TBH im happy i got the Diawa`s my last 12ft 3lb were same rods and they were right nice to use, i did think the old 11 footers were just to old and under gunned, just cheap glass fibre rods, but will still use one of them on the smaller runs lake as fish only run to 15lb in there

That's how it's starts, just a couple of new rods, then reels, then bivvy, bed, luggage, bite alarms, then you start going for non essential stuff like boats, bushwhackers, more luggage to put new bits in, more terminal tackle than you know what to do with then you find you don't use it all, sell some bits to buy more stuff you don't really need 😂 I've had a few bouts of just wanting to buy stuff lately. I've managed to stop myself so far, but for how long..........

feeling like i made wrong choice getting the 12ft rods, im learning more about the lake im fishing and a few of the pegs are a bit "tree`ed in" for getting a cast with longer rods, also i think i will be doing a lot of margin fishing, so might sell the Diawa 12 foots and get 9 or 10ft rods

When I start back, I will be more margin/close in fishing, using 6ft Rods will also get me into some small areas, think I'm gonna wait until new year now get out, get a club day ticket membership (£40) for local club waters for 12months.

Was going to put the pics in a view from a bivvy chair 🙄

Had a go at sea fishing with bait last time was in 1986 I remember the date as that was the year I finished fishing with a local club and had enough of the  comps and big opens every Sunday 

I used for the trip my 3 1/2 test rod and 8k reel with a shock leader 4 oz lead good up to a 5oz .. wow was getting great distances
