Won't need more than 20lb mate.

I did look Tim but only found one recent thread and it was just digital scales, which to be fair I should have said I have no interest in.

Looking to purchase a new set of scales ad my 60lb RH specimen hunters are just too big, any suggestions? Cheers Martin

Vic Gibson is a master rod builder, I've had rods built by all the main builders over the years and he is right at the very top.

Evening, So I bought myself a J W Young Triton to go on my Acolyte for trotting. Now looking for a couple of cheaper options, one for trotting and one for ledgering but not wanting to spend nearly £500 each on these as they are going to be a bit more abused due to the nature of some of the...

There was a pair at apollo angling the other week @Chris Fogg , not sure if they still have them.

Got to christen my new Acolyte today with this beauty....... 1lb 3oz so not a monster but the biggest roach I have ever caught.

Never understood these rings. Still yet to hear anyone tell me one thing about them that would make me think they aren't a complete waste of time. I personally wouldn't buy a rod without a ceramic insert. If they are not custom made I'd take them back whilst you still can and get some rods...

Just found a brand new one on Facebook for £75, seems a good price?

Thanks Alan, just been looking and there's a reason I still use old shimanos, don't like any of the modern day reels. That ones not bad but don't like any of the others.....

I've only ever used old shimano reels for float fishing as I've always loved them and they are bomb proof however it's tike for a change as the small diameter spools really don't help me. So I've just bought a 14ft Acolyte plus and looking for recommendations on a decent reel to go on it, got...

Thanks mate, appreciate that, looks very well made so I doubt I will bit appreciate the offer. Very impressed with it mate.

Arrived today mate, thank you very much.

Don't worry about that @Robert Linwood , I found your sale post when you sold it. Stunning rod!

OK mate will have a look at them. The AT one is really nice, I just got the impression it might go a bit 'tacky' over time.

Alec is that the American Tackle 'comfort finish'?

Hi Robert, I have spoken to Alex and he said it's one of yours, just waiting on him to get back to me regarding the build but he's mega busy at work so if you could enlighten me I'd be very grateful.

Thank you mate.

The black Fuji DPS chip really bad now. I've a set of Torrix TE's built by Vic Gibson that are 15 years old and yes they've chipped a bit but nothing you wouldn't expect. Had a set of 10ft Torrix for my boys, to match mine, built by Cotswold rods a couple of years ago and they chipped really...

Original Union Jack ultralite with groundsheet, skullcap, carry bag and 2 sets of erection poles. Overall in very good condition for its age, I've tried to photo it as best as possible to show its good bits and bad so please look at the photos carefully. The mozzi mesh has a rip in it. There...
