Today I had a 20lb+ carp leap repeatedly over my cunningly presented bait. You would've thought that the exercise would make it peckish. So I stayed an extra hour, it didn't.
Anyway, just got home to find that it's New Rod Day. My unsuccessful quest for a 2lb roach demanded a rod with a reel seat which (unlike my 20 year old match rod) doesn't eject the reel when most awkward. The latest carbon whizzbang from Mr Maver has arrived, apparently it offers reserves of power in the butt. Now, I've been a cyclist all my life, if it offered biceps of steel or a 6 pack I would be delighted, I don't need a more powerful butt. I am slightly concerned that this rod is the fishing equivalent of Pinarello and full Skyneos kit wankerdom. Still, at least I have an excuse to go fishing tomorrow....
Useful fishing tip of the day: don't fart in a one piece waterproof suit.
