Great to hear your up.n running Mike.After many many months I’m now back on the scene ,king alfred right now,
It’s my pride and joy that rod work of artGood luck & Tight lines Mike - I spy one of Stan's Rods?
Nice one,sounds good apart from the nests and crack offs hahaBig blank lol , reels birdies , crack offs , but really injoyed every single minute of it , good clean air , big beautiful full moon, I’m ready for the next outing I’m servicing my reels at this very minute
Nicked this off Pictures & Jokes Thread.reels birdies , crack offs
It’s a very nice rod but one massive dislike, it has no reducer , I cast with reel right 5 inches off the butt cap on all my rods , so iv had to cast with the reel up the butt which I dislike, it can’t be fitted with a reducer because of the thin walled butt , I refuse to move the reel up to 12 inches from the butt it’s not my thing so I have to cast with the reel up the butt , otherwise it’s a nice rod casts nice it’s a ok rod , it would be fantastic rod if a reducer could be fitted as standardI also spied a new LA.... the virdict Mike?
Make your own reducer & put a jubilee clip on the butt , or whip the bottom 4 inches?It’s a very nice rod but one massive dislike, it has no reducer , I cast with reel right 5 inches off the butt cap on all my rods , so iv had to cast with the reel up the butt which I dislike, it can’t be fitted with a reducer because of the thin walled butt , I refuse to move the reel up to 12 inches from the butt it’s not my thing so I have to cast with the reel up the butt , otherwise it’s a nice rod casts nice it’s a ok rod , it would be fantastic rod if a reducer could be fitted as standard

I have my reel 8" from the but cap on all my rods Mike, I don't have any problem reeling in. Just move yours up 3", no need for a reducer then mate.
