.....ah, but 11ft/1.75 Torrix rods are weirdly wonderful. I reckon they hit the real sweet spot with that blank.

Sussed Del. 🤣 :D:D

I paint them white (Tippex will do) then overcoat that with 'fluorescent' yellow or orange nail varnish.

It's apparently 'sport' Jim, but I don't know how anyone can justify shooting these beautiful, and harmless, creatures.

Presently there's no close season on hunting hares. Now I know this is nowhere near a "strictly barbel" topic, but it's got the widest audience on here so (Admin, delete if deemed 'inappropriate'). But please sign petition via link below https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/724795

Nices ones Rich/Lewis!👍 Re. predators .... yeah, my next door neighbour had his entire large stock of fish (thousands of pounds worth of Koi) wiped out in just one night by otters. They must have travelled about 3-4 miles up a brook (that flows alongside my house) from the Teme. N.b... serves...

£25 .... or I'll bin them.:eek:

As an aside I'd like to add that IMHO (based on fact, not sales blurb) that, in using rock salt and 'sea salt' in preference to much less expensive common or garden 'table' salt, you are being conned. Both sea salt and rock salt are over 99% sodium chloride (NaCl ... 'salt'), and the rest is...

I've had similar experiences with inexpensive braid (and once with a 'wonder' mono that actually broke at half its stated B.S.) Whatever line I use, I check it before spooling up. I've had zero problems with PowerPro/Slick 8, or that Jig Silk (Fox IIRC) I use, plus a much cheaper Spectra...

Hi All, after just receiving some new wagglers I decided to run some line through them. Then I had a thought : Check the breaking strain of the braid (yellow 10.6lb Jig Silk) that's been used on my Severn waggler rod for ~10years (testing the last few metres of line immediately above the the...

Go whole hog and put your jacket and trousers on backwards ...and you might start a new fashion in 'carp world' 🤣:p🤣 Ultra cult!

As I said earlier Neil ... boxed and unused it'll last a lifetime. Nylon is a highly stable polymer ...but UV (well, any radiation) can chip away at the polymetric chains.
