    Temu (again)

    Yes, I'm fully aware of that. As I wrote above .... "Plus we know that Western suppliers are already outsourcing their manufacturing to the East (mostly China)". Re. "no brainer"...yes, that is exactly what China etc is depending on, and expecting from the West. No need to engage the brain, buy...

    I'd say yes Derek ... we may bemoan the scarcity of fishing tackle shops these days, but it is us that caused their demise by buying so much of our stuff on-line. And by the same cause-effect 'equation', us buying our stuff from China will lead directly to a closing down of...

I've used strings of/multiple 8mm pellets on the hook in the past, but (IMHO) I don't believe that a barbel/chub/whatever would refuse a 10/12mm pellet whilst readily taking...

    No passion for angling?

    Great thread, great posts, great sentiments expressed @Neil Smart @Julian Griffiths @Jon Young IMO I do enjoy the occasional chat with one of the 'good guys' on the bank (and it's slightly, just slightly, even more enjoyable if they're a good angler too:)), but mostly that's just when I'm just...
