barbel rod sold

I need to make room for new gear so i'm having a clear out. Pickup only on the large stuff. Rozemeijer power jerk 80-100g 6ft 6in, really nice rod,good large/heavy lure rod, in good, well used condition. £50 Shakespere odessy medium/heavy spin, 9ft, 10-30g (i would say more like 20-50g) Ideal...

ebay, one seller has the 1 kilo base mix kit, got some my self last week

one rod per licence at a reduced cost with a max of 3 or, buy a normal one with a reduced cost option to add a third. i would be happy with either of them

never had a problem with esp ghost parting on knots, or at all tbh in normal use. well wetted polamor and grinner knots have been fine and landed doubles. not lost a fish to line breaking for years (touch wood)

dynamite source stands the test of time

hi andrew, yes its pretty straight forward. one of those 'kick your self ones' super glue mate, couple of 6 or 8mm pellets with the hair trapped between them is all thats required. as for hook link, like you say a lot down to results and personal preference, i may self am doing well with a 4ft...

source mate, stood the test of time. still catches shed loads of fish.

SNAP! this was been discussed on facebook couple of weeks back. people tried to get in touch about them and got no response. lots of reports of them snapping too, i snapped one while tightening a knot. nice hook and shape but always in your mind if it will hold out, then the eye issue too...

i too am using a new bait this season (not new but is to me) 5 sessions, 9 barbel including a new river best and 14 chub including a new pb i would say that works so maybe they dont like your choice???

the new okuma's are not as good as the old ones quality wise. i have had and got old and new interceptors. the new are very poor compared to the old. have a look shakespears new sigma range :-) should be right in your price range too. i bought a non bait runner for lure fishing with braid as it...

e.s.p soft ghost

gone back to source anyway, i can get 5kg packs for 40 quid and pick up from local shop as he's a dynamite stockist

broke mine last week as it doubles as a tench net, not had any problems in use as such but the issue came from (as does previous comment about loose arms dropping out) elastic cord. seems its wound round and round during production to keep it tight, this lead to mine cutting into its self...

all good then, sort a kg my self :)
