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.

Cold hard cash or so I was told the last time I asked.

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

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

Talking of Krill, I'm sure someone told me that some krill additives like a certain krill powder I was given once is just a cheese powder. I wouldn't be surprised.

Me too. I haven't read anywhere of this type of issue, quite the opposite in fact which is why I was a little surprised to see the build. This was on a 13 foot Titan. The 13 foot Avenger I looked at wasn't so bad but it looked like they joined two bits of duplon on the handle instead of using a...

I went to a shop today to have a look at one as my wife was going to buy it as my 50th birthday present. Not as tippy as I thought it would be but still felt good. However for the price of the rod there were a couple of things that put me off and you may think me fussy for mentioning these...

Would the Titan be equivalent to an Acolyte plus in terms of power?

It's quite unnerving when you can make out 50 pairs of eyes reflecting after dark from a head torch at distance. This happened to me a few weeks ago when they were blocking my route. One got a bit playful and the usual shouting, flapping tackle laden arms made them back away but still made a...

One of the well known french protests was against wheel clamps in that any wheel clamp found on a car had it's lock filled with super glue making the whole system unworkable. Whether this is right or wrong morally, I have to admire their strong stance. Big companies have to be hit in the pocket...

I think most parties have internal conflicts of interest and Labour more so then any other which probably means they should have sorted who and what they are before taking office instead of this type of mess being played out on the job. Blanket policies will always see someone losing out and I...
