Is it the one with Purple (ish) whipping loop?

If so I think that was from a member on here.

Great rod for chub/barbel and Carp. :wink:

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Great rod loop, sure you will enjoy it very much. :thumb:

I've had Carp to just over 18lbs on mine and also used it for small fish as well, very versatile rod indeed. :)

Well while I have used this rod to catch roach/perch so on, I wouldn’t recommend holding it all day as it can get a bit heavy, not really what you would call a trotting rod. :chuckle:

I just won a second Dorset of eBay, looks a lot different to my Dorset as I think it's a much later version but for £39 I can't grumble...unless its a dog of course! :think:
