B B Posted January 25, 2021 Report Posted January 25, 2021 So my fishing fund jar is filled up and it’s time to splash the cash. I have been trying out rods over the park that belong to friends and friends of friends from Fox X3 , was hoping to try the X4, ESP Onyx and Free Spirt, hopefully got a Prologic to try out mid week. All nice rods but still looking. .... and if one more dog walker asked me if I caught any fish yet 🙄 After a 12ft fast taper ish £160 ish per rod Quote
Carpbell_ll Posted January 25, 2021 Report Posted January 25, 2021 Prologic rods have always been solid like at of of their tackle seems to be one of those companies that get overlooked the new range of bivvys the inspire range look one of the best buys out there for a 20.000 mm bivvy. B B 1 Quote
ouchthathurt Posted January 26, 2021 Report Posted January 26, 2021 I’ve got fox rods mate, (torques 12ft 3lb test) and I can’t fault them for action or build quality pal. B B 1 Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted January 26, 2021 Report Posted January 26, 2021 What about RH DMX range? I've got RH The Ones as well as my Century NG's and in terms of feel The Ones, although a lot cheaper, are very good. The current DMX rods also feel very nice. https://rodhutchinson.co.uk/product/dmx-mk1-rods/ B B 1 Quote

Love mine was unsure as weather to get them or not due to them being 10 footers i figured i would get on with them as i used to use a 10 foot float rod and much preferred it to a 13 float rod. Really do like these rods they are the kind of rods that are a pleasure to use . Quote

B B Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Posted January 28, 2021 Il have to look it up. I would like to give it a good whack tho.... something satisfying about casting with a multiplier over a fixed spool. Quote

I know the area, it is a proper fishery, right next to a Carmelite monastery, not far from Banham Zoo. You can be sitting fishing and nuns walk round the lake. Can't remember the fence or stile.

B B Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Posted January 28, 2021 Was thinking of getting the eyes rewhipped on a set of 3 rods, anyone know roughly how much it would cost ? Quote
B B Posted January 29, 2021 Author Report Posted January 29, 2021 Had a cast with a Prologic rod today lovely blank had funky eyes don’t know if there a gimmick tho. Think it’s the rod for me. elmoputney 1 Quote

B B Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Posted February 3, 2021 The rods arrived today and Iv been over the park to try them again and I’m happy. Went for a set of Prologic C3 Fulcrum 12 ft 3.5llb. I asked the shop how much they could do me for 3 and got them £430 delivered, so saved £50 .... like my Nan you used to say if you don’t ask you don’t get. salokcinnodrog, ouchthathurt and elmoputney 3 Quote

I was kicked out of the United Church of Canada for awhile for hammering the smart mouth kid in front of me in the back of the head with my Bible in confirmation class when I was 14. I hit him so hard he got a nosebleed, and the elder who was standing in front of us teaching the class was his father. Red card. They made me go back and finish about 2 weeks later. Quote
