Think we should let the fish tell us . Wasn’t around at the time but Triggas initial release was nothing short of spectacular, ( but I witnessed BFM taking waters over ) nether BFM or Trigga have that same impact on lakes that have never seen those baits before . Both catch fish today but I...

Yes that initial base mix you gave I took to the Trent , fished with a mate in a double swim , from memory I had over 15 bites he had 2 or 3 , we even swapped sides and I still carried on catching ! It was as conclusive as you were ever going to get . What I had left I took on the Derwent and...

Well i went from averaging 5 barbel a year ( using off the shelf baits ) on the Yorkshire Derwent to 24 barbel in a season after I’d pre baited with an HNV. bait , I kept the bait going in on a regular basis , a fresh one egg mix per evening session, and whatever that was left got thrown in at...

JBs Taste F2 with Barbel Search 4 is a winning combination 0.5 mm per large egg

I’ve actually heard about this on the grapevine , don’t worry I’m not about to say anything on here or anywhere else for that matter . But looking forward to the catch report 👍

I have the Drennan one , use it on the Trent and carping , also have the Korum one for smaller rivers .

Apart from they turn themselves on all the time , despite mine being kept in a hard case Although the green light is a big plus , leave it on low and it keeps the rats away

I did well on Barbel Search 4 1/2 mil per large egg with his Taste F2 base mix

Yes but the handles actually fold , even the Castizm handles don’t do that , something that bugged me along with the inconsistent drag and baitrunner . I use my Shimano OCs now and they feel all clunky and agricultural compared to the Whiskers , definitely in reel eutopia now 🥰

It was Terry unknowingly put me on to these reels , I have three now and couldn’t be happier with them , forget baitrunners the QD is where it’s at for me . Great on the middle Trent and I use mine for small water carp fishing as well , when funds allow I’ll be looking for a 4000 version for my...
