If you could only have one rod and reel what would they be?

[Alan Taylor 3]

Grey's Prodigy Barbel 1.5 & Okuma Epix Pro EPB30.......I think...

 

[Rickrod]

I just can't make up my mind on this.......im trying

My Normark Avenger and my Abu 501.....poetry in motion.

 

[Rasmus Keis]

Only one rod....

I could never part with my 9 foot Fenwick HMG AV spinning rod, but my 6 weight CTS fly rod would surely be missed.

If I could only have one reel, I would probably buy something nicer than my current ones (except the fly reel - Vision XLA)

My Normark Titan 2000 13ft, Allcocks Match Pin

Would have to be the Harrison Avon 4 piece, together with a Shimano 3500B.

Have you the 2ft extension for the titan Ray,i have and think it isnt half the rod,handy though,but i hoped it would be better.

 

[Ray Daywalker Clarke]

Alan,

No I haven't got the extension, it's a 3 piece 13ft, never been used, I got it for £150, a month after all my gear got nicked, the following week i picked up an Allcocks match for £75 off the same guy, as mine had also been nicked.

I would like to say I would choose my ancient Hardy Carbon Match and the matching wide drum Speedia - but these wouldn't work on bigger fish. So in the death I'd instead go for an avon rod with a shimano baitrunner. Not as much fun as the lighter rod/reel but it does open the options to catching a bigger range of species.

Perish the thought Alan! My Fox rod is about 12 years old and was one of the original Fox barbel rods, made at a time when barbel rods were either 1.25lb or 1.5lb TC.

15lb line where do you think I'm fishing - the Thames?

LOL,Sean the way the Thames has fished this year line is unnessasary,as are hooks rods and reels,all you need is a chair and a bl oo dy great flask,thats my tip anyhow,does wonders for your bad back.
Nicer rods to fish with mate i must say.
