spazzy paddy 127 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 hi mate i would have thought 9 inch is a little on the small side, i think they call em teacup russels if there is such a thing lol if i was you i would look for some thing about 12 to 13 inch if you want the traditional jrt . atb sp 1 Quote Link to post
