Noreaster any one rememnber the lenght of the two parts

[BuffaloBill]

Hi
This might sound silly but i bought a noreaster a couple months back, but i have not been able to use it yet to much traveling with work, but i want to try and buy a decent rod holdall and i cant for the life of me remember how long the two sections of the rod are, anyone help me with this, plus where to find a reasonable rod holdall this size whatever it is

cheers

Just measured mine, the tip section is just under 92\" and the butt section is 81\". Hope this helps.

if its the 14ft version ill take a stab at 7ft each hi and welcome

 

[BuffaloBill]

Thanks great info i feel a bit of a fool, but that is great so i need at least 8ft rod hall.

Again thanks

Don\'t be daft Bill, we all ask questions we think might be seen as silly (some of us never stop!) That\'s the great thing about this site, nobody ignores daft questions, they just take the p*ss out of them

I walk past mine every day and I didn\'t know what length the sections were, so I must be daft as well mate

 

[BuffaloBill]

Great stuff i am in the right place then

(some of us never stop!)

i always ask twice in case i missed it the first time

rob keeps me on my toes though

I bought this beast and i have not used it yet but cant wait, hope it is a little forgiving, 14ft is a bit long, but it does look the buisness

if your casting with a 12ft the extra length takes some getting used to ,ive just bought a 13`6\" and me arms ached for a day and a half afterwards ,still according to Feb issue of SA big rods catch fish so fingers crossed..let us know how you get on

 

[BuffaloBill]

Yup no problem, looking forward to having a bash at it, good old over the head thump should do it, probably at night so no one will see me fall on my a**e, hahaha, seriously though a bit of practice, its all rocky rough ground and kelp everywhere, where i am so i bought it for that, good price as well.

Bri, will lend you my 14\' DC8 mate. Puts aches on yer aches lol.

Jim.

You gota laugh, using a 12ft for years was bad enough, but you gota try it, i bought a nice 13ft Greys Apollo recently as well so it should be fun maybe i should sell tickets to the great day when bill goes for it on the beach.

 

[bribones]

no ta jim lol it wouldnt fit in the car and besides it would be 11`6\" when you got it back ,same rod but with a stiffer tip lol

 

[willywetegg]

Bill by the time you have had half a dozen casts it will feel like you have been using it for ever mate. Unless you don\'t like it then it will feel like you have been using it for only half a dozen casts lol.

Jim.

 

[BuffaloBill]

LOL very good, it has been a while but i am really looking forward to it and for the first time in my life got some decent kit to do it with, now hopefully some time off before the cod decide to leave.

 

[bribones]

now hopefully some time off before the cod decide to leave.

you mean theyve arrived ?

 

[BuffaloBill]

I hope so didnt buy all this stuff for nuffin, if i manage to get in amongst the local lads i will ask what is happening and let you boys know, i was hoping to get to the match in Arbroath on the 6th but i dont think i will make it.
