none of your business gordon!
Hall it is, as Gauntlett always starts his sentences using a capital letter.

a species that fights like a wet blanket and very rarely exceeds 4lb (perch).
Do you dip your hooks in Librium?
I've always found perch to be good fighters on light-ish tackle.
Not only do they fight well on light tackle but even my local farm ponds have perch to 4lb.

Have you ever used a GTI SU Colin?
It appears to me that this thread, and a lot of the posts on it, are the result of long standing arguments and upsets from other sites.
Why on earth these are being aired here on FishingMagic I haven't a clue!
This thread will be closed or deleted if it descends into posts that contrave the Rules and/ot the T&C's for FM.
Colin, you appear to have the ability to start a row in a dark room on your own.

but I do struggle to understand how one rod can offer both a 0.75lb and a 1.75lb action????
In the workshop the rod builder pulled it to 7lb on a spring balance, I thought it might break, yet he tells me he has pulled it through to 15lb on a previous occasion.
Now I have no idea what the test curve of that rod is, but it does do those jobs!
Fella's ....please ...no more. I'm losing the will to live!
Any more and I'll be forced to lock.

I'm not sure how relevant test curves are!
I used that rod to catch small silvers and net chub/roach, never bumped one, size 16 and 2lb hooklength. I've not caught a lump on it yet, but a mate caught a 10lb + float fished carp on his with 6 or 8lb line straight through, he never felt he was out of control.

Isn't this what's called a progressive action type rod, where it gets stronger as it curves into the butt? I'm sure a mate of mine had one with a very soft top section, but kicked into considerable strength for bigger fish when playing them?
That Kev Bains confuses the hell out of me as well.
