Anyfish Anywhere Complete Rod Range Rundown with Julian Shambrook

[@zzest1114]

Got to say such a well produced video that actually explains an entire rod range, other companies take note

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Thank you for the great feedback! 👍

[@gmy7813]

Probably my favourite rods the 4&Bait mk2 use a pair of 13ft fixed spool versions along with a pair of 11ft AFAW Estuary rods for floundering.

[@CoastlineFishing]

Great summary there from Julian explianing the rods and a well put together video. I couldn't quite stretch to a new one this season but picking up a good condition second hand 6&bait off a friend soon. Looking forward to putting it through its paces this winter season. Hopefully i can haul some nice big cod in!

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Thanks for the feedback and fingers crossed the 6&bait tames some big cod for you! 😁

[@nicksparkes1378]

I got the big beach remastered built by dai and its a lovely bit of kit for fishing here in Iceland

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Hard to get a better build too, Dai has been doing some lovely work.

[@nicksparkes1378]

@@HookpointFishingMagazine yes he did a brilliant job on the rod

[@StarfishSeaFishing]

top fella Julian the man works very hard and sells very good rods

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

He sure works hard to bring us great gear.

[@the_sandancer]

Cracking video and really informative talk from Julian. Got my GBFS Pro MKII thanks to his advice, and never been happier to move away from another brand that had lesser customer service. Back to the proper fishing rods with AFAW. Again great video!

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Thanks for the feedback! Great to hear you enjoyed the video and are also enjoying your afaw rod!

[@alanturnbull9771]

Well that was good, answered a few questions there. Covered it all.

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Great to hear you enjoyed the video! I think Jules did a fantastic job clarifying the ranges 👍

[@One.man.one.leg.casting]

Good insight to the range

[@flamintasty]

I’ve got a lot of AFAW rods, but not as many as I want. I’ve even got some of his prototypes. Jules actually talked me out of buying some of his rods. He said I didn’t need them cos I have such and such rods already. How many other rod makers would do that? Yeah they’d just take your money. I’ve got a lot of respect for Jules, he won’t sell you what you don’t need. Which is good for the customers, but not so good for him. That’s proper customer service, more companies should operate like that.

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Great stuff and a fine example of top customer service from AFAW! 👍

[@bigt7559]

Great range of rods AFAW make!..i still use the mk1 big beach from time to time...but just invested in a pair of rock remastered blanks👍 just need to put some rings on them 😂

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

I’ve never had a go on a tournament rock myself but I’ve never heard anybody say a bad thing about them! I would get some rings on those bad boys asap 😄

[@coops9871]

Just bought the blue range 15ft multiplier rod....feels great in the hands but the sliding reel seat is a bit sloppy when you tighten it

[@Arfabiscuit]

I have had a four and six n bait since they came out . And those were the last two rods i bought why change what works perfectly .

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

The &Bait range are superb rods for sure! I expect there are many anglers out there who find everything they need in that range 👍

[@2534will]

I do like the reviews but i wish afaw would do what century used to do with gary. A video of them casting and under compression .

[@markmoorman]

Ya know... I don't actually own any of these rods but I often recommend them to people when they're asking about rods & This very informative video will help massively with that. lol

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Cheers Mark!

[@ianmunro3770]

Hi there. I’ve bought the mk2 6& bait multiplier the spigot is really really stiff and tricky to get it in . Before I actually start using it on the base on the diamond pattern is it very hard wearing as not sure of the longevity of the wrap . Must admit it does look really nice though

[@deano6874]

Great video, thanks! Just wondering, Where are they made?

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Hi Dean, that would be a question to ask anyfish themselves - their contact details are in the description 👍

[@PaulRea-w3c]

Hi there, I found your video most intriguing. I am a disabled Angela and in a wheelchair with the limited pallet. I fish anywhere I can get her used to fish many many years ago and my equipment it’s okay, but is possibly 40 years old, my formula, T with a foot tip is the route I always go to, but he’s a bit heavy and hard to cost these days. I need something which is suitable for myself , To fish peers any feature can get home for Fishing from very hard, standing casting distance and casting close I have you shorten Road, which is I suppose easier for balance but then you are limited on how far you can go, and if you have a surf running you can’t get your tips over it. can you help ???

[@darreneastwell3318]

Been looking at getting the 15ft fixed spool blue range...for chesil and South Coast. Would this be suitable? Want something with bit stiffer tip for tides. Currently using penn tidal 100 to 250 Gm. But really like look of afaw rods. And I've literally not seen a single bad review about the afaw range of rods. Any help greatly appreciated 🙏 🙂

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Best bet is to give them a ring! They are so approachable. Check the video description for their contact details.

[@darreneastwell3318]

OK thanks, will do .

