Hes got a pair of Italcanna LAs I found them very reasonable in taffy land last week.
Gary there is a theme here we all have them in fact we have ten between us now.
I know you like to do your "thing" and I know you have tried a shit tonne of rods but....... of all the rods we have had through our hands over the last five years there is only one rod thats been kept....
Fair enough we all have a lighter set and a heavier set as well but what do we think is the best rod..... its the LA end of.

Im sure i can sort something out . Let me know when with enough notice to sort bait and I'll be there if i can . Any keepers in amongst them ?
 
That's a better day than I had, was there on Saturday. Missed quite a few bites, but refused to drop hook sizes but managed 6 between 29 and 33cm. They only seemed to want rag for some reason, couldn't buy a bite on lug.

I was using size 1s, only because I had dug rag that were huge. I always try and match the bait size with the hook size. On this occasion I didn't use any bling, just a standard 3 hook clipped.

Well now that looks like a proper cod attractor that will get to the root of the problem.

Thanks. Haven't got out for a dangle since last year, so need to have a turn out and remind myself what hooks I've got. Aberdeens or similar I guess for Worm baits?

Your advice is always appreciated but not needed in this case! I can't afford and would not pay more than £100 for a rod, and don't want another mortgage for two at £900!
I paid £57 for my new Vertix Conti rod when some stores on eBay were auctioning off stock just before Grauvell went to the wall. Bloody good rod. Wouldn't mind another matching one, and there was one on eBay, but the guy wanted £150 for it, and £30 P&P. He's listed it 7 times, no bids, and now it's vanished unsold. Bloody fortune hunters!

Its horses for courses...... is a 500 quid rod better than a 50 quid rod? I think that it is....... the truth is anything is worth what you are willing to pay for it.
