    If anyone’s interested in a pair of torrix rods

    It's worth noting that the seller is new to eBay with no seller feedback. Not saying they are not genuine but exercise caution.

    Chasing chub....

    It was an incredible looking fish and almost carp like due to it's depth. Very much a "donkey" in stature.

    Chasing chub....

    I had this a few weeks ago on link ledgered paste, feeling for bites. A new pb at 6.13lb.

    Flood water fishing

    Meat smothered in curry powder, size 4 buried in meat, if they want to feed and you're on them you'll catch quickly. You'll probably catch others from same spot as they are grouped together in a comfortable area. If that sounds simplistic then that's because it probably is. The hardest part...

    fishing lobworm

    Through the saddle is traditional but just generally bung 'em on a a largish hook. Finesse not required.

    Upstream or downstream if fishing in a group?

    In the middle and Jedi cast them up and down stream😎

    Decent roving umbrella recommendations please?

    Another vote for the Korum super lite river brolly. I hate carrying a brolly but this one doesn't feel like a hindrance at all. I use it with side rather than center poles to increase coverage. I almost want to buy another before they get discontinued.

    New John Baker video

    Shelf life pastes don't seem to have the same bindind/moulding qualities of normal fresh, egg made paste. The shelf life pastes I've used have been useless for river fishing situations and seem to be brittle and dry.

    Still a place for a lump of luncheon meat

    If I'm using a braided rigs for meat fishing, instead of changing whole rigs everytime a hook blunts, I just have a loop tied on the end to simply loop on another hook a bit like a multi rig for carp fishing but with the loop pulled tight to the eye. Just a little tip that works for me.

    Still a place for a lump of luncheon meat

    Meat has been great for me in floodwater conditions especially when it's caked in hot curry powder, sublime. Definitely seems to be used alot less these days.

    14 foot float rod storage and transport

    A tube as it's shoved in the back of a van but will be interested to see what others do.

    Insight GR60X Line or ESP Syncro XT Loaded.

    I used loaded for around a year and it performed well. It sunk exceptionally well almost like a flouro but that's probably of no interest to the barbel fisher but I do remember looking for the line in clear water from a boat and I couldn't see it. It certainly didn't let me down on one of the...

    New Drennan 1.5lb Barbel Rods

    I do wonder if the Drennan tench and bream rod would actually make a half decent barbel rod with a bit more low end grunt and sensitive tip. Having said that the new Drennan barbel rod in the videos look a little more mid action rather than through.

    Baitworks new bait

    This is a hydrolised milk protein so will be expensive. A kilo of hydrolised casein costs £200 plus.
