    Recommendations for a 15ft Speci Float Rod Please?

If your not a commercial lover, find a very deep pond/lake and get on the slider.... which imo can be a very rewarding way to...

    Recommendations for a landing net handle

    Drennan Twistlock. The only time I have known the dongle break, was when I passed it someone to set up... he'd over tightened it. I think I greased my 2 about 12 years ago and havent bothered since. If it doesn't want to tighten, put a slight bend in it and it will. I can only think about...

    DAIWA Sensor line problems

    I think so, I use the 8, 10 and 12 for my feeder fishing, roach, Brean, tench and carp too. Goes through the runners so smooth. Another one to look at is Colmic Feeder Pro, this was my go to float line for Trent barbel last year, its staying on aswell. 0.2mm was 12lb and 0.187mm was around...

    How high is too high?

    The height ain't a problem, it's the shiiiiiiiite, that's coming down that affects it. Once fished mid trent, 4 foot on, fishing just over 2 thirds across the river, payed out 20yd of line to create a bow. Next to no rubbish coming down, 19 Barbel on a day session. Bites were just the tips...
