needless to say nothing was caught last night

Sorry to hear about this mate

I’ve got a set of Fox Horizon X3-s 12ft 3.5lb tc rods, you’ll pick them up new for £98 each, (I don’t think they’ve been out long) they’re pretty stiff, they will cast far further than I’ll ever need! They’re coupled with fox eos 12000 reels and Diawa tournament line in 18lb test, the diameter is pretty thin for a line of this strength, it will send a 3.5 or 4oz lead lovely. downside is I feel like I’ve got 3 beachcasters balancing on the Neville’s 🙄 it’s a balance though, I still use my 3lb fox torques for a lot of sessions, but they won’t do the distance the horizons will, not in my hands anyway

I know exactly what you mean mate, when a water gets under your skin, you just gotta fish it out of your system! There’s one or two waters I’d be on now if I hadn’t moved back to Sussex, I haven’t been able to find their like on the waters around here

the boy’s Christmas present going for their maiden outing

Merry Christmas to you all and a happy new year 🥳

Also I’m very sorely tempted by a set of fox horizon x3-s 12ft rods… 🙄

Recent purchases include 3x fox warrior 12ft 2.75tc rods, 3x shimano 1000 bait runners, 3x stow basix bobbins, 1x fox mini micron alarm, 3x unbranded but grips, 1 rod bag and 3 rod sleeves. It’s time my boy upgraded his lil £30 9ft rods, so this will be his Xmas present

Rods out at the end of an overnighter, taken yesterday morning the boys rods out

No no no you’re doing it all wrong! No camou tape on the rod butts, no dinky 3 rod buzz bars, where if you get a take on the middle rod, you can’t strike it without knocking off the other two, no folded reel handles… barely even trying also, 12ft rods?? That’s so 1990s… where’s the 6ft sawn offs and bread bombs? 🙄

my result 🙄

22lb common caught at 8am this morning

100% agree - I’ve got 4 of them, and absolutely love them.

Not to be out done, I had it last month…
