    Carp fishing Fluorocarbon mainline

    Tiger line is good, only thing i can say is run it out first on the bank every session and give it a stretch etc. This straightens it out every time.

    Chimera c3 v daiwa basia

    I have had a Torrix 2.5 and it's definitely softer, more through and lacking that power in the butt that a Basia 275 has. Basia more tippy though. It's more akin to the Basia 2.25 imo...

    The new Harrison specialist blank

    You definitely wouldn't get a butt ring on a 10 footer....

    The new Harrison specialist blank

    Be nice to see one with a bend in it.. personally I don't like his ring spacing, just one on the butt is bit too minimal for me and maybe 5 plus the tip again... Butt, what do I know..

    You Can't Catch Barbel On The Float In Winter.....

    Watched the video last night Ian. That Zeppelin is so smooth, with no rattle that u get on some pins. You rang a bell in my head when I saw the sweetcorn; having caught loads of Barbel in the past on corn(feeder). I haven't tried it on the float on the lower Trent yet, it's going in next time...

    Flavours for roach

    Archive Braddock got well into the flavourings for Roach and wrote a couple of books too. Met him a few times over the years. He advised me to use flavoured dead/suffocated maggots over live flavoured maggots on the hook.. His head and enthusiasm is like a teenager, but his age is telling him...

    Snugpak sasquatch jacket

    I'd say its a xxl, I'm a 44 chest and its far too big for me. I'd say if your a biggish bloke it will easily fit you.... I measured it tight across the armpits and got 26 inch, which imo if your 46 to maybe 50 chest it would be perfect obs 48 as a happy medium..

    Snugpak sasquatch jacket

    As above for sale, in excellent condition..reason for sale its just too big for me. If your sat about still on a river bank for hours in the middle of winter, no matter how cold the British weather can go this is an amazing Jacket. I'm a 44 chest and this would suit a 48inch plus chest...

    Bib & Brace / Salopette Recommendations

    I have for the best part of 20 years used a pair of snugpak salopettes, fortis do a pair which are made by Snugpak. The pair I have are still in good nick and will last me another 20 maybe. The reason they are as, is that I put over the top a set of British forces lightweight goretex, they take...
