Years ago I had a set of Harrison Trebuchet carp rods made by Cotswold Rods and no issues, I collected them directly on time. The build quality was and still is absolutely superb. But the comments and feedback about them on Carp Forums is very negative and has been for a while regarding...

Hi if still available I will take them please

Been using a pair of Dave Lumb Chimera CS12-SU rods as my heavier set up for a couple of years now. Only got them second hand but lovely rods and will be keeping them for good now.

Did you order through Facebook, that is the only place I can find them? Thanks

You are absolutely right catching a D Stour or H Avon Barbel is now an achievement to be treasured. Although there are high double figure fish in stretches of the H Avon I guess it's the same few fish repeatedly caught. Hope I am wrong about that though.

Large parts of the Hampshire Avon are already syndicate waters, especially the better stretches. Although Severals is still a club water and Royalty Fishery day tickets.

I have been using a Combi rig for a few years now after using it for carp fishing for more years than I can remember. Ideal just changing the short braid hook link when a hook change is needed.

I read on their website that Trigga Ice was a successful Barbel bait, but never really thought about using it and not heard of it being used?

Hi anyone any experience of using Trigga Ice boilies and pellets for Barbel?

Use a lot of his kit for carp fishing rod pod and various types of indicator. His gear is built to last with the best materials available, still using his original stainless steel gear for carp fishing. Trying to resist buying the fan tail pod in titanium 🤣 Got the River Pod and its a great...
