They may share some characteristics or be based around other Harrison blanks but MT has the DC range built around his own specifications.I was told there Harrison Ballista with the blank ground down
I understand that and his rod building is superb . I was only pointing out they were a ballista blank.They may share some characteristics or be based around other Harrison blanks but MT has the DC range built around his own specifications.
I’ve heard From a few very knowledgeable sources that the old baby balistas, when ringed up properly Make up one of the finest floodwater fishing Rods you can get.
I don’t think you can get them anymore now.
I’ve never handled the chimera but I’ve read it’s a serious power tool with quite a stiffness to it.I have a pair of Freespirit Hi S Specialist Big water 2.25, can anyone tell me how Chimera Snag and Flood 11’6” would compare?
There in lies a story Richard! On my first ever Trent trip for a fish-in with The Association of Barbel Fishers quiet a few years back I didn’t have suitable rods so my son lent me a pair for the weekend and I found them superb rods, they “chucked” a lead and PVA bag with no problem and I found them a joy to play fish on. They were rung as carp rods but i’d love to have them remade with sensible sized and spaced guides. They would be my go to rod for heavy work.I’ve heard From a few very knowledgeable sources that the old baby balistas, when ringed up properly Make up one of the finest floodwater fishing Rods you can get.

Those look lovely , I’m undecided as yet but think it will be a custom, I only want one , I only fish the ribble at the moment .I've been using a pair of these Peregrine rods on the Trent, Yorkshire Ouse etc., they have landed me some big barbel in flooded conditions, I stepped up my reels accordingly to match the rod's power.
