I do the exact same thing. Couple drops in a box full of chopped meat and shake. 😎

His chicken tikka is lethal for barbel. They absolutely love it. 70ml in a bottle is roughly the equivalent of 420 eggs at the levels I use it at That is seriously good value for money

You did a great job with it Kevin on the derwent. I remember you starting out with half a kg of my base mix to give it a try out and got results quite quickly from using it very effectively. It’s pretty obvious it can for some people on some venues be very effective.

I think it depends on afew key factors before any benefit of it can be seen. Firstly it’s not going to be beneficial on runs waters. Testing any baiting theories out where there is a substantial amount of fish to go at, that are competing heavily for food is a waste of time especially if they...

If it’s possible do it with a friend or 2. Me and 2 very close angling friends did this one season and we had a rota in place for baiting up. It was on a small section consisting of 3 pegs that nobody else was fishing on the river nene and we concentrated our efforts into applying this bait...

There’s afew advantages but it’s not pixie dust and they are only as good as the work you put in to them. As Gavin said above, you are going to the river not only with something as fresh as it possibly can be but also unique and probably something the fish haven’t seen or tasted before. Do...

I’ve used one afew times and Personally I don’t think they make brilliant trotting rods but they do make very good specimen waggler type rods. For trotting I like something more tippy in action and these seem to be quite stiff in the tip and have a reasonably powerful all through action. I do...

The concept for me has too many major flaws with the main one being sloping river banks. Even a conventional chair with poor leg adjustment can allow the back legs to be folded in and do a half decent job on a slope but with your tackle and sandwiches bolted to the underside of your chair...

Ledgering or float fishing Bob? If it’s for the former then literally anything with a decent check will suffice and it really doesn’t need to be brilliant to be spot on for the job. For float fishing it obviously needs to be straight, true and free. You get a lot of choice in the 100-150 mark...

Mine are covered in steel spikes. I’d end up being stuck to the pedals…… or wearing through them 😂

If only it was possible to pick up Ian’s casting skills from the videos 🤩 4g float 30 yards on a pin …… skills

Mines been in exactly the same state for the last 3 weeks too Jon. It’s just not getting any opportunity to run off before the next pour down. Getting very frustrating

On a 13ft float rod, especially one as light and balanced as the rod in question, it’s going to be pretty difficult to mess this up. What I’m saying is don’t think too much into this or start to worry about reel weight figures too much because anything you put on that between 200-300g is going...

I’m not going to say it’s sad to hear as it might possibly be the one thing that makes Steve a happier man. Sorry if that’s not the case Steve but without any circumstance knowledge all I can say is hopefully your doing whatever makes you happy mate. Tight li……… I mean best of luck 👍🏻

Don’t rush mate. Whenever you get 5 is fine by me.
