    New rods wanted. C3’s vs basis vs mark tunleys dark carbons any info on these 3 please pros and cons.

    No, honestly, there's no reason to spend that much on a rod, even though I did do it, I still say no. I did it because I am a tackle tart and want to please myself; it wont catch you more fish.

    New rods wanted. C3’s vs basis vs mark tunleys dark carbons any info on these 3 please pros and cons.

    Basia has a slim and lighter blank compared to C3; the action is super, forgiving, but not floppy. I also like the handle and the reel seat, which look really lovely, but that is very personal. Casting very well, I used it with 2oz to 5oz leads, and never had a problem.

    Basia is the one, I have both c3 and basia 2.25, blank wise, basia is way better. I personally don’t feel the guides is a problem even some people think the guides on basia are not good enough.

    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    Although not for combi rig, I use loop to loop a lot to connect the braid and mono/fluro. But I use perfect loop instead of figure eight loop, seems the knot is stronger this way

    What on earth is EA thinking…

    During this past week, despite we are in the middle of a heatwave with low river levels, Many people witnessed EA electro fish the Thames around Oxford under the pretence of ascertaining fish populations. With the Thames hardly moving and this heat, I am wondering how many fish can recover from it…

    Wading trousers

    I am always wondering how this wading trousers and boots thing works. My understanding is that the trousers and the socks are waterproof, but the boots are not, and have holes to let the water out. Is this correct?

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    The video is pretty good imo. I know editing is a pain, but you are doing good, especially the first try. When retrieving the line, I lift the rod as much as I could, and spin the reel as hard as I can, and move the rod towards the float. It’s a classic method I think?

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    1 hour video that’s nice. But after watching the first 10mins, I decided to try how you retrieve the line, and I think it doesn’t work for me😂. Will finish the rest before I sleep

    Wanted - Harrison Avon with spliced in quiver

    How about a decent feeder rod with glass tip? Works better for chub imo.
