    I will ring them tomorrow and get to bottom of it if no decent answer i will just ask for refund this will be faster than paypal dispute

    A not so good update on the reels from Gerry`s still not shipped and now website has changed to "out of stock" and they are not replying to my emails so its time for a paypal dispute claim now i need to find a different pair of reels

    sorry for the sad news, never good at all and it is still a fact a heater in a bivvy is a killer

    there was no need for slack drag orfoam on an open bail, the bobbin on the bank stick was not in use as i was fishing with a stick float

    Totally get what you say, clutch is set as light as can be

    the new cane rod and mitchell 410

    If you are not likely to get a night ticket it may be worth looking at stalking the fish come the better weather, im planning to do this on my local water

    B B good shout but the tape is working just great and can barely see it, seems i have more mitchell reels heading my way
  9. jules007
    The Gorilla gaffer tape mod worked a treat i used the 410 with the new cane rod and no tangles behind spool, so happy to continue using at least one of these reels

    Very tempted but looks like it will cost another £20 or so, as i have a pair of old tatty reels that work i just as well wait it out for them to arrive, its not exactly prime fishing time with weather as it is so just gonna have to be patient
  11. jules007
    So the reels still not shipped Gerrys list them as "in stock" but after making enquiries seems they will ship out sometime in January so clearly not in stock, wont be using this shop again as we have a different idea of what in stock means

    cant help thinking i might of got a duff roll of this, ended up giving it away and thats after getting a stripping tool, wont use it again, shame as ESP is good gear and i used to rate strip tease as best

    I get all this, im back on a club complex i fished way back in 2007-2009, i feel like im home again, just feels so right being back here but yet to catch, and its well stocked 4 acre lake with around 170 carp. I will say its really well run, as tidy as can be, proper made up being back on here

    As i no longer do over nighters just day fishing i take a flask of coffee with me but when i used to bivvy up i would have tea other than first thing in morning

    well said mr Gordan going into a big shop and looking at rods is the way forward and maybe asking for a nice new year discount, if you want cork look at Wychwood or tackle box derwent valley rods
  16. jules007
    Hi lee, i think you could do better for less money, not really heard much about these rods, seems they are about £85 each, are you wanting cork handles, also you might be better of going 2.5lb tc

    The bespoke split cane rod i had made has arrived and i am super made up with it, this was hand crafted for me and is just a thing of beauty the Calder 'n' hebble 1lb 2oz Avon rod named after the local canal navigation i will be using it on for large Perch and smaller carp
  18. jules007
    Yeah and no big rush for them but i did order 21.12 and still not sent out
  19. jules007
    another item arrived, shame the new reels have not even shipped yet, a little disappointed with Gerrys of morcame on the reels so this is 12lb that seems to break at about 18lb
  20. jules007
    little update on the 410 reels i cut a slice (long 4mm ribbon of gorilla tape and fitted that to bottom of spool and it takes up the gap nicely, it should improve the problem
  21. jules007
    Might be right, time will tell
  22. jules007
    Yes sir those sticks and bobbins look very nice indeed
  23. jules007
    More bait from No 10 Downing st ha ha
  24. jules007
    My new to me custom split cane rod is now in the postal system and on its way to me, i have never used a cane rod so this is going to be a whole new experience for me, i plan to christen it on its name sake water, the Calder an Hebble navigation canal
  25. jules007
    Got a 30cm stainless buzz bar so i can splay the rod tips out, wont put any more fish on the bank, but i like the presentation, also got an NGT 5litre bait bucket
