I don’t have the kaizen rods, but for my 10ft wychwood extricator+, i have paired them with penn vantage 7000 reel !
And it’s an awsome combo !

After having used shimano reels for 20 years ( and also daiwa tournies ) i ´m really surprised by the penn reel !

I fish 2 Times a week, the only thing now is : Will they last like my shimano and daiwa reel ? Only Time will tell 😉

That’s Kind of you mate, but i´m french so don’t worry about that 😉

I will give money if one had many bottles, but for 50ml it’s not worth as postage and fee tax will be huge for the small quantifies

A good question is : are the cotswold product as effective as before ??

As it seem that all change and, unfortunatly, not in the better way….

I will keep my mate informed, i’m sure he will be more than happy to learn that ! 👍

My mate used Cotswold products in the 90 and said to me they were the best thing he used in his bait.
If I remember correctly, he said to me he used perfect plum, tangleberry, chocker and milk B.

I don’t think they are available anymore?

Thank’s mate, will try taumatin.👍

Hi lads,

It seems that mainline don’t sell it anymore and my stock become reduced.

Anybody know what was the sweetening stuff in it ? As i have tried a lot of sweetner : nhdc, saccarine, sucralose, stevia and not one come close to the Sweet-ade !

Maybe thaumatin ?

Thank’s

I use the fox exocet pro mono in 0,33 (16 lbs) with a clear Amnesia in 20 lbs as a shock leader Andy ( more for it’s abrasion resistance properties against the mussel, rocks etc…)

I fish a wide variety of water here in France and this combo work very well for me !

I rarely need to cast more than 80 meters, if i need distance, i use my Torrix or if allowed, i jump in my boat 😉 .

Bonne déroule également HBfrenchy 😉on arrive dans la bonne saison 😍

Hi All,

I make a quick feed-back on those rods after having fished a few Times with them !

I have those extricator + in 10ft with the cork handle.

The rod is really slim and well balanced, very light! the rings especially the tip ring, are maybe a bit big but it’s just me.

I have them paired with Penn vantage 7000 and the combo is very well balanced.
On the casting side it’s surprisingly good for a 10ft, i clipped at 100 meters and with a 0,33 mono, a 3,5 oz lead, a 6 inches fluoro hooklink and a 15mm bottom bait, i hit the clip by 7 Times on the 9 cast i tried, so really enough for my fishing with them !

Now, the most important part : the action on the fish ! I absolutly love them !
Since i have them i have caught fish from just under 10lbs to just upper 35 lbs and the rods are a joy during the fight, they bend really well, and have enough power to make the fish turn in front of the snags on the canal !


I really want to thank you all for your opinion as it’s really a very good rod for the price and i m well happy with them

Thank’s for all your review guy’s 👍

If I need to cast, i have my 12ft Torrix for the job. ( or my boat…..😂)

Those wychwood will be for 80% of my fishing that is under 80 yards.
