Cool ❤

Are they right handed or do they have the scallop on both sides?

I have 10ft rods & do find they’re like pokers My previous carping was 40 + years ago with lovely bendy fibreglass rods

another great video

What a lovely video, just come across your channel and have subbed, brilliant stuff, wonderful way to fish, I do alot of this style of fishing too, reminds me of when I was younger, being shown how to fish by a brilliant bloke who took me under his wing, cracking stuff, good health and safe travels, cheers craig

Its Peter Jones !! im in 🎣🎣 I'm out !!

I've had so many rods built by Mark, & if I've used other builders which I have done, I rate Mark as the finest builder in the business. And he's a decent chap too!

Really enjoyed this.

I have one of the Specialist float rods and I can happily say it’s a fantastic rod , very light and a pleasure to use , having had very big barbel from the Wye last season to over 12lbs and looking forward to using again this season can’t recommend the rod highly enough ( and say that about all my rods built by Mark - his Dark Carbon Barbel rods are something else too - soo good ! 😊) Thanks for the enjoyable film too Mark 👍

My lad can chuck 22 wraps with his 12ft 2.75. His mate who is semi pro can chuck 28 from the same rod. So which 13ft aviator should we go for. He has been fishing for years, but hasn't really done any long rang practice other than casting for fish. So there is plenty room for improvement with the right tool and some practice in field.

Very pleased with mine superb fish handling my go to rod on smaller pits when targeting large tench in very weedy areas .

This man needs to run the market standards for carp rods, imagine if they was all label in that way it would be great, walk in get the rod for the job, thats it!. Love it. Good to hear some experienced logical sense for the carp world. Cheers Mark.

Thank you...Have you tried bifocal sunglasses? Saves all the swapping around when the fishing is busy.

What about Drennan Accolytes or the Korum glide/super glide?

This Angler and Engineer agrees :) :) :)

You're twisting my melon, man! This blows my mind and does away with everything I thought I knew.. Great video Mark and thanks for going through the trouble, it's appreciated.

Hi Mark, what blanks would you recommend in 12ft for smaller Bream, tench and specimen roach? Il be using feeders of the 1.5-2oz range to get the distance I need. Thanks, Tom

Marks got to be one of the best rod builders in the game. I love my pair of custom Harrison Avon rods

enjoyed the video.

Thank you for a fantastic new way to enjoy float fishing ☺️

I still use waggles and sticks I made over forty years ago, some of the best winter nights where made up of me and my dad making floats, feeders, droppers re whipping rods, although I lost him in the late 90s every time I open a tackle box I feel close him❤️

Jusr restarting fishing after a 40 plus year break, astonished to see how big the "industry /moneymaking machine" its become re equipment, baits etc. Then I asked about rod and reel recommendations and found you. Great to find someone cutting through the bull and saying it how it is. Thank you.

Just restarted fishing and was a little bamboozled at how it's changed from 40 plus years ago. Stripping it back to basics and this video, like your others have really helped.

It's really great. I really enjoy watching your videos. My friend. Wishing you lots of health and success

What breaking strain line do you have on the light set up, I know from previous videos the heavier one is usually 10lb

More intro than talk.

Where did you go?

Great sequence of clips really enjoyable to watch, thank you

Hi Mark, what would you suggest to varnish rod blanks with ?

Hooklink is too far from the feeder.

Do you use afloat stop ?

Hi Mark, Great Film! Inspired me to get out and float fish rather than sat behind a buzzer. Ordered a float Quick question, I have seen it where a stop knot is placed on line to hold the depth, I am guessing this to allow the float to bob up and down with a bite, whereas no stop knot and a fish pulls it through when it bolts. Prefer your method but do you see indications or just a bolt?? Sorry such a basic question Cheers Graham

Hello Mark. What would the 13'6'' weight be out of interest? I fish the lift for carp (mostly doubles) and hold it all the time.

Yet there’s a shortage of water warning out for this summer…

Good luck!

What music is used in background

Its interesting that people think you are a star for revealing these things. When I was trying to tell them I was considered an idiot! Just ask Rick Johnson (now of wychwood). The truth is the same BS is pedaled by inadequately experienced so called experts and the entirety of angling (and the angling trade) just follow like sheep. Its good that you are getting a positive response to what amounts to the truth though.

Hi Mark Do test curves change in a rod with age ?

Absolutely spot on mark. I sold rods for one of the major tackle shops for many years and had to demonstrate this to people time and time again. I'd often go to extremes and compare a flimsy 9ft through action bomb rod with a 3.5lb fast action carp rod to demonstrate this point. The truth is that people (especially those who work in the trade) don't want to hear the truth about this. Even after my experiment they would revert back to their original opinion by the very next day On the bank, they scoff at the fast 2lb test rods that I use for roach, even when their 1lb through rods are pulling hooks and mine are casting much further and landing pretty much everything.

You have solved so many problems with good old fashioned common sense. Thank you as I might try this one.

I’m with you the simpler the better as with those Drennan floats also why further complicate life,wouldn’t it be great if someone made river floats interchangeable like the Drennan ones where you leave the shot on 🙏🏾

Hi Mate, any chance you could say where i can get those little storage rig bags that you showed at the beginning of video, thanks

Hi Mark, can you tell me what price for the 11ft multi rod, it looks perfect for chub!! 😊

Excellent Mark, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mark, really enjoyed that

👍

Thanks mark. What blender you using ?

Nice. Where did you get your grey tackle box buddy

That looks a nice rod. Is 1.5 tc best for waggler please ?

Lovely looking rods the dark carbon
