A rod needs to cast a long way. The. Trebuchet was conceived as the ultimate distance rod, but you really. This new. lighter version is aimed at the majority of us who want the distance.

When I left England we had riots, and while I was away the stock. It was a family holiday, but there was still. I rarely. do, perched on rocks mostly, it made me think. Both about the fishing. It was. Izaak Walton who coined the term . I came to two important conclusions. First, however bad. The second. conclusion is that we all tend to specialise too much in our fishing. Anyway, I caught some fish, but more importantly, that fishing. One example of this is beach rods. We have produced. Float rods are another example. Once the biggest part of our.

Use your rods from day one the way you intend to use. Keep them clean and dry, and give them the occasional clean and. That is all they need. I would like to add a few extra words of explanation. The video shows how we work in partnership with some really. These rod builders may be one man operations, or they may be. For example, Fosters in Birmingham have their own . We also work closely with some other shops, to. I will. focus on these dealers in one of my next videos. So why buy a custom built rod? I think the. question should be why not?

I can see every. blank being made from my office window, then I have more control over. A good friend of mine from Europe who does import. China and spends a lot of time out there with manufacturers.
