Description

Up for very reluctant sale is a bundle that will make your mates very envious of you... I have 3 x Daiwa Basia DF 12ft 3.25lb Rods in EXCELLENT condition, having been used no more than 8 times. Anyone familiar with Daiwa Infinity Magnum Taper rods will know how good they are, the Basia goes one step further with its X45 carbon wrap making the rod even slimmer and lighter. 3.25lb is a great test curve as a general all rounder, good for close range but equally at home chucking 4 oz leads for distance. 50mm Fuji ringing to 16mm tip, these rods are the best of the best from Daiwa.

The rods are £500 new so you can be assured of quality, UK produced from start to finish with top notch carbons.  Using the Basia rods presented a problem...it made my marker rod feel like a lead pipe by comparison, due to them being incredibly light. Paired up with a Basia reel or Tech Mag, you genuinely hardly notice you're holding it. So I ended up buying a fourth Basia Rod for a marker rod, in 3.75lb t/c. Its a perfect tool for marker work, so light when plumbing about. An added bonus is you can use it alongside the 3.25's to fish with if you need to fish at 160+ yards with a 5oz lead, and the rods look identical so no mismatch on the pod/buzzer bars. All rings are identical in spacing/size.

Despite being 3.75lb, its surprisingly nice in the tip but you can feel features with it perfectly. Not many people will have such a luxurious marker rod!  Naturally, it would be daft to have a spod rod that didn't compliment the Basias, and the Longbow DF Spod and Marker 12ft 4.25lb does this with ease. Its super light and weighs around 13oz, but has awesome power. I use a large Spomb with one and it copes with ease. 50mm ringing again for frap reduction. These are designed for marker and spod work, although I found it perfect for spodding, the spod version being a bit too stiff.

The Longbow DF will allow you to bait up for ages without feeling worn out due to its lightness and great action. These are over £220 new and as with the Basias, is in great condition with very little use. So to recap, there is one hell of a rod collection there for the serious angler who wants a set of genuinely decent uk built rods which not only look the nuts, but perform outstandingly.

Honestly, you will notice the weight, or lack of, immediately when picking one up. And fishing with them is really eye opening.  I'm wanting to sell as a bundle, so not really keen on splitting up. However I MAY consider selling the 3.75 and the Longbow DF together separately if the offer is good enough.  Manchester based and unfortunately I'm not willing to post, I just don't trust the couriers...so collection only.  Genuine reason for sale, I simply do not use them enough to warrant keeping them. I have a set of Nash Scopes and they get more use due to my local venues being small and overgrown, so my ten footers are more suited.

Therefore its come to the point where I can't keep the Basias any longer as they get used once every three months or so!  Serious enquiries only please. I'm not interested in swapping for some Greys rods, or reels, a quad bike or a puppy. I will gladly answer any questions regarding the rods capabilities or specs. You can see more here about them... http://www.daiwasports.co.uk/product/basia-df-carp email me if you're genuinely interested and I'll get back to you... mattchew34@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks for looking

PAYING VIA PAYPAL GIFT....

Most of you know this but for those who are unsure...

If you pay by gift and there is a problem with the sale you will stuggle to get your money back.

If you do decide to gift money at the very least speak to the seller and obtain as many details as you can. If you haven't dealt with that person before I would still recommend that you don’t gift but pay as goods. The commission is 4%, at least you have piece of mind.

If the sellers telephone number is unobtainable or the person who picks the phone up doesn’t know what your talking about then you must start thinking the deal maybe dodgy.

If your still not sure about the user message or ring me ..... Alan ... on 07961 575 927.

Be Careful

Tackle-Trader is like any other classified/auction type platform whether its Loot, Adtrader, a fishing forum or even Ebay there are people out there looking to fleece you. You don't need me to tell you that.

If an item seems cheap, at the very least and before you commit to sending money you must ideally talk to the seller first to establish who they are and where they live.

We all love a bargain and there are genuine bargains to be had, just be careful. I have said before and we all know.... " If it seems to good to be true it probably is" so at the very least contact the seller in person and don't just rely on messages via the site.

I'm not against gift payments through paypal as I prefer it myself, however, if you are going to gift money only do it if you know the person and again at the very least have all there details, full name address home telephone number. If there is a problem its unlikely that you will get your money back without having to get the police involved or taking a civil action against the other party. The same applies to a bank transfer, you need all the persons details you can get. I CAN'T give out details unless its for the police because of the data protection act, so you need to obtain all the relevent information.

PLEASE....

If any of you see any ad on here or receive any message that you think maybe a bit dodgey contact me. I will have a look at the user and check his details. I'm also willing to tell anybody the history of any user. The site is setup now so you can see how long a user has been a member and how many posts he has made. You can also view all his older posts regardless of thier status, ie sold, closed etc. Just click on there username to view these details.

If your'e still not sure about someone just contact me and I'll tell you thier history..

I will not give out any personal details (Data protection act) so please do not ask me.

IF YOU SEE ANYTHING ON HERE THAT YOU THINK IS NOT RIGHT THEN PLEASE RING ME AND I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT IT.... ALAN.....07961 575 927

Answering messages

Had a few members mention to me about users sending messages and not getting ant response from the recipient. I appreciate that sometimes some of us are very busy people. There is no rule that you have to respond to messages but please just bear in mind that someone has taken the trouble to message you so a response would be nice even if its a very short response like "No thanks" or "Not interested".

Sold Items

When items are sold can users either put sold on the ad or close the ad save people trying to buy something that's already gone. Thanks.

Hopefully the site will continue to grow as it has done for the last 20+ years. I have always considered that the Tackle-Trader community is very tight, long may that continue.

As always thanks for your support.
