    Budget Alarms

    If you really want budget have a look at THESE if they turn out crap you can hardly moan about the price. I reckon a tin of luncheon meat will soon be more than that!

    Bank tackle hook sizes

    I like the BT hooks for big baits but I don't think you can beat the Drennan super spades or specialists for maggot/castor/smaller baits for targeting big fish. My PB barbel fell to a bunch of maggots on a drennan ss size 14 Horses for courses!

    2 match rods

    A trait I'm aware of that can be countered by a small amount of lead and araldite in the end of the butt. I did a dry run with mine and a small amount it wasn't. I forgot to mention the over engineering includes a really short handle (to enable passing the rod across the body between hands, god...

    2 match rods

    Thanks Richard, I've been on the look out for a decent stick rod. My current Greys Dave Wesson spliced tip from the same era is very top heavy, too many rings (to keep the line off a wet blank) and over engineered, a break in the tip section repaired with a spigot compounded the matter so I used...
