I've been using the Korda Subline Tapered for a while and I'm happy with it. Just be aware that the 40lb section is quite long so if you don't trim it back you'll have too many turns of it on your reel and it will reduce casting distance. I trimmed mine back so I had 1 1/2 turns of the thick section on the spool.

Yes, I bought one early this year for my mobile setup. I paid £45 from Ludlow tackle on eBay.
It's a brilliant rod for the money, chucking a mini Spomb 40 to 50 yads with ease.

Talk to your local shop. I've had one on order with mine since launch and he told me earlier this week he is finally getting a delivery next week 😀

Thanks for that. What I thought to be honest. I'd give the new Wychwood tactical brolly a look if only they could actually get them in the shops.

I see your point, but the shelter that suits me best is just one that keeps me dry and fits in my quiver. I've rationalised my kit and the aqua roving quiver fits perfectly with the rods, nets and slings I carry as part of a highly mobile set up that suits my fishing and the waters I'm on.

I appreciate your suggestion though.

I'm looking at a new brolly system and interested to know what people are using that will fit in an Aqua Roving Quiver. I like the look of the Tempest Brolly V2 but I can't find one in a shop I can get a packed down size for. Cheers

You can still fish locked up and sit on your rods if you're in a snaggy area, just fish a small drop on your bobbin and no more slack than that just so the fish can't use the tightness of the line as resistance to bump the rig out.
I'm using the fox angled drop off running kit although I've not needed to drop leads where I'm fishing. Being able to take the lead off and leave your rod set up when packing away is a good feature of the fox kit though.
As far as line goes I'd fish a good quality mono at a strength to suit the venue hazards and no leader, rather than drop the lead anyway. Always better to have the strength to land the fish in the conditions rather than drop the lead in my opinion.

I don't think tight lines and running rigs is a great combination tbh. I've been using running rigs for a year or so now and finding it a great edge where most are on lead clip or heli setups. In my experience you need a bit of slack so that you have at least a small drop on your bobbin so that the initial pick up by the fish encounters as little resistance as possible. What I believe happens with this setup is that the fish tries to eject the rig against the weight of the lead but does not find the resistance it needs and then bolts. On pressured waters I've gone from a few beeps which I thought may be liners to a few beeps, a small delay, and then a screamer. Pretty clear I was getting done on a lead clip setup looking back on it now. I've found I can still use a variety of rig types with this setup and the hook holds are still great. Hope that helps.

I've had some for just over a year now, bought originally to go on some 10 footers that only got used now and then on small waters. They're so good I've moved them to my main 12 footers and use them exclusively. Drag is fast but controllable, actually to the point that I now use the drag to play fish rather than backwind for the first time in over 25 years. The only thing I would say is that the drag washers are not waterproof, but other than that I really can't fault them.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that. Sounds like I ought to give it a miss.
