  1. The breaking strain and fish landing properties of line completely depend on the environment that you are fishing in. For example, I managed to land a 26lb 8oz carp on 6lb line, size 14 hook and an avon rod with 1.25 test curve from a snag free lake. Using the same set up on a snaggy river swim I would be lucky to land a 4lb chub. The rod action and test curve are only a starting point for deciding which strength or type of line to go for. The swim and conditions, as well as the type of fish you are hoping to catch are far more important factors in deciding which strength of line you need. Hope this helps
  2. I've got a pair of the original (and the best !) JW avons, I've replaced both the handles and fitted fuji screw reel fittings to improve them as the sliding reel fitting was the only weak point they had. Still going strong after 20 odd years, landed Barbel to 13lbs, Carp to 26lbs( after a long fight! )but just as at home quiver tipping for dace, roach, chub etc...
  3. Has JB got you on a commission ? lol !!

    I used to fish it quite a bit a few years ago, full of genuine "wildies" nothing very big, but great fun catching them off the top in the evenings. The deepest end is the left hand side.
