Absolutely Gutted

[Neil Gallimore]

I had this message today so its back to the drawing board. I have 2 x FS Seekers 12ft 1.75lb but I wanted an 11ft 1.5lb so I can do a bit of roving on the the River Dee before I settle on certain pegs where I will use my Seekers so has anyone got any recommendations please

There's an 11ft Tamer on everyone's favourite auction site. Just get that and you'll be sorted for season's start.

Hi Neil,
I have got one of Mark Tunleys 11ft 6 rods as below which is multi tip and has a 1.5 TC top section. It's not cheap but is top quality rod with 40t carbon so I've used it for both feeder and float work when I only had the one rod and roving about. Go on and treat yourself as there's one ready to pick up already built.

Mark Tunley MK1 11½' 1.50tc Specialist Multi Tip

Mark Tunley MK1 11 ' 1.50tc Specialist Multi Tip 1oz - 2oz ( 30g - 60g ) high speed casting weight Made constantly, so ready within a week max,

Thanks for the offer Carl but after a few months of roving with the rod I will be hardly using it so it would be a waste of a truly stunning rod

The one Jon mentioned looks reasonable and good value I guess. And you wouldn't be so heart broken should any more mishaps befall your rods. Good luck on the Dee so I did spend some happy times around Farndon and beyond years ago. Lovely river and can go for miles without seeing anyone. The fishing near The Boat Inn at Erbistock is good and you can have a pint afterwards near the roaring fire, a good choice on a winters day!

I often go to the Boat for some food and a pint also the Royal Oak in Bangor which is on the banks of the Dee as well

Thanks Carl

I like how he calls his son the F…..ing idiot for riding his moped over it!

Who’s the f……ing idiot that laid it on the garage floor

Neil many tears ago I with Mum and Dad used to holiday to Mum's parents who ran pubs in Bangor, I seemed to remember a Kings Head pub and one with the Dee adjacent that I mentioned I 'fished' , perhaps that could be the Royal Oak?
But a lovely part of the world, remember stopping off on the mountain pass en route, the falls at Betys ... and of course Snowden.
Mum was schooled in Anglesea and took the train across the straits.
Grandmother was a force to be reckoned with and ran a well behaved pub, Grandad was a big thing in the Masons, a lovely man and was an expert in playing the spoons lol.
I digress, wouldn't you rather have a splash around with a lure rod before before settling in blanking on the barbel rods ?

Can't go wrong with a Harrisons four-piece Avon.

I think I'm going to get something I can use for the close season too as I can do a bit of tench fishing that way .... I'm currently considering a Free Spirit E Class 11ft 1.5lb
