@Chris Belcher where are you based mate? Hampshire Tackle have a load of demo rods made up for people to test before you buy. If your not a million miles away might be worth considering.

Mine are the 12'6" mate and I absolutely love them, although not used them a great deal, only casting about 50 yards. I did have 3 carp on them, 2 over 30lb up to 38lb and they were beautiful to play fish on. They replaced my 12'6" Torrix TE and I wanted something very similar so was recommended...

Yeah I get that, very much personal preference. I would say though that plain white I found almost useless. But with the orange, and I'm sure other colours would work as I think it's more about breaking the white up, it works very well for its intended purpose.

Will be the upper mate. After a lot of research I found out that a lot of people think these aren't over gunned even for general, summer level use. I wanted a pair of rods so thought I'd get these as they will cover all situations when I want to use 2 rods but will always use my 11ft 1.75 if I...

Yeah mate, the collars are very nice. I absolutely love the white tip and orange whipping, not seen it done elsewhere and it's a lovely touch. Didn't even consider isotopes, which has annoyed me as I remember seeing yours and thought I'd get them next time but completely forgot.

For the Thames mate.

There's a few more, older ones though, these are just the ones I've had done recently. And more on the way......

They actually are built by Duncan Smith at Hampshire Tackle, how did you guess 🤣

And my Aviators, all built by Duncan Smith at Hampshire Tackle.....

Incase anyone is interested, my 11ft Torrix.....

Is their a particular reason you want the Aqua? It's bang average and overpriced for what it is. If you just want waterproof/breathable as opposed to warm then the Korda dry kore is pretty good and a lovely material, no 'crunch' if you know what I mean. Ideally, proper waterproof clothing...

The Fortis Tundra jacket and salopettes are incredible. 25,000 HH and 25,000g/m2 breathability rating. The material is much harder wearing than the SJ clothing range, which is their collaboration with Snugpak. The Tundra isn't Fortis X Snugpak but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Snugpak made...

Hioe this is allowed. Brand new one for sale here.... https://vintagefishingtackle.co.uk/product/brand-new-lone-angler-12%e2%80%b2-trefor-west-barbel-fishing-rod/

Picked these up on Ebay last night, never seen them before, don't know what they are like but they are a lot of rod for the money and tick a lot of boxes for me. Wasn't intending on buying them, although I've wanted a spliced in quiver for a while there is very little choice. My first rod ever...

They will predominantly used for what I said but I do also fish Marsh farm for the crucians and whilst 99% of the time will use a float ok the pin there are occasions where I'd fish two on the method, although I do try to avoid this.

Thanks to everyone that has replied. Something else has come up which may or may not do the job but I'll try them forst before deciding if I need yet more rods.

Sorry to bump such a thread but with these rods being pretty old and with a nice 'players action' would I get away with using the 1.5lb as a big perch/roach job up the Thames/Hants Avon they would they be over gunned?

Sold

Sorry Jeff, not been on here much in a whole and forgot all about this, long gone unfortunately
