Ben the new rod works just fine
« on: 22/02/2013 at 18:40 »


Guys,
as some of you may be aware i broke my 15 footer recently with the sumo rod rack disaster. I have been fishing all this week on a lower Dee beat without even touching a kelt. I finally bit the bullet and parted with money in Bens shop this morning for a nice new shiny 15 footer and a new line which Ben kindly threw in as part of the deal. The beat was fully booked but the guys let me have a play with my new toy and eureka I hooked and landed 2 springers one at 8 npounds and another at 18 pounds. A greta start to the new season, Thanks for the rod Ben.

Hi Eddie

What a great start with a new rod.

I bet they put a smile on your face after the disaster with the rod holders.

Cheers Jim, up until those 2 we had 4 rods fishing all week without even a pull from one of last year's models. I will be out trying again tomorrow.

Iain,
Cheers for that breaking them in is all a ways better than merely breaking them.
