I would just highlight here, as said, these were my initial impressions. I have no doubt the rods would deal with most fish...BUT as I said, the softness of the through actioned blank allowed the carp caught to dive down and continue pushing away. I would imagine the blank gave around 12 inches...

I've just been lucky enough to get hold of a pretty much pristine Mark 1 14ft Normark Avenger with spotless bag. Happy bunny.

I'm always happy to help but Paul Ashton ( see Wye river reports) is the local man

Tim. I contacted them twice for details of the Syndicate. No replies. You would do just as well to fish the opposite bank at Bredwardine, staying at the Red Lion

I bought a pair of 12ft rods on here. Excellent condition. And purchased mainly for long cast tench fishing. I thought I would give my early, first impressions. I know many on here love them. A few carp to 18lb have certainly underpinned the advice given here that they are through action. My...

I've just used FELINDRE for the first time A mint 5000 GTE, one of a mint pair, decided it would not lift the spool up and down. Should be back with me couple of days. I was a bit suprised at the cost £49+ that incl postage. However watching a Ytube video on the job it looked difficult with...

The last 3 things I sold in Feb I received the full amount I wanted. Ebay had added extra on each sale as protection for the buyer. The only slight negative, as I did collection only, was that you can't get your money until the buyer confirms collection with a shared code. At one stage I had 2...

I use individual rubber beads. If you cut the tubing in a point at the end and wet it you can push the beads on with swivel between. Imo it's worth getting the swivels with one end loop bigger between beads. I do also add rubber anti tangle bit over top of hooklink onto swivel to push the hook...

I use a short length of tubing that has the two beads with a swivel ( large loop between beads) hooklink to hook tied to swivel small loop. Mainline through the tubing, pushed to lead clip at end. Safe as well. Cost about £1.20.

Was it near Hogwarts? Sounds like they may have put a spell on you

For all those interested in fishing Mythe Lake or driving to the River. I sent the following to BAA today. "Has anything been done about the track along the lake yet please. It was pretty dangerous with the very deep ruts to drive along last Spring. Thank you" This was the answer from Mr...

Pretty impassable as overgrown Neil

Kevin kindly delivered the C3s to me this morning. They are like new. Absolutely delighted by the look of them. Thank you Kevin

I have always been totally happy with my 12ft 2lb Torrix. On Trent, Thames, Wye Lower Severn Kennet.etc. If my fishing was mainly on Tidal Trent , I would maybe go up in tc otherwise I would continue to drop it into the inside line during floods.

Cliff. I had a pal in Yorkshire decide to hand a 1.75 Torrix up to me on a higher bank the same way. It snapped as well. The other main way to break a rod, without collision damage eg, stepping on it, hitting something with it, that I've seen is. Tying on an end rig by the handle under...

A few chub from the Wye. Very slow start.
