If only it were simple, the search bar hasn't been working on my phone, it shows no results regardless of what i type...

Thanks, I'm unsure where to get black and white jasper from, I usually use pipers silk but they only seem to stock solid colours

I shall try it on the PC next time

Thanks Peter, looks good enough to me, i believe its what they whip fly rods with over the ponds so it'll work for me.

Yes, you've helped a couple of times today so the on me, I'll do the guides, you can do the intermediates

Mine has green and black whipping.

I have 3 de luxe models and they are all green/red jasper. My non de luxe Octofloat is whipped in dk red.

Mine is green/red too and doesn't have the reinforced ferrules? In fact I'm sure it was only the Rover version that had them.

This has gotten interesting lol