[@That_sam_i_am]

Love my 4 and 6 + rods…did think about upgrading to something in the red range, what would Julian recommend for clean shingle down south?

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Hi Sam! There are contact details for the team at anyfish in the video description 👍

[@flamintasty]

Probably the Tournament Match Remastered, if you didn’t want to go up to the Pro range. I’ve got a pair of the TMR built for fixed spool. I’m also on the South Coast, and the TMR is the one Jules recommended to me, cos he knows where I’ll be using them.

[@jimmyoconnell6167]

I fancy a pair of bass rods what rings are on these rods julian ?

[@williamsmith2465]

Very informative. Cheers

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Thanks William, glad you enjoyed it!

[@stuandkids]

I've got a 6&bait 14' mk2 multiplier...just bought another but it's a Mk1 what's the difference anyone know?

[@Fishermanstails]

Any suggestions on what would be best to use in most of south wales?

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

That’s definitely a question for the team at anyfish mate! Give them a ring, send them an email or contact them via Facebook or instagram and they will point you in the right direction. All the links are in the video description 👍

[@flamintasty]

@@HookpointFishingMagazineFailing that, speak to Dai Lewellyn at Angling Ambition. He’s in South Wales and he’s also an Anyfish Anywhere ambassador/rod builder. If you get in touch with Dai, you can try some AFAW rods before you buy.

[@M4TTY132]

Great rods 🎣👍

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Definitely! Do you have a particular favourite from the range?

[@M4TTY132]

@@HookpointFishingMagazine Mine is the big beach remastered 😁

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Cool, I haven’t actually had a go with one of those. I’ll have to give one a try when I get a chance. I had one of the 13’ Beach rods from the original red range - that was a super rod! Loved the bigger leads and baits that one 😄 Ben

[@Wakluuu]

can I use spinning reel on my tournament match mk2???

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

A fixed spool? How has your TM MK2 been rung? For FS or multi? It's not that you absolutely can't switch reels on either, but it won't be optimum. The wider line wraps coming off of a fixed spool could also cause a ring wrap on a multi rung rod.

[@Be-lucky-my-friend]

Grand prix,,,, shoulder ripper by the sound of it 😮

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Like Jules says though, it’s a rod that’s designed to conquer huge fish in harsh conditions. Somebody I know bought a couple for fishing in fuerteventura and said they were brilliant for fighting the big stingers!

[@harwoodblades3633]

Only used one of your rods pal.. anyfish anywhere estuary.. nice light rod but the tip is sh**t for maccy.. can't feel them even if there's à few on 🤔need to soften the last two foot up👏👏all the best Lincoln 👍

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Hi Lincoln, is it the 12 foot or the 11 foot Estuary rod you used? I had the 12 foot for a few years and it’s more of a firmer tip, through action rod which might not be everybody’s cup of tea for lighter fishing. I’ve yet to confirm this myself but the 11 foot Estuary is supposed to have a more medium action with a softer tip - a better fit for people wanting or expecting that kind of profile. Cheers, Ben

[@harwoodblades3633]

@@HookpointFishingMagazine I use the 11 ft one and have caught hounds, rays and all kinds on it but get a few Macc and you can't feel them taking the hook.. lovely rod but it's just a weird sensation..a few lads have come to the same conclusion 👍

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Oh right! Is it the mark 1 or mark 2 you have?

[@harwoodblades3633]

@@HookpointFishingMagazineit's the mark 2 pal 👍

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Oh right, like I say, I haven’t tried that one yet 👍

[@johnmichael1220]

I'd be very interested in your rods but the only thing that puts me off is 820g on the blank on the 6 and bait. If you was to release blanks between 3 and 400grams I would absolutely be able to purchase I'd rather not go fishing to walk away hurting like you said in your speech fella. @anyfishanywhere.

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Totally get where you are coming from there in a world of modern very lightweight rods, especially in the 3 piece world. That being said, where the weight is in the blank makes a massive difference - I don't personally feel the weight in the 6 & bait, as it feels well balanced. I really do feel it when all the weight is in 2-3ft of glass in a tip. No mans perfect rod is perfect for another though - best to try a few and find what is right for you.

[@patrickstuart8211]

6 and baits the classic Emperor’s clothes rod

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Hi Patrick, I’m not sure what you mean - do you mean that the 6&bait is as much as most people need?

[@anthonyhemmings1247]

great range of rods something for every one, but jules my friend get some tan on them legs next time lol

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

Lol! I think with the weather we’ve had this summer though you can excuse a little pastiness on the legs 😆

[@Slunchy25]

I just bought a pair of match pro mk2's and I'm very happy with them to say the least.

[@HookpointFishingMagazine]

I had a few casts with the new match pro after we filmed this, hell of a rod! I would certainly be a happy man if I was fishing with them 😄 Ben
