Greys specimen or Barbel, come in 1.75 TC. These are bothe really good rods, I've got the prodigy Barbel twin tip, 1.75 and 2.O TC. I've used it for tench, barbel and carp up to 20lb, lovely rod to play fish with enough power in the but to keep control.

Link above, I recently used these guys for a chair that I couldn't find in the UK great service and good prices?

Hi all,

thought I would give a big shout out to these guys. After several weeks of looking and deciding on a chair, I was struggling to find anywhere with stock. I managed to locate the Solar Bankmaster Wide with them, the chair itself was in the sale at 59 euors and shipping only 16 euros, so overall was cheaper than buying in the UK. I ordered it through the website on Monday afternoon and it arrived today.
Outstanding service, provided tracking through UPS and even put a couple of freebies in the box.

As per the previous post, roll up filter tips, you can get a bag of 100 or more for less than a £1, cut them in half and they fit perfectly over the hook point?

If size isn't an issue, I would pick up just a cheap standard sized one, you can get them form circa £50. It'll be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a 3/4 size?

One summer pond at Linear, be about an Hour and twenty for you. Average stamp of fish is around 3lb but some decent double figure fish to be had. I took my Grandson a couple of weeks ago, he's 4, absolutely loved it, plenty of action to keep him interested. We had loads of smaller fish and a 8lb common and 12lb mirror. Going again this weekend.

I always have a dozen or so pre tied, a mixture of the bag stems and 4 inch leaders, as previously stated, a simple loop to loop knot and you ready to get them out as soon as you arrive. This is a good way to try for an early fish whilst you get everything else sorted. You can cast them pretty much anywhere and know the presentation of the bait will be good. Keep the rigs short, between 3 and 4 inches.

I have the 316 adjustable in stainless, it really is a great pod, covers all situations and is built to last. I added a pair of 10 inch bank sticks to mine and this gives me a few other options should i need them. I've had a few pods over the years, this really is one of the best.

Jag compact is a great pod, covers every situation you need it for, expensive, but very well built and made to last!

Thanks, I had looked at the Solar Bank Master, but unable to find anyone with stock?
