I switched to Gardner Tackle GT-HD last year after using the Pro stuff for years - can't see myself changing anytime soon....

Haven't bought any PVA for a while but always used to use them through their eBay shop - mesh mainly. Couldn't fault it!

Have they got their own website now?

Hi guys,

A little update from me, I sold two 12ft rods on Vinted on Monday. No drama's! I think the buyer paid about £4 for the delivery and I paid 30p to have the parcel collected from home.

They were well packed in a rod tube, the one my new rods from AD arrived in. And the buyer is chuffed to bits with them.

Seems a good way to sell rods 😀

Ah, I'll need to purchase another then - because I only picked up 3x...

I've downsized from 5 to 4 rods, dropping a dedicated spod/marker set up - now just using 1x rod for both. Loop method for quick change 😉

Thanks all!

Does the dedicated TA spod sleeve take the reel as well? I'm guessing it does 🤔

Thanks.

Seeing a lot of love for the Thinking Angling adjustable tip tops, here and on another forum.

And less elastic to perish?

Hi guys,

What rod protection are you all favouring? I'm currently rocking some NGTrod protectors, paired with their velcro bands 😂

All housed in my Fox, individual rod sleeves.

They've served me well but they're showing their age a bit and quite time consuming to unpack/repack...

What's the current thinking? Trending? - not that I have to follow the trend 😎

Thoughts?

Thanks man - how much we talking? 30, 50m?

That spool has about 50m of back mono from memory.
Are you sure?
