Anyfish Anywhere Complete Rod Range Rundown with Julian Shambrook

Күн бұрын

Anyfish anywhere (AFAW) burst onto the British beach fishing scene nearly 20 years ago with their novel approach to rod design and marketing their products. While other manufacturers at the time typically named their rods with a combination of numbers and letters, AFAW rods were named after the environments they were designed to fish, making it easy for anglers to pick the right rod for their fishing.
Approachability has been an anyfish anywhere hallmark from day one and, with this in mind, AFAW boss Julian Shambrook takes you on this guided tour through the complete current range of rods. As Jules says, the most important thing is finding the rod that suits you and your fishing best, whether that is found in the general purpose, user-friendly '&Bait' range; the more specialised 'Pro' range, or the 'Remastered' blanks.
So, if you're thinking about purchasing a new rod, are particularly curious about one (or several) of the rods anyfish anywhere make, or if you're just interested in what the company's rods are all about, this is the video for you!

Cracking video and really informative talk from Julian. Got my GBFS Pro MKII thanks to his advice, and never been happier to move away from another brand that had lesser customer service. Back to the proper fishing rods with AFAW. Again great video!

Great summary there from Julian explianing the rods and a well put together video. I couldn't quite stretch to a new one this season but picking up a good condition second hand 6&bait off a friend soon. Looking forward to putting it through its paces this winter season. Hopefully i can haul some nice big cod in!

Thanks for the feedback and fingers crossed the 6&bait tames some big cod for you! 😁

I’ve got a lot of AFAW rods, but not as many as I want. I’ve even got some of his prototypes. Jules actually talked me out of buying some of his rods. He said I didn’t need them cos I have such and such rods already. How many other rod makers would do that? Yeah they’d just take your money. I’ve got a lot of respect for Jules, he won’t sell you what you don’t need. Which is good for the customers, but not so good for him. That’s proper customer service, more companies should operate like that.

Hi there. I’ve bought the mk2 6& bait multiplier the spigot is really really stiff and tricky to get it in . Before I actually start using it on the base on the diamond pattern is it very hard wearing as not sure of the longevity of the wrap . Must admit it does look really nice though

Been looking at getting the 15ft fixed spool blue range...for chesil and South Coast. Would this be suitable? Want something with bit stiffer tip for tides. Currently using penn tidal 100 to 250 Gm. But really like look of afaw rods. And I've literally not seen a single bad review about the afaw range of rods. Any help greatly appreciated 🙏 🙂

can I use spinning reel on my tournament match mk2???

@HookpointFishingMagazine 7 ай бұрын

A fixed spool? How has your TM MK2 been rung? For FS or multi? It's not that you absolutely can't switch reels on either, but it won't be optimum. The wider line wraps coming off of a fixed spool could also cause a ring wrap on a multi rung rod.

Only used one of your rods pal.. anyfish anywhere estuary.. nice light rod but the tip is sh**t for maccy.. can't feel them even if there's à few on 🤔need to soften the last two foot up👏👏all the best Lincoln 👍

@HookpointFishingMagazine 10 ай бұрын

Hi Lincoln, is it the 12 foot or the 11 foot Estuary rod you used? I had the 12 foot for a few years and it’s more of a firmer tip, through action rod which might not be everybody’s cup of tea for lighter fishing. I’ve yet to confirm this myself but the 11 foot Estuary is supposed to have a more medium action with a softer tip - a better fit for people wanting or expecting that kind of profile. Cheers, Ben

I'd be very interested in your rods but the only thing that puts me off is 820g on the blank on the 6 and bait. If you was to release blanks between 3 and 400grams I would absolutely be able to purchase I'd rather not go fishing to walk away hurting like you said in your speech fella. @anyfishanywhere.

@HookpointFishingMagazine 8 ай бұрын

Totally get where you are coming from there in a world of modern very lightweight rods, especially in the 3 piece world. That being said, where the weight is in the blank makes a massive difference - I don't personally feel the weight in the 6 & bait, as it feels well balanced. I really do feel it when all the weight is in 2-3ft of glass in a tip. No mans perfect rod is perfect for another though - best to try a few and find what is right for you.
