I have the 12 foot Aviator Spod. It's a lovely rod to use, not difficult to compress.

More than a whiff of that prize plumb fantasist TeeCee about you...

He must be mates with somebody as more experienced, knowledgeable, successful and articulate bait makers were banned for a lot less than Mozzi is getting away with. Every thread trashed under the guise of giving advice, advice that is at best arbitrary; use a hydro, use a powder etc etc etc

I've stopped posting on the forum as he just started jumping on every post and picking an argument, waste of time.

Yep, these are the model I have. Built by Calvin Hancock.

Bit much over some fishing rods?

John, good idea to go and see the rod builder. I have a set of Aviators, they are nice rods.

Wow, you can take an image like that on the bank? Do you mind showing us a photo of the amount/size of equipment it requires?

I use a Spro rig wallet. Works well and doesn't take up much space.

If no rain is forecast I'll always chose to go under the stars. I've been caught out a few times with an early morning shower but all part of the fun.

There's nothing like laying there on a clear night looking up at a sky of stars, one of the great pleasures of our hobby.

I would still want a foot of tubing over any braided leader to protect the fish.
