Well strangely enough Alan there is a Match 1 and 2 of your rods on ebay that I noted early yesterday. Same comment re lifting 2kg for the 2

Mike. Is it one of these stops. I have two Nomadic chairs. Can't seem to release these though if they fit.

It's a simple answer for me. Does the rod I own do everything pretty much that I want it to in terms of species and size caught. Do I enjoy using it. If the answers are yes. Sorted.

Hiya Brian. Yes end of season, in fact last few months on most rivers pretty hopeless. Certainly when I came to fish with the Mafia!! I've got a swap ticket near Breamore so probably be around a bit more this coming season. Be good to meet up if possible

Hi Brian. I suggest it might be a Matchtec 15ft. There were a number of multi length rods 13/15 15/17 ft as well as a few straight lengths in the Ultra II range. Later I believe the Ultra II logo was their feeder range. Mid 90's I think and worth around £110 with a fair wind. Then again, I...

Alan. One day too late! Just bought 2!

Yes I double up my pike rod that has braid on already and a 6000 reel.

To be honest the best bet is to send 10kg to a few of us and gain a view after the first couple of months. Four more anglers needed

I agree with Richard. I really enjoy using my Mach 1 14ft rod. Very underrated, if you choose correctly.

Jamie. A pal last seasin on here asked me if I could suggest a place to have a fish on the Kennet, as he wasn't local. Managed a double on the day. There are good fish around, just not so prolific as 15+ years ago when 5 fish incl 3 doubles wasn't unusual when I was guiding. And dont forget...

Wow. Congratulations Richard. Brilliant Fishing.

My black reel seats and guides have both lost colour and reverting to mottled silver/black

Just returned from 30 biteless hours, as did a few others. To my knowledge only one fish landed over that period. Mind you, It was 12.01.

Well done Alex. Incidently, I'm using some line marker painted on the line and stopping it on the cast as it comes off the reel. I always have a fear, clipping up, that the whole lot may go lakeways on a rogue screamer.
