Although this post is not directly related to the original one I'd just like to say------ I haven't been a member of the B/S for a long time and I haven't fished for the last couple of seasons or so. However last Thursday evening I had a phone call inviting me along to the B/S meeting being...

So very sorry. Condolences to the family. Kindest Jim.

Just like to add my tuppence worth and say I have never had anything but great service and friendly advice from the three shops that I've used over the years in the Bewdley / Kidderminster area. Mal Storeys. Bewdley tackle and Stan Lewis's (although sadly Stan has passed away now). The staff...

So sorry to hear about Ben mate, I do hope he's well on the mend. My very best to the family. Take care Jim. I feel another Bridgenorth evening coming on, I'll drop you an email.:) Congratulations on the A/M

Hi all, I've followed this thread with interest and I think there's been some very salient points made. Since starting back fishing after over a two year lay off with a health problem, despite putting a lot of bank hours in my results have been very mediocre to say the very least, on a river...

Many thanks for the replys lads, it's much appreciated. Myself I always use a large hook and place a piece of grass under the bend to stop it pulling back through rather than a boilie stop, because I think it looks more natural to the fish. If I've coated the meat and given it a quick fry it...

Just a quick question. Do you prefer to hair rig meat, or hook it in the normal way, and what if any advantage do you see in the method you use? Take care Jim.:)

Or do what we used to do years ago. A length of black cycle valve rubber cut to hemp size pieces and paint a white stripe on it. Used to work a treat on the Thames when you'd really got the fish going mad with the loose feed. Take care Jim.:)

And from me.:).

See my thread on the ones I bought Boots Jim Collins I'm very pleased with them, BISON BEARCLAW STUDDED WADING SHORE FIELD BOOTS SZ 5-13 | eBay Take care Jim:)

Thanks Chris, A happy New year to you. Have a catch up in the not too distant future.

Thanks for the tip Steve. It's my next door neighbour who's thinking of getting one and he ask my advice, so I said I'd try and get some good advice for him. Take care Jim:).

Many thanks Tom. Take care. Kindest Jim.:)

Morning all, I hope Santa's been kind. Does anyone have experience of the side cast? my question being, do you find that the line coming off at one angle and being retrieved at another causes line twist? My only experience of using c/p's with this facility dates back to the 1950's when we used...
