I am sure one of our members is an optician, and helped many BFW members with similar issues. Hopefully, he see's this post and can help you both 🙏

i use something similar to this, magnetic base so the hooks don't fall out, double sided. i write each hook size on the lid, above each section...

Rob, do want a lodger 😁

Brilliant site, all the best to you and your family Andy, and to everyone else also. :)👍Blimey, just realised, you lot have had to put up with me, just on 16 years 🤣

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you all. 🍻

Rob, is there any chance you would consider posting the 2 x greys gt2 9ft stalker rods, if so, i would like them please. Such a shame, i'm based so far away in Liverpool. 🙏

Some great memories here 👍 used quite a few of them, swingtips, sight boards, washing up bottle tops, i used to fill them with a bit of plastercine for added weight.

Wasn't Roger Surgay the man on the mic, owner of Dragoncarp, cheap and cheerful imported fishing tackle.

Welcome Michael, this has got to be the best barbel forum on the planet, don't be shy to ask questions, there's a wealth of knowledge on here, and most members are more than willing to help.

David dear chap, you've got your priorities all wrong, you manage to catch a deer scuba diving ( at range ). and mountaineering, but couldn't photo a few tits just a few feet away. 😜

Mine has got to be fishing off the rocks at Trearddur Bay Anglesey, its got to be at least 3 quarters of a mile across the bay, an old guy, possibly in his late 80's, early 90's, would swim from one side to the other, then back again. He did it every morning we where there, Amazing.

A price might help John 🤷‍♂️ Arrrggghhh my bad, just spotted it, 🙃
