Today Peter, we’re going to fish in the Nottingham style.
‘Is that anything like the Gangnam style Mr Crabtree?’
‘No Peter, it’s nothing like that. The Craftversa is my favourite rod for long trotting. Not whippy exactly, but beautiful, lovely.’
The Craftversa.
Here’s a Craftversa I made in 1993. There’s Bernard Venables, signing it. I made nine. This one is available.
So many barbel rods, so few barbel.
Not to worry. The MK I Chris Yates Barbus Maximus is a superb rod for chub, perch, tench and asps.
We have a leash of exceptional Barbus Maximus rods in stock. Yes, three of the beauties Peter.
An extra special Chris Yates Merlin.
It’s a Merlin with a swelled butt (that’s not a wizard who’s had cosmetic surgery) and we made only two with this feature.
2026 has got off to a frisky start hasn’t it. May as well go fishing with a fine split cane rod and forget about all the nonsense for a few hours.
With best wishes for the New Year from Edward Barder & Colin Whitehouse
