    Recommendations on a custom build all-rounder.

    I was thinking 1.5lb myself. I find my 1.25lb rods just a little soft for barbel. I have just had a look on the Peregrine site. I have a couple of flood rods built by Roger and I love them. He has an 11' avon rod at 1lb6oz and a 12' stepped up avon rod. No mention of TC on the latter. Does...

    Recommendations on a custom build all-rounder.

    Evening everyone. I am considering a custom build rod that covers all of my river roving. Primarily for perch, chub and barbel fishing. It would be nice if it was capable of indicating a shyer bite without being a twig if you know what I mean. I'm not looking for a rod to fish the likes of the...

    Carl and Alex.

    Theses two lads gave the forum a wee bump on the lastest video to be released on their Youtube sister page, Fishing Tutorials. From about 1 minute 40 seconds. Cracking lads these two. Totally capture the spirit of fishing in their vlogs.

    Fox international...selling direct?

    The Supa Brolly series wasn't the best. Lots of issues with them leaking. I had three fail on me. Mk1 and 2. Binned them in the end and jumped across to Trakker.

    Dewalt Usb charger.

    I've installed mains voltage in the back of my van. Just enough power to charge batteries, make a coffee etc. Also comes in really handy while fishing for keeping things topped up if a powerbank ever lets me down.

    Dewalt Usb charger.

    I guess my fishing was successful. Sorry chaps, the age old argument and I couldn't resist. :)

    Leeda icon tripod

    I've just ordered the Prologic Twin Sky 2-Rod Pod. Obviously I have not used it yet, but I found a thread somewhere on the net where it appeared to be well liked. Time will tell with this one I guess. It does appear to be a decent bit of kit though.

    Lockdown watching

    Terry Hearn stories are all excellent. His excitement and enthusiasm just shines through. The Burghfield Common is outstanding.

    Dave Lane has just resurrected his personal Youtube page too. I wonder if he is preparing for a move to another company.
