Great tip, Thanks.

Can I cast a 2.5 oz feeder on a 2 oz quiver tip

The black eight elastic is brilliant too.

So the higher oz is the stiffer tip ?

Needed to talk about type of float and shotting pattern !

Thanks for sharing. I’m glad your hooktier looks like mine (a bit rusty) but still works fine! 😊

Haven't been able to Buy the size I want in the silk shock fluoro for about 9 months now. No stock anywhere.....?

you need to see how pole fishing is done in Korea. Check how we do it and let me know what you think. kzbin.infoqnSllaAggZg?feature=share

Worse customer service ever been waiting for tips for one of there rods since october would spend any more money on any of there products SHOCKING

Great tips. Nice to see a top angler using a matchman hook tyer. I note that when you trim the line off the hook and loop you appear to let the tag end drop to the floor - I suppose that a short length of tag end won't necessarily harm wildlife - but personally I always try to recover any line that needs discarding.

Would these rods be capable of handling a 20lb carp ?

Nice video. Don't you prestretch your elastic?

Great video helps me a lot Thanks Nick

Are those the drennan swivel beads?

What elastic is that blue stuff ..?

Well explained I only buy shimano gear I'm nearly 50 and I've been buying shimano all my fishing life because it's pure quality, daiwa aswell are quality but shimano always wins for me, I know people will read this and say daiwa all the way but I think once you've fished with a certain brand if it works well for you it tends to stay with you, your best mate might love daiwa but you love shimano it's a good bit of banter who's better daiwa or shimano.??, 👍

Why no comments about this pole

Good video ..well executed..😊

Proper test of a pole that. Those match kits must be strong for that probably get a 13-14s in them easy. Looks a lovely pole I want one.😢

Where can we buy the Mark Harris floats Nick ? thanks

Such a Chad Nick you really are lol. Great Vid.

Really admire your fishing ability but your barmy fishing this weather in crocs 😁

Good video especially info about holding your rod slightly further forward if you want to fish just past your mark .

that first fish you show us has been battered :(

Got shimano speed master rods used for 10 plus years still like new quality product will always buy shimano

Hello, for the 13ft 100gr rod, which reel would you recommend, Ultegra 5500 ci4+ or the Aero XR 5000 ?

You need to live in Soith Africa it's even worse, no spare parts at dealers. Shimano is loosing serious against other competitors, as iam a Shimano supporter but Diawa is really showing them who is who .

Why don't Shimano provide spares for there equipment through their dealers ?

Just shows how easy those those overstocky carp are to catch! 👍👌

Hello. They are available in Poland. I don't know them yet, for now I fish with three X7 models, which I consider to be the best for classic feeder fishing. The new models look promising, but the price is still very high. It's good that the guides were enlarged and the two-component structure was retained. Greetings, colleagues.😃👍👋

Can never get hold of it. Been trying for months !!

Wow

How do you decide what breaking strenght line to use for the shock leader???

Nice one Nick

Great video thanks Do you have a video on underarm casting with the X5?

Disappointed to see the tag end of the line that was cut was just thrown down. That didn’t go on the tray or put away carefully.

Have you not picked up the map 1001 pole or the air z pro mr speed sure your pole is not that stiff lol😂😂😂😂😂??

Too bad Shimano Europe has an overall bad policy when it comes to the customer support, extremely bad when it comes to warranty and a terrible pricing policy for the spare parts, that is when you offer spare parts, which I have to say, it is very rare. Thank God the reels are still decent, as for the rods....never again.

I can remember back in the day, I'd say around the mid/late 90s, me and my mate used to go to woodlands in Thirsk, we'd go after work for a short session, we'd set up on a peg each with an empty platform in the middle, once we were ready one or both of us would go to the spare platform in the middle, walk about, stamp on the platform and drop feed in the edge generally dead maggots and groundbait, by the time we got sat on our box's the fish were already on the bait.

Don’t you mean catch the angler’s not the fish it don’t matter what rod you use. You still catch on anything!!

Is the pole true 13 meters? Or is it like 12.2m and reached by adding an extension?

I'm going to buck the trend now. Nearly 7 minutes you "played" (you just hung on) that fish for, on proper running line tackle, that fish would have been in the net in a minute or so. If it didn't go in your keepnet I wouldn't be surprised if that fish went belly up soon after release.

I hope those barbel didn't end up in that keepnet..

I've stopped fishing now due to declining ill health, but go back some 20+ years and I fished the Warwickshire Avon for barbel. I used a 50p sized lollipop float but I had a medium feeder packed with chopped dendrobaenas and hemp and below that was laid some 18 to 24 inches of line on the bed of the river. I used a whole dendra but cut into two as bait. Took about 20 mins for the first barbel to show and then had 6 by the time I packed up. Unfortunately their size was nothing to write home about. Between 4lb 8oz and 6lb. But an enjoyable summers afternoon. And what about the fight. *_WOW!_* The weekend before I'd been to Clattercote and bagged up on double figure carp. Largest a tad over 15lb. But these _"little river torpedos!"_ They fought harder.

Thanks :)
