    Fox Duo-lite XT 15' ARD022

    Hi, I have a pair of these 15 foot 2 3/4lb rods that have been used for the sum total of four hours since I bought them from new (plastic wrappers still on the handles). They come with two tips, one a solid tip and the other accepts four push in quiver tips, 4 & 6 oz glass and 5 & 7oz carbon...

    Elliptical Pellets

    A google search seems to suggest that it is being looked into for uses to combat cancer so hopefully it is not carcenogenic, but you never know.

    Elliptical Pellets

    Totally agree, they seemed to outfish all other pellets that didn't contain it. It made me wonder if anyone has tried to add it to the new hinders/wcb pellets. I see that astaxanthin can be bought in capsule form from health food retailers. Another evening of making a mess and smell in the...

    River Teme thriving

    Thanks for your reply's Neil and Terry. I'll have a read up on the Shad projects. Terry, I didn't want to mention the O word but I thought that might be a reason for not re-stocking. Why does it being a SSSI mean it can't be stocked? Is it because the barbel are deemed to be a non-native...

    River Teme thriving

    The Teme was my annual fishing holiday destination for over ten years and provided me with my best angling experiences. Hence, I would love to see it come back to even half it's former glory. The question that crosses my mind is, have there been any re-stocking programmes or are there any...

    Somewhere near Uxbridge to take kids for there first fishing trip?

    Mark, thank you for the most generous offer but I have the tackle side sorted. Yes, I think mucking about with a catapult will appeal to at least one of them!

    Somewhere near Uxbridge to take kids for there first fishing trip?

    Mark and everyone else who has contributed thank you for your help. Northala sounds like a really good option for them.

    Somewhere near Uxbridge to take kids for there first fishing trip?

    Thanks for the alternatives Mark. I tried to explain to them that it might be better to wait till next summer but to a 7 & 9 year old that seems like an eternity away! We'll see how we get on....
