Sorry wrong post!! Don’t know how to delete.

This B&W Hexagraph of mine would stop a bus! Cane finish too.

I’ve got a pair of the Daiwa Powermesh deadbait rods at 3 1/2 lb test. Great rods, but be aware they do have extra long cork handles. They could do to be 6-9” shorter to be honest.

Had a bit of a run in with Drennan over their claimed rod weights. My 13ft Ultra was supposed to weigh 135g. When I put it on the scales it came in at 152g. Drennan took it back, said the mid and tip were within tolerances and gave me a new butt section. They went through all their stock and...

Yes please if you can post this. Can you PM how you would like me to pay please.

We fished in mid range tides in tbe middke of September and had 8 over two days. I’ve had them in tide sizes, I think sea conditions and baitfish availability are as if not more important.

There’s quite a difference between the 11ft Hardy Avon Supero and the 11ft 6” I have caught barbel on both, but the shorter 1lb tc rod has a much more through action, whereas the 1.3tc longer rod has more backbone in the butt section. I’ve had fish into double figures on the 11ft 6” rod and...

Really kind to ask, but at 6ft 3” I’m more an XXL sized angler!

I fish Hardy Superos. My almost daily user is the 11’6” Avon of which I have a pair. I also have the 11ft Avon and the 12ft barbel in 3piece with the Avon and quiver tops. For float fishing I have the full supero range from 11’10, 13, 14 and 15ft. I have a bit of a Hardy problem.

Had 2 korum triangle nets fail at the spreader, but did like the latex mesh on them, so took latex mesh off it and fitted it onto a Tackle Box 32” net, which has a much more solid spreader block and arms. Works well for me and wraps up small too. Tackle box net shown on left. Korum on right.

Not sure this link will work to my Facebook page if not look it up on my page from 5th July last year. Basically, I’ve fished bright orange line straight through to the hook for 99% of last season. The results surprised me. I finished up with nearly twice the amount of barbel last season as I...

No skippers wallets were dented when the tackle was being tested to its limits! All my own gear! Transpires the bent butt was only rated 30-50 which I’d fitted to an 80lb shimano beastmaster just to try a bent butt out. All was going fine until the tuna went into its pinwheel and I teally...

Thanks - I’m making a habit of busting gear on these beasts. In 2020 I had the aluminium bent butt snap - the rod itself was fine. That made for an interesting scenario, but a team effort and we landed that one too - circa 400lbs.

These UK bluefin really are brutal on the end of your string. I caught my first in 2020 and have been lucky enough to get a few days each year since. This years trip in September gave us lots of drama. I snapped my Shimano tiagra 80lb stand up on one fish (circa 375lb) - luckily the line still...

Could I take this please Alan? Please message me as to how best to pay you.

Old school fishing tonight. Not the biggest barbel I’ve had by a long chalk, but it certainly felt like it on the old Abu glass rod!
