    Still a place for a lump of luncheon meat

    All my bigger Barbel have fallen to meat, as soon as I reach for the meat I think OK no more Mr nice guy you have had the starters now for the main course.

    Best pellets

    My last was 2x8 mm Hinders, and before that Sonubait 'O' Spicy Sausage I think, which proves nothing except Barbel are less concerned about these things than we are.

    Best pellets

    The best pellet is always the one that last caught.

    Drennan Specialist Barbel 1.75lb

    Sadly not the one I think. The one he wants is a single top. I also got a couple of the twin tips, pre dates the Bowlers.

    Best pellets

    Favourite for me are Dynamite Robin Red 8mm at the minute, Sonubaits O's in any flavour Caught more on standard 14mm halli over the years but they may have been sussed. And those Sonubaits squishy soft pellets caught me loads a few years back, but had to be hemp and halli, nothing else.

    Drennan specialist barbel 1.75lb

    I have one unused still from new, but I do use the case. Anyway I am miles away in Glos. They never seemed to be popular for some reason, but lovely aesthetics. Obviously you like the rod so I should really use it, if I can track down those pesky barbel 😃 .

    This will be interesting….

    He looked typically useless in holding the whip. You would think the hosts Pippa and Rupert would have known the rules.
