the only SS I’ve ever used that runs almost wobble free. I’ve balanced it. It’s also undergone a complete rebuild, replaced every part that had any wear on and upgraded the clutch...

    Abu 1044 closed face

    Recently serviced and running very sweet indeed. Shallow Match spool fitted with brand new chenille. Comes with aluminum deep spool never used. Looks a bit rough with the paint wear but runs perfectly. Synchro clutch works spot on as does the anti reverse and spool lock. Great reels these and...
