Have you been watching the latest series of Gone Fishing with Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer?
We certainly have and are excited to see our brand new TT Classic+ rods being used on this series! Paul and Bob were keen to try these out, even though there was no financial interest. If you look closely at episodes one and four, you will see our rods being used by Paul and Bob, whilst fishing for chubb on the River Avon and The Wye, doing some touch ledgering/free lining using bread flake and they successfully catch a couple of fish! In episode four they head to Sutton Lake in Shropshire to fish for crucian carp. Bob uses our rods in this episode, and although Paul is the first to catch a crucian carp, Bob soon catches his own!
If you are interested in finding out more about the range of rods created by us, Thomas Turner, which are based on the popular Hardy Marksman range, please go to the dedicated website https://www.ttclassicplus.com/
You can read the story behind the development of the rods, and the specification for each of the rods in the range; 13ft, 14ft float, 12ft quivertip, 10ft bomb and 11ft 1lb test curve Avon.

Have you seen the new book, written by Paul Whitehouse and our good friend John Bailey? ‘How we fish – The Love, Life and Joy of the Riverbank’ is a book for all who love fishing. Re-living their fishing history, talking of their fishing trips of the past and celebrating the ‘rich tapestry that is fishing’. Go and grab your copy now and sit down with a cuppa, perhaps by the riverbank, whilst waiting for that elusive ‘bite’ and have a read.
