Just ordered a new 36” Dinsmores specimen/carp/pike landing net head from eBay as, when sorting my garage out, I found that mice had eaten bloody big holes in my Abu one!
As mentioned in another thread I have just found and bought Daiwa Amorphous Whisker Super Light float rod from a very nice chap in Barnsley.
The rod has had a Fuji reel seat fitted which I’ve mixed feelings about, I could always revert it back to original state but doubt I’ll bother.
This is so strange Kev, if it had happened today I would have thought it was a prank.
I’ve had a number of “wanted” ads on various Facebook groups for a few months now, plenty of time wasters, some trying to sell me a something akin to a broomstick handle, I had given up any hope of a genuine enquiry.
Then out of the blue a couple of days ago I had not one but two offers, both guys same Christian name, both from Barnsley and both offering the exact rod with modified reel seat, both asking a similar amount of money too, you couldn’t make it up!
One of the guys has said he won’t sell before it’s safe to do so as he is in total lockdown, so there’s one still out there for anyone interested!
I’ve had these photos from the seller I’m buying from.
So, Browning are introducing a new Sphere Silverlite Whip at the end of May, just in time for the new river season. ******!
To compete with top range Daiwa whip ?
Any idea on price,?
Where can you buy spare landing net mesh, I have a number of chewed nets that I want to renew. I can find plenty of 42" carp size net mesh on line but none for smaller 18" to 24" oval nets.
