Hi All,

I have just taken delivery of a custom made Chimera 2 from Dave Lumb and he made a beautiful job of it for me, i cant wait for the 16th. to get on the bank and try it out, another one will be joining it when funds allow........By coincidence the rod arrived today on my Birthday!!! Thank you Dave.

If you are thinking of taking the plunge and getting a custom made rod then contact Dave i can assure you that you will not be dissapointed:)
 
Thank you Rich,good luck for the coming season:)
 
You make sure you test that rod to it's test curve and beyond!!!!!!!:D
 
Will be giving it my best shot:D
 
nice john, did you get fed up with the FS.
happy birthday, 18 again!!...lol
 
Hi Dave,

Ha Ha i wish mate.....The seeker is a beautiful rod Dave but i was always thinking to myself that it felt pokey:eek: maybe just me i dont know..
 
many happy returns John. lovely rod, that. hope to see you one the bank with a double fig barbel putting a bend in it.
 
Thank you David, Yes that would be nice, good luck to you for the coming season....
 
Dave Lumb is a quality rod builder, his advice is excellent too. I am just having a new one built by Bruce Ashby, and cant wait.

John,

You'll enjoy the rod. I simply love mine, and cant imagine finding a more perfect rod for me for catching barbel with (or indeed blanking with too).

I know there is a train of thought that the Torrix superceded the Chimera Specialists, but for me I dont even want to know as the Chimeras are simply superb:D

Just wait till a biggun puts a bend in that blank and you feel how much power there is in the butt section...:)

Hi Lads,

Yes the Chimera is a nice looking blank and Dave did a good job for me, i tackled up the rod and gave the line a good pull around and the blank has a nice action with a lot of power lower down it feels good much nicer than my previous f/s barbel seeker which is a nice rod but to me it felt a little pokey:eek:
