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

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...

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...

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...

I've just placed an order for a new 11ft 1.75 Torrix with my local rod builder. Over the years I've had rods built or owned rods from all the top carp rod builders, Vic Gibson being my favourite as he used to do all the Yateley builds. Anyway I had Duncan Smith from my local tackle shop build...

So I've been offered a ticket for the stretch of River Kennet at Burghfield, run by advanced angling. Have already spoken to someone on here and appreciate your help but just throwing it out there to see if any else has/does fish it and what the general consensus on it is before I take the...

I stupidly sold a pair of these last year, absolutely loved them. Mine were 12ft 1.5lb, does anyone know if they did the same rod in 1.25lb?

I'm sure some of you are thinking, "Not this guy again!" every time I start a new thread but this time I'm not asking about yet another rod, I've actually got some pictures of some actual barbel to share. So, a couple of years ago when I wasn't enjoying chasing carp I dabbled in a bit of barbel...

I'd like to give the Kennet a go for the upcoming season. I'm well aware it's a tricky river but that's why I want to fish it, one of my best ever seasons fishing for carp I had 2 in about 50 nights but they were both special and meant more to me BECAUSE of all the blanks so it's not that I...

Just seen this on Facebook Market place. Got me wondering, does anyone know what possible configurations would be available with the Torrix? E.g. would it be possible to have a 1.25 and 1.75 twin tips?

Managed to pick this up for £30 from my local tackle shop. I know nothing about it other than uts 12ft 1.25lb but I assume, like most Drennan rods, it's pretty decent? Cheers Martin

This just popped up on my Facebook feed, thought it may have been of interest to someone on here.

3 rods, one for trotting, one for general barbel fishing and one for chub or smaller species what would they be? I appreciate there are so many variables but for this purpose let's assume its a fairly small river, certainly nothing like the Thames or Trent or at least somehere you havent got to...

Apologies for bombarding your forum but I have another question, and I'm sure there will be many more! I have an old pair of Vic Gibson built MK1 Century Armalites. 12ft 2.75lb. They are obviously built to be used as carp rods, 40mm butt ring, 16mm tip. I was wondering whether they would work...

Thought I'd better introduce myself as I forgot when I signed up, considering there's no hiding behind funny usernames I figured you may as well have a bit of background and put a face to the name. I grew up fishing my local River Blackwater but got seriously into carp fishing when I was about...

Please bear with me, I know its another centerpin thread and I'm new here I and have searched the forum extensively but these things change all the time so I hope it's OK to ask for recommendations. I want, don't need but want a nice new centrepin and have a budget of around £400. It will be...

Hi, new to the forum and just wondering if anyone has had, used or at least maybe seen the Mark Tunley Mk1 specialist multi tip rod as I am seriously looking at getting one. Any feedback will be appreciated. Cheers Martin
