i’d love an original xkrs – but up to now have been content with my 1995 vintage Dave Harrell era MAP concept match which was built on the garbo power maxim mandrel.
It takes half lengths of brown hydro and does the dragging from reeds up to a point.
But at dreaded Gunville the carp from around 8/9lb to an equal amount of 20lb plus fish ‘live’ on a shelf under old trees and bushes that go out about 3m.
Managed to acquire an old ‘sunridge’ vintage fibre class 7m.
bushing thecut back no. 3( the no 1 was a solid flick tip in those days) with a 6mm bush for double 14lb powergum – you only need 2 or 3 of the smaller or 1 of the older of these fish to win.
Before i’ve fished past the shelf and dragged bait up a foot (it drops sunndenly to about 14-15′.
With this kit – plan was to fish o.25 powerline, on 8′ deep shelf next to branches and roots…. this season they made it ‘silvers’ only’ – so still waiting to try my ‘new’ margin contraption.
