    Thoughts on Block end feeders.

    Problem with the Korum ones is that the end caps come out when fishing and you end up with an open end feeder. Only solution is to glue one cap in?

    Sussex Ouse

    If you are used to the Rother and Arun you will catch on any other river.

    How much bait?

    I'm sure that the same approach works on most small to medium rivers.

    Wading trousers

    I'm not a member, but Godalming AS have a rule that you can only wear waist waders NOT chesties on one of their venues. Advice from their page or Apollo Angling at Marsh Farm might not go amiss

    Gardner landing net pole/folding pan net

    I have the gardnerXL. I have managed to get two of the telescopic sections jammed together. Always a problem with tele sections. I forgot about it. I'll have to get it out of the shed and loosen it. 😁😉

    Unhooking mat

    I have an old TFG one but I wouldn't recommend it only the size is good , the sides are not high enough on a sloping bank as found on many swims. it's also very bulky to carry

    Unhooking mat

    85 cm is about 33 inches , the biggest barbel are more than that. I don't want to take a chance.

    Unhooking mat

    Spoppers

    I'd Agree with Terry about the salt. The Kings weir spopper has the pin made the same way as Christophe's originals. BFW have some good spoppers, Possibly made by Eddie Bray I have some of his as well. They work just fine
