Phone 751 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Steve, Well that was hard. Posted 23 January 2013 - 05:30 PM (post #1) you lamented you were being VERY strict with yourself. I see what you mean. Posted Today, 12:53 AM (post #20) after enduring unbearable punishment (dinner and all that). I sympathise and feel your pain. I admire your will power.

Steve Walker 941 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks Phone, I have reappraised my priorities, and realised that if I don't spend all my money on fishing gear I will be induced to spend it on less important stuff - like buying myself an expensive dinner for my birthday Link to post Share on other sites
RUDD 99 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Darling wife has taken me away to a very fancy country hotel to celebrate my 40th. I have just picked up the tab for (a really outstandingly good, but still...) dinner in said fancy country hotel, which came to about £150 for two people. Price of new rod put into context - will be picking one up on Monday and ordering an Abu 706 to go with it! Happy 40th - whats it like? I have one in a couple of months:-P RUDD Different floats for different folks! Link to post Share on other sites

bromley 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It all depends on the type of fishing you do (and enjoy). Trotting for roach and dace is my thing and the rod comes highly recommended. It has dealt with chub to four and half pounds, but I would not really want to use it on anything much bigger. , Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Walker 941 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well, thanks everyone, I have bought one! Now all I need is for the rivers to go back down to a trottable level and I can take it for a test drive! Link to post Share on other sites
