I’m blaming Mark Wintle for my next rod purchase!
Having arthritis in my hands I find holding a rod a length of time uncomfortable due to the reel seat. I’ve noticed that Mark uses parts of an inner tube to act as a cushion over the seat, something that goes back a way looking on google and it seems a very popular trick with a few anglers.
Having already an 11ft And 14ft Matchpro, a 13ft would complete my needs.....for now.mg:
I rather fancy an older rod without a reel seat, I don’t want to spend a kings ransom on a “collectors” rod, must be a nice light rod that is sensitive enough to handle small roach and dace. I’m currently looking at an original Original Drennan IM6 13ft Stick Float Rod, is this a good choice, any other suggestions?
