    Torrix Tri Tip

    I actually have a 1.75 torrix customised to take the Drennan tips. Not all barbel bites are wrap around. I'm sure I have caught extra fish because of this rod.

    Dalectronics

    I have also used Darren . I popped into his lock up , he left the alarm that he was working on an fixed my 20 plus year old delkim. I had to go back to collect the next day as he had to let the waterproofing sealant set. Excellent service!

    Heated socks

    I have tried them . The ones that I used made very little difference to my cold feet. The batteries which tuck in to the top of the socks catch on the top of a wellington making an uncomfortable area. I wouldn't buy again.

There are two reasons that i know of (1) anglers don't want their hard work finding the fish lost to what can be a circus. (2) Cost. talking to a current record holder he said that it had cost into three...

    Boilies.

    Does it really matter what the taste/smell of a boilie is? Surely It's what ever you a confident using, whether shop bought or home made

    BIG CHUB

    Not necessarilly Richard . I had a 7.6 in february that had been 8,2 in october caught by a well respected angler( and friend) with witnesses. It had moved from its normal haunt as the snag that it lived in had been removed. Unless I misweighed it. lol
