In reply to Post #138
all my rods are short rods, I only fish small waters and I see no point in casting from one side of a lake to the other.... I just walk round and drop a bait in where I want to fish... that said my Dwarf 9' rods supposedly can hit 100 yards plus depending on who you talk to and my Sharpe's 9' can comfortably hit 60-70 yards... don't see the point in me buying owt bigger TBH

Howdo chaps (and chapesses) Newbie here... old gimmer with "Views" retired, been carping since the 70's (arms are getting sore) fished all my life, Carp PB's mirror 28lb 12oz, Common 26lb 8 oz, Leather 21lb even, Wildie 4lbs 1oz love fishing with old gear...
fish every week (mostly, and all sorts, mainly with old knackered gear)

greatest achievement...? snaffling a 12lb common from the Dam wall at Redmire on cane pin and sweetcorn...
Looking forward to shooting the breeze with yiz....

All the Best, Captain Smirnoff
