I think I have one like that in the garage. Where r u?

Meat. Plain old meat.

Hi! If you want prescription maui Jim's I am your man. Happy to do them at cost price plus postage for members which is around half retail. (they still ain't 'cheap' even at cost price but they are the best polarised lenses around in my opinion and I've tried everything there is! I'm also...

I've got a 8 year old range rover, never gets stuck in the mud. I can fit the entire contents of my house in it and it will pull my boat effortlessly down to the south coast whilst averaging over 30mpg. The only downside is it's on nearly 100k now and is bound to start costing me a fortune to...

I've had my best results using braid mainline and a flourocarbon/super supple braid combi hook length.

I find my 1.5lb Avon and an ounce or so of lead more than adequate. I cast just into the flow straight in front of me or slightly upstream, feel the lead down and then let out a few feet of extra line to form a bow. The flow pins the line down nicely, the barbel pick up my lump of meat, the...

Whereas I don't support this type of behaviour, we shouldn't loose sight of the fact that we are all out there putting hooks into fishes mouths, if we were THAT concerned about fish welfare, none of us would be angling...... Martin has made an excellent contribution to angling over the years, I...

Gerry if you want a pair at a MUCH more reasonable price, just let me know

How do I get one?

I bought an xxl snowbee folding salmon net - then carefully replaced the net with that from a korda 32 inch v shaped net. The result is perfect. I've landed fish to 15 in it with no problems and it folds away into nothing... Absolutely perfect for roving, it's only limitation is fishing from...

4000d as a baitrunner and diawa ss750 for everything else.
