As I understand it , a rough rule of thumb is a 1 lb Test curve rod is used to cast a total of 1oz in weight ( which is roughly 30g ) - the 10-30g would be the recommended casting range of your little spinning rod I believe . Personally I would go for a 1 1/2 lb test curve as Nick advises , and then maybe later move on to the stronger rods the others have recommended , the 1 1/2 lb would then be used for floater fishing . đ

Can you tell us what your " third hand rod " is please - hopefully it still has a transfer on it which tells you what it is , then hopefully we can work out what test curve it is . đ

Just don't leave Elwood asleep in his car seat while you have a little mouch around the lake if the sun suddenly comes out ! . âšī¸

Well if Nige is personally autographing the Nash products that's bound to put the price up . đ

Well if Nige gives you a generous discount Highy that ÂŖ200 may just cover the Nash stand ! . đ

That's very interesting Blue. , but I thought you suffered with your back and knees ? . I think my knees would protest the next day if I sat on a Lo Chair other than for a short period of time , and the same for sitting on a mat or the grass ; I am better off sitting on my JRC Xlite Chair at 3kg. đ -

I remember a 'photo that Nick posted of his very discreet night time set up using a tarp. , very minimalistic and mobile . -
Lucky it didn't hit your windscreen . đ¨

Happy that you're pleased with the job . Hopefully out of the 4 weeks you were without the rod the weather was stopping you getting out anyway for some of the time ? . đ

Well I was originally thinking about a Kayak , but now you mention sleeping on the boat , maybe a punt ? . I'm just guessing though as I've no experience of this sort of thing . As Kev says though " safety first " . đ

Go round with your little ginger enforcer and a stale pork pie . đ

I suppose he could be ill , but surely he could manage a text . Personally , having lived in Spain ( land of the British cowboy ) I would never pay up front , no leverage if it all goes pete tong . Go round mob handed with your boy and give him a slap . đ

Would this be a boat for paddling / rowing ? .

Oh dear , didn't you have a second rod to put out a pink almond pop up on ? . Well if mate no.4 didn't go that's an extra 1/4 of a pie for the 4 of you who went ! đ

So what , if anything , was mate 3 doing that you weren't ? . 3 mates ? , you're a popular fella ! . đ
