Don't even contemplate starting out on your Trent journey without a Fox Kevlar rod. Without this rod, your chances of catching are slim.

If only! You may remember around about Xmas time my quest to purchase a coveted Kevlar from this very site made me extremely ill. Since then, my wife left me and I was banned from ever entering my doctor's surgery. It wasn't all bad because the disappointment and subsequent illness and nursing led me to a relationship with Mehong. However that Justin Timberlake has a lot to answer for.
