Looking for some fox quiver tips ideally between 1/2oz and 2oz, not sure if they're all the same but the ones I need have diameter of about 3.5mm.
Thanks

These were on sale at a country show, they looked very good. Similar to the seelands.
There are plenty of better reels on the market, the ones I use are on old rods from yester year they are more in keeping with, I get more enjoyment using them than I do my modern reels which I'll be the first to admit are far better.
I can't find the particular video I had previously seen but this on shows you how, the ss spool caps are different because you have to drill out the lugs (by hand with a drill bit). The procedure is then the same and you secure the cap with a spot of glue in each of the lugs when complete...
Hi Peter,
I have qd the spools on both my 2600 and 1600 reels. You do of course loose the finer adjustment but the are still perfectly ok to use and play fish off the clutch with. They are quite easy to do yourself and there are a few articles and videos on the net showing you how, my advice...
Recently bought a fox matrix space brolly and used it for the first time Saturday. At last I think I have found a really light weight brolly which won't blow inside out at the the first fart of wind, not having the spokes to contend with is a big plus too. Compact when folded down and only a...
Thanks for the replies so far, as I do a fair bit of trotting on the river I'm often using rods up to 17ft so 11ft seems short but it sounds as if they will be fine, still not going to rush into getting them tho as I have learnt from experience "buy in haste...regret at leisure".
Hi, to be honest I have been looking at 12ft rods but I have been offered the 11ft rods from a friend, they are infact carp rods but being 1.75lb TC they grabbed my attention!
Hi all, just looking for some help/info on rods, still in the process of getting a barbel setup together and have my eye on some 11ft 1.75lb rods but I'm concerned about the length... Will 11ft be ok on the rivers I'm looking to fish (Hampshire Avon and Dorset stour)?
Thanks in advance for...
Thanks for the replys so far and yes I will have to think about suitable rods? I have some old sundridge cortina 1.75lb rods which I had thought about using but they are a bit soft now and I managed to bend one through to the butt the other day whilst tench fishing! So they may be a bit under...
Hi all, new to bfw and have never fished for barbel before so let my apologise in advance any daft questions I'm likely to ask:rolleyes: got back into angling a couple of years back and river fishing has really brought home to me the enjoyment I got as a young lad when i would wish the week away...
