Default Jockscott no more

Just a quick post to advise of my user name change! ive decided to change my name from Jockscott to XL50. Purely as I love my Bloke XL50 rods to bits.

i have just had a bloke rod made for me xl50 10' #8 with a few modifications to suit my fishing.

may i say without doubt this is the best rod i have ever used and i have owned some rods that are over £800 and they don't compare, i went out for 6hrs tonight and can hardly tell i had a rod in my hand for that time and every cast was a full line. This rod will be getting paired up very shortly.

Especially the pink one and I don't claim it's the wife's.
Mick won't give you a discount either.

Great rods for the money.

Not surprised at all John, the way you cast it last week was a joy to watch.
Just don't go too far and have a tattoo done, that's pushing it.
