Surely if it was custom built by Mark Tunley, the rings on the rod would have been your choice, that is unless you bought one of his 'off the shelf' rods. I have had lots of rods built by Mark and I can say hand on heart, they are things of beauty.
Chris, I should've read through to the end of the thread and I would've seen your post apologising for your earlier comment. Perhaps I shouldn't have hit the first tremble of the rod top and waited for the three foot twitch. Best regards Steve
Bill and Chris, I saw that after I'd posted my comment. As an angler that enjoys fishing for different species, I do find what I see as an elitist attitude towards fish that are deemed by some as inferior or a nuisance to their chosen quarry. Thanks for pointing out Chis' post to which I've...
But offence taken Chris, I've fished for river Thames' carp for thirty years and Thames' barbel and chub for fifty plus years. Your post comes across as very elitist, labelling anyone who fishes for 'mud pigs' (your words not mine) with the same tag as this guy, who's actions are obviously...
I'm looking at the pics of your feeder rigs, I'm wondering how the feeder can be dropped in the event of a breakage of the main line? If not, then a fish could be towing the rig around, risking getting weeded up and a slow death.

The BBC reported just a few days ago that 2020 saw the most deaths since WWII. It repoted that there were close to 697,000 deaths in 2020 - nearly 85,000 more than would be expected based on the average in the previous five years.
This represents an increase of 14% - making it the largest rise...
Just wondering how many anglers on here move on to stillwaters to fish for tench, bream or carp once the close season on rivers is upon us. Of course that would be hypocritical given some of the comments in this thread.
