Greetings Fellow Travellers,
I know this question will have been asked many times before, but I'm going to have to ask it once again, sorry.
My puzzlements are as follows,
1] What is an Avon rod, is it 'just a tip' [or tips] or is it a 'complete rod'?
2] For what form of angling does one resort to using an Avon rod? Can it, an Avon rod, be used for float fishing, feeder fishing, or both?
3] What sort of freshwater fish does 'one go after' when using an Avon rod?
4] What would be an ideal length for an Avon rod. What about the recommended reel, line breaking strain etc?
5] Where did the name 'Avon' rod originate? Obviously the River Avon has got something to do with it, but there must be more to the naming/title than that? Does anyone know anything more?
6] Can an Avon rod be used (a) on commericials, (b) or rivers, or (c) both?
7] Is an Avon rod the same, or similar to, a 'quiver tip' rod.
Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
As ever, regards'
