I'm in exactly the same position torn between these rods! What do people think is the best rod from these, Harrison Aviator/Stealth Graphene/Daiwa Basia? I know rods are a personal thing but would be interested in personal experiences with these rods?

Oh ok, thanks for that, I'll give FB a try.

Been trying to contact Wintons France but no answers as of yet. Anyone know if these guys are still about or not? Any info would be helpful.

From what I've witnessed over the years I have to agree!
I had very little time on the MKF ticket so I may not be rightfully allowed to comment on this subject.

As far as I'm aware, MKF have been a good servant for many years to lots of anglers, giving them choice and a good stamp of fish to go for.......but.......my short experience of these waters has been hugely disappointing and a reminder of why I reduced my time on the bank in the UK.

In the UK my opinion is, as carp anglers, we've been fed upon by greedy companies and landowners. Lake owners that pack too many anglers on to tiny, over stocked venues are coining it in to the detriment of the surroundings and fish and things have got to change.........maybe this is the time for the ex MKF lakes......although I certainly agree that some of their venues seemed devoid of fish and curiously shut for spawning many, many times resulting in members losing vast swathes of time on the bank.....not that you could easily get to the banks of a few of their lakes! (Very poor access, especially to Handle)

I'm all for change......let's hope this change of management results in huge improvements!

That's so true!

Not sure what to make of them as nobody seems to have had any “hands on” experience at the moment. Shame tbh.

BTW Heard back from Chris and he's directed me towards his CODE rods. They look pretty good too!!

I saw Chris was selling the rods and to be fair they look pretty damn good.......just would rather know a bit more about them before committing to lots of cash.

BTW I have contacted Chris for a bit more info......I'll see what comes of that.

Has anyone had a chance to see these Atrex rods in the flesh? They sound and look the part but are they as good as a Harrison or Century blank? I'm looking for a new set of 12' 3.25 TC rods and would like to know if I should consider them?

What do you guys think?

Not much of a topic but can anyone direct me to where I can get a copy of the Sonik SKX alarms + bivvy lamp set up manual please? Many thanks.

Totally agree!! There will be hundreds that aren't following the rules upon their return from their French fishing trips!!!!!! And I've missed out on two trips this year with some lake owners confused and angry as to why I can't do the same as these rule breakers!!!

I don't have the luxury of having enough holiday to self isolate for two weeks!
