Sorry Derek I didn’t mean to be sharp. I just read my post back. 🙏 What I was pointing out is this stuff that melts at 250°c is probably quite handy to plug a hole or stick a mug back together but because it doesn’t melt the parent material (in this case aluminum at 600°c) it doesn’t fuse...

Fantastic Al appreciate that. I’m in Newcastle and Liverpool this week on afew jobs but I’ll definitely come over your way next week and have it. 👍🏻

I’ll take the chair for £25 al. Can I pick up next week pls

Absolutely not mate. A hole in a frying pan is fine but for a structural joint in ALMG that needs a fusion weld with a matching composition consumable like 5356

Looks like the frame has broken where plastic surrounding bit would have been in the picture. Probably not fixable without a good fabricator on the job

That’s a slab Lee 😎

Fantastic Neil

They’ll be there but it very much depends on cloud cover. Does start clearing around my way from 10:30pm apparently

He uses a powermesh 15ft float rod. I’ve never actually come across one before but given the size of the lumps he tames on it, I’d imagine it’s quite a rare find for good reason

Korum did one not too long ago. “Aeronium” recliner. Had long front legs too so it was more useful than most for inclines...

This rod is grossly underrated. It’s a very specialized piece of kit imo and a true barbel bashing float rod no question about it. I’d have no concerns whatsoever with ringing any of the models up with 10lb line. I don’t own one but I’ve used one and caught chub on it which isn’t a...

It’s a common trend that barbel rods need at least 8 guides plus tip. I don’t know why and to be honest I think it’s very dictated by fashion. Guides are there to guide your line through the rod . You need enough of them to allow for a smooth transition of line from guide to guide and no...

I’ve never been asked those questions Bob. It must just be yourself that offers such options

Absolutely yes they are amazing. I saw them in Iceland last year and Norway a long time ago but never seen them like that before. This solar storm we are having this weekend has really kicked aurora into top gear. To see purple and red anywhere in the world is so rare. Apparently she’s out...

Anyone saw the stunning Aurora tonight. Strongest they’ve been in the uk for over 20 years. We got some absolutely amazing pictures in the crystal clear sky’s above Cambridge. Please share your pics if you were out admiring it too.

I would say less than 1% of people that have rods custom built know these things either Simon. If you needed to know it, then most people would be very hesitant too. Custom builds are guided by your builder. You can’t really get it wrong unless the builder makes a mistake in which case it’s...

Definitely the way forward. Most pins drastically fail on drum diameter for me as a float trotter. It’s quite shocking how much dead time you have bringing floats back in a full days session. Anything to reduce this slightly can definitely put more fish on the bank when they are having it.

Is it worth the hassle for the price of it. Just throw a tenna at it and get the guide changed

It’s a question that can’t be answered correctly because an upgrade to me might be a step backwards to you. Going back to the rod …… would I pay £125 for something 10g lighter?……. For me it depends where that 10g is. For others they care less about the location and every gram matters For...

Over????? I never expected that. Under would be a logical fault as it could be explained by a sticking rack n pinion or a bit of corrosion just causing some resistance to make the weight. Over reading from a perfect zero would possibly suggest an over stretched spring or some wear in the...
