I've used one for years on my floater rod, beautiful little reels with a swiss watchmaker like clutch, solid reels that are truly dependable, compact but with plenty of cranking power which is where some of the smaller modern reels can be lacking

I don't know how true this is but i was told mallards loose their oil near mating time to enable better grip hence why at certain times of the year they can reach decent depths, it does seem to make sense if that is the true reason, if not its a good story

I can't help with the quickdraw brolly.but if they are anything like my lo pro then i would choose that any day over the fast and light which isn't particularly fast, light or durable, I've had 2 of them now and they've both been poor in comparison which is a real shame aa they are the brilliant in terms of footprint and coverage

I don't know if this helps but i am currently having a set of 3.5.customs built at century so they may still have some blanks available if they are discontinuing them. Been using the 3.25s for years and they're lovely rods, plenty of back bone but with a decent action to them, they will cater for most scenarios and methods. Oddly enough i have added a band of whipping on the joints on my old ones and the ones i am having built as it always bugged me slightly although in use you really can't see it, most likely something to do with the way they centre grind the joint.

I have the torrent and find it adequately warm down to 0 but i wish I'd gone for the extreme although this is probably a metabolic related issue, i do love the cut and fit of the torrent though and it seems excellent so far in a downpour, i also have a fortis tundra that i ordered in large same as the torrent but its overall a much larger jacket with substantially more insulation but it make me look like a little fat pudding so i always opt for the torrent
