    What 15ft rod for grayling

    Hi Richard, I'm tempted by the 14ft Preston supera x myself, would it be over gunned for grayling? Where I fish there are plenty of trout as well , so my thinking was it should be ok. Thanks Wayne

    Leeda Blue diamond 13ft specimen float.

    I brought one of these last year, payed about £30 on market place. Great rod for grayling fishing , handled the trout no problem on a fast flowing river test.

    I do use three rubbers , like I said to Richard, probably my error , I will try feathering the line more thou

    To be honest it's probably user error, I'm still getting used to trotting rivers , always ledgered before, but there's nothing quite like it when you get it right, and the float goes under.

    Yeh, it's just much prefer a shorter float . I find I get a lot more tangles with larger stem floats, when using olivette's for some reason. I end up just fishing chubber floats most of the time.

    Sounds good Richard I will have some when you are ready, the thickness of the top is a great idea, i struggle to see some of the shop brought floats,

    They look great, Richard. What sort of depth are these mainly used for ? I fish the lower Itchen , a fast river but not very deep in places . What would happen if you was to shorten the wire stem on them ?
