For the last two seasons I have used well glugged boilies as hook baits. The first being Pacific Tuna, the second being boilies soaked in JB Baits Creme Caramel flavor. I have also used a "snowman set up" with a small white popup on the top. All have caught well with a good spread of numbers...

Maybe 10 years ago I was fishing the Yorkshire river Nidd. The long walk to the swims was long...the short walk meant navigating a good sized herd of cows with billy bull standing watch. I worked out there was not a problem, there was an intersecting barbed wire fence with a stinking pond to...

I fish with a couple of lads for mainly barbel., many hours on the bank. We all use different boilies. One of the lads uses TI in all seasons, he catches very well (both size and numbers). Bait well glugged up on the TI liquid, very little free offerings. I'm very happy with my own bait...

For the past few seasons I have used CC Moore's Pacific Tuna. Very good results across the board on both weights and numbers. Mainly use the dumbell size, more economical for feeding them in a decent amount in the warmer months, we Yorkshire lads are not made of money! :)

Duties have kept me on the river Nidd Yorkshire so far this season Cliff. Found it really tough on the barbel front against my last years records and results. Same for the local mach lads.

Hi David, I fish the Nidd for barbel most weeks. Absolutley endorse the Torrix 11ft 1,75. Used it for a good number of years, enough grunt to handle some 9+ fish and great fun with the smaller splashers, fun with the chub also. Also excellent with those super tight swims.

Hi Tim, pm sent.

Superb reels, an absolute steal lads!!!

Great price indeed Bob! Brilliant rods!

Hi Gerry, I would like to echo the advice given in the thread posts. Over the last two years I have bought 4 gts via ebay (6010s). No problems whatsoever, and the decal advice is the giveaway. There are a couple of 510's up at the mo, and as they are not new and sexy...cough :) the prices...

Looking forward to your "post waggle" test on the Guru rods Jon, very interested to hear your views.

Iv'e been using it for chub over the past couple of weeks Derek, they hammer it! It stays on the hook really well, not as pungent as the stinky garlic spam! I also look forward to whacking a lump out for the barbel next season.

In support of Rob's post... Chas Burns is a superb rod builder, and a true gent!!!

Same as you Mark! I power twin tip.

Drennan Sink Braid on short hook links. Gardner Ultra Green Skin coated for longer links or long chucks.
