    Insight GR60X Line or ESP Syncro XT Loaded.

    Personally thought the synchro xt was horrible, I stuck with gr60 for a while after that. I’m happy with either hydrotuff or GTHD now. I’m a Gardner fan boy for line.

    Spoppers

    Does anyone know of any 2/3oz versions other than the Korum? I’m not going to mod anything but would rather buy a better made one if possible. I can see the 4oz fox converted ones on eBay. Has anyone used those? The ones in the Bfw shop look good, are these likely to be back in stock at any...

    For sale: Harrison Torrix 10ft 2.75lb Stalker and Harrison 11ft 2.5lb Baby Ballista

    I had a pair of the 11ft 3lbs, they were amazing rods. Not well suited to the water I ended up fishing but did manage to christen one with a 35lber before moving them on. Such a great playing action. Anyone tempted, go for it 🤓

    Mitten Crabs.

    are they more active in day or night? do they carry on through the winter?

    I actually caught one!

    Nice one! Bet that was exciting.

    Best pellets

    The last ones I had total faith in were Hinders Barbel Blitz in about 2015, but I think they lost access to the flavour. Three Rivers Rolling still uses it it in one of their boilies though.

    Well I'm certainly more confused than when I started, so thank you all 😁

    Am I wasting my time buying a second rod?

    On wasting your time buying a second rod though, no harm in having another five.

    Am I wasting my time buying a second rod?

    The only time I’ve used two on the Wye is on a big open stretch, commanding a lot of river and in February when I felt I was trying to eek one out. Sometimes I did have one on each 15mins apart or something, so it was worth doing. I am thinking about using two on the Ribble but it would probably...

    Might be of use to some…

    That's polite, I was thinking more along the lines of 'battered'.

    Best pellets

    Evening all I was just wondering what everyone’s favourite pre drilled pellets are at the moment? I haven’t used any for a few years but would like to get some 8mm jobbies to do a bit before autumn. Does anyone used the three foot twitch ones? Thank you

    This will be interesting….

    I believe there’s some nice carp in there. I did some work experience many years ago with the land agents that managed the place. From memory there was a meeting going on with a colonel who worked there and I had to wait in the car 😂 I had a black eye after an eventful weekend and probably...

    What is a Kev Baynes Specialist H.T.?

    I imagine there was some contrasting emotions at either end of that sale. I'm not in the position atm but I will probably get in touch one day then Keith to see if you still have it 👍
