[Mark]

Thanks chaps.

Well done Steve - a good find sir! I've been tripping over (bad) 12 footers but couldn't lay my hands on an 11ft for love nor money!

Thanks for looking anyway Jim.

Well done Mark, a lovely rod and with some magic from Paul it will be very special indeed

[AshbyCut]

Excellent news Mark, Sir.

Nice one Mark...

[GazTheAngler]

Glad you got one Mark.

With a 12 footer and a test in my possesion i think perhaps I need to go for a lighter cane rod next.

[Chubman]

hi mark, i was just about to let you know ive a 11ft delux ive restored for sale but i see in your haste you have allready found one, mine is ready to fish with, tight lines geoff.

What sort of fish will the floatcaster deluxe handle. The lake I fish regularly has many carp up to 10lb but the smaller ones fight the hardest. It also holds bream and tench close in. If I fish for the bream and tench and manage to hook one of the bigger carp (I've been told they go to 16lb though 7-10 is the average) would I land those safely if played cautiously?

I think, Matt, that you could spend forever worrying about things like this. I fish a lake for tench with mine and there are carp to over 20lb in there. Wouldn't want to put my floatcaster through that. But that's why I use a 4lb hook link. You cannot limit yourself to using the rod only in waters that contain just small fish. There aren't enough of them that are carp free for that!
