In the end the person handling the social media sorted it out for me, I had to get in contact with them through Instagram and they sent a couple of bushes in the post.

Im not very impressed with Drennan's customer service. Ive never had to contact them before for anything but have been trying to get a replacement bush for my twist lock landing net handle since February. After initially replying to my email I was subsequently ignored even after multiple...

I use a mini tripod or the gardner adaptor on a bankstick with a compact Samsung EX2F (flip screen) and an cheap intervalometer off ebay. the intervalometer plugs into the camera and has a cable long enough to reach the unhooking mat. its allows me to program a delay, before an amount of photos...

Thanks Ian, are you familiar with the stretch? Any advice for someone who has never been there before?

Yes, That's easily done i expect. Some of the pod set ups I see don't look to stable either. I remember nearly losing a rod on the Warks Avon a long while ago. A duck flew into the rod tip and knocked it off the rest. Before I could grab it, the rod had completely disappeared into the water...

Thanks for the reply fellas, I will bear Burton in mind and yes going in the week could be possible. Ive never been to A1 but been to Bobs (on my own) a few times and though it would likely be too busy to get swims next/near to each other. Are either of you familiar with Collingham? or any...

Hello All, I'm looking for some guidance regarding day ticket stretches of the middle trent. I would like to take my Dad somewhere for a chance of a double figure barbel. We would be travelling a decent way so would ideally like to bivvy up for a night. I tried this early last year and...

Both rods are practically as new but without the cloth bags. Used just once on the river but too heavy for my fishing. £80 collected only from Walsall (WS3) or could deliver/meet if a reasonable distance

for sale I have 2 x original Korum Neoteriec Twin Tip Rods. These have been well used and the negatives are... Decals are worn 1 ring has been bent back into shape 1 x 1.75lb tip section is missing on one of the rods is missing Well used but have plenty of life left, the blanks are...

Bob, that's great. Info much appreciated.

Thanks for the replys fella's. I've just double checked and you are right they are not Seymo guides. The butt guide is stamped with a tiny logo that at first glance looks similar to that of Seymo. I don't know why but I've always been under the impression that going from single to double...

Hello All, I got a original Korum Neoteric rod that I would like to re-ring. I'm a complete rod building novice but are going to attempt this myself. The current (and original) ringing pattern has 9 Seymo guides starting with a 25mm double leg butt and the rest are all single leg guides...

But once you have replaced the handle you need to look at the arms and net. Its a bit like triggers brush

Cheers David, I'll look into getting some new arms also

I've got the Fox Barbel 32 specialist net which is great but my mesh is knackered and I need a new mesh. The current mesh is fairly fine and a pain in the arse on a 3m extension in a decent flow. I need a replacement mesh but I'd like it with a larger mesh size and maybe even rubberised so it...
