I started writing up an inventory of my rods and reels this weekend. I wanted to take some time to reflect on what I have and what I like or dislike about those things. It also gave me the opportunity to think clearly about any items I may want to upgrade and why.
One of the rods I have a...
Hi all,
Here’s an old warrior if anyone wants a reel that will take abuse and they’re not fussy about looks etc.
It was originally black, but I have stripped back the paint on the outside. Decent ratchet and tensioner works fine. Handles are spot on. It wobbles, but it’ll still run a float...
Hi there,
1x Shimano DL 4000FA for sale. Lovely deep blue colour in good condition cosmetically and recently serviced by Felindre- new gears and front drag washer- so good to go for years and years.
£45 posted. SOLD
1x Korum Barbel Rod (11’ 1.75lb) used once so immaculate condition. No...
Hi all,
I’ve got a nice insulated cool bag for your boilies or your butties! I think it’s NGT but there’s no label on it. Never used so perfect condition.
£15 including post.
Hi again,
I have a new, unused and boxed Aero XR C5000 for sale. Spare spool (no box for that) and minus spool reducer unfortunately (I’ve never had it).
£110 posted for this lovely piece 🙂
Hi all,
This is a bit of a tug to be honest, but I'm just not using this fantastic rod and I need to raise some funds to buy something else.
These are incredible float rods. They are light (177g so Acolyte territory), fast tip and deceptively powerful. Official line rating is 6lb and that is...
Hi folks,
I’ve got a pair of Super Aero Baitrunner XTE 10000 reels and would like to know if I can get smaller spools (maybe 6000?!) to fit them. Anyone know if it’s doable or where I might find out?
Cheers,
Alan
I love centrepins and fish almost exclusively with them. I own- and have owned- a modest number of different reels; some old, some new, some true-pin and some bearing reels. Trial, error and personal preference have taught me that my favourite reels are true pins, and on balance I like narrow...
Okay, apologies if this isn't in the right forum (wasn't self-evident where it should go!)
I've got a chair for sitting behind rods and alarms, and I have an old Boss seatbox (for when my boy wants to get a pole out).
Can anyone recommend me a small, compact seat for waggler fishing?
A few...
Hi guys,
I'm selling this because I am downsizing the gear I take with me. These bags are absolutely brilliant if you want to take plenty of stuff with you. More storage than you can shake a stick at, comfortable, robust, nice big insulated compartment for deads or lunch!
All the zips work, no...
... a Shimano Aero XR C5000?!
Seems to be the least well-stocked item of tackle I have ever tried to find.
Does anyone know why (other than the obvious fact that people have bought them) they're out of stock everywhere?
Hello!
My son is eleven, and I’m looking for some thermal clothes for taking him fishing in winter. Obviously don’t want to spend a fortune as he’ll have grown out of them in about a fortnight 😬😉
Any recommendations?
Al
Evening all,
I found a rod I was looking for on FB marketplace from a seller with an apparently well established profile (2007). Agreed postage and paid via PayPal items and services for security. That was Wednesday. Messaged Friday to ask when it would be posted and had profuse apology and...
Hi all,
Decided to part with the above reel. Absolutely stunning little piece- mint condition, runs silently and no wobble, weighs 191g, starts up effortlessly.
Comes with all the paperwork, counterbalances, line guard, Allen key and neoprene pouch (a bit faded).
**ENDED**
Hi all,
I've decided to put this rod up for sale as my spliced-tip Sphere has basically rendered it redundant.
I've used the rod maybe six or seven times and it is in as close to mint condition as you can get really. The one minor blemish is a bit of light staining from red maggots on the...
