Thanks for the film, lots of helpful tips. Your fishing films have got me back into fishing after a long absence. Really like your shop as well. I remember visiting an angling shop there 50 years ago with my brother and father...don't think you were behind the counter then😂
🤣 No, despite what I feel, that out dates me a bit! I'm glad you like the videos, and especially pleased to hear they've encouraged you to wet a line again. That makes it all worth while for me, so thank you for sharing.
That one trip sums up everything I enjoy about fishing. Catching a couple of nice Rays, the view sunset being outdoors but most importantly the company of friends.
Had a great laugh when you produced your FT1 Tom only thing your about a month early , April 1st should have been it’s launch date.😊.Great videos by the way.😊
If you say it i worship your opion, I would love a rod you designed, for my husband who is addicted to your channel 😂😂, bagnell bars should be in every shop , he loved the small tripod and bait table , please keep the videos coming 😊
Thank you 😁 I'm working on something to get Bagnall Bars available to all shops. We already send them all around the globe, from America to New Zealand via South Africa! Not sure about the rod though, that could do with a bit more work!
Plenty fish plenty fun - thats what its all about - I used to fish the south coast a lot in the 70s and early eighties until moving to Australia with the family. Did a lot of beach comps as a junior angler with the Bournemouth & district sea angler association. Im really enjoying these vids and the enjoyment of reminiscing is blowing my mind with all these locations 🤪😵💫😎 Please keep 'em cominn 🤩 Kind regards Alex. P.S the fishing does seem so much better now over there.
Hi Alex, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Yes, I believe the fishing has been better over the last few years than it ever has in my lifetime. Which is a wonderful thing to be able to say.
Love the humour and banter between you all - and some fish too. I am looking to get a mortgage out so I can buy one of your FT1 rods = looks the business!!
Good bunch of lads Tom and nice to see they had some lovely fish and the guy to come down from up north and catch a ray that was nice to see 🐟 But can I think about the new rod for a little while as I am waiting on more reviews. 😂😂🐟
Hi tom cracking video hope to get down southbourne next week myself.well impressed with the new ft rod will they be on sale in the shop😂😂😂so easy to pack away when they bend in half like that all joking aside great video you make it look easy look forward to next video stay safe & tight lines
Will the FT1 make an appearance in the shop rod rack ? Part rod / part water diviner and it appeared to be doing the 2nd bit quite well.. Another brilliantly successful video , thank you 👍
Hi mate. There's lots of good quality monos on the market these days, but I tend to flick between the Tronixpro Blaze (0.25), Fox Exocet Orange (0.26) or the Asso Tapered Line (0.26). I think anything around 0.25 to 0.28 is perfect for nearly all open beach work, apart from the snaggiest of terrains. I've used it everywhere from Kent to the Bristol Channel. It offers the perfect balance of thin enough to cast a good distance, but thick enough to land anything we're likely to catch. I can hand on heart say I've never been snapped up by a fish. I will happily drop down to 0.20 mainline when fishing for plaice, especially if distance is important, like at Chesil for example. A lot of my summer light fishing is done with 0.20 too.

Absolutely that Paul. Couldn't have put it better myself.

🤣 Damn, I can't believe I didn't think of that!
Great video as always mate and well done everyone on the fish 🎣👍
Thanks Ian.

Not sure about the rod though, that could do with a bit more work!
Pre-bent rod, genius!! 🤣🤣
I've been contacted by most of the major rod manufacturers trying to buy my idea.
Love the FT1 Tom. Brilliant idea to incorporate a built-in swingtip.
Genius, I'd say. Not anyone can create a unique fishing rod, you know.

Enjoyable Tom, was so gonna buy the prototype until it snapped!!
I'll put you down for a MK2

🤣🤣 money well spent mate, trust me.

Hey matey. Great to see you yesterday. Thanks for watching. I'll put your name down for an FT2 then shall I?
Tops again....
Matt.
Thanks mate

Thanks matey.

Thanks mate.
Yes, the easy to store function is yet another feature of the FT1 that is sure to make it a success!
Best of luck when you get out mate.
Fantastic entertainment Tom, I think the prototype needs some more work though 😂😂🐟🎣
In any particular areas? Seemed pretty close to me.
@@FishyTom 😂😂😂🤦♂️🐟🎣
Tb1 love it 😂😂😂😂
I'll put your name on one when the first batch arrives.
@@FishyTomI can see it now the 'browners tb1' 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 We could do a bespoke version just for you mate.
Will the FT1 make an appearance in the shop rod rack ? Part rod / part water diviner and it appeared to be doing the 2nd bit quite well..
Another brilliantly successful video , thank you 👍
Coming to a tackle shop near you soon. I like the diviner addition. That'll add yet more value. Thank you.
Absolute classic laugh im after a new lure rod is there a ft1 mk2 lure rod that is set up for cotton reel fishing 😂😂😂
Not a problem at all, matey. I happen to have a surplus of cocktail sticks. I'll get myself in the workshop. Leave it with me.
Hello tom love the videos does the FT 1 stand for Fairly Tragic 1 first edition
🤣🤣 It does now!
That wasn’t a bad session.
I love that folding rod you built, I’ll have to get myself an FT1 😂
Do Veret still make the Stellanera?
It was a fun session. Shame about the prototype. 🤣
I've actually been trying to convince Veret to bring the Stella back. It was such a popular rod.
Tom what line do you use and in what diameter for conditions and species
Hi mate. There's lots of good quality monos on the market these days, but I tend to flick between the Tronixpro Blaze (0.25), Fox Exocet Orange (0.26) or the Asso Tapered Line (0.26).

Hi Tom
Can I cancel my Veret and put a FT 1 on order please.
Thanks Mate
Already done, mate.
How much are your home made rods? I would like to buy one for my granddaughter who is 10 . Thank you .
They're probably a bit too powerful for a 10 year old. Sorry.
