The 12’6 Barbel specialists are one of Drennans all time classics IMO…capable of chucking the largest of feeders and still retains a lovely playing action with plenty of reserves in the butt
Definitely tart end of spectrum for me…..amount of money we spend on gear seems crazy not to keep it in best nick. Except for rod bags, don’t care what they look like and no idea why that is!
I’ve been using the Korum Grappler last few months in size 12/14 fishing the feeder for both Tench and Barbel, have been impressed so far…great hookholds, don’t blunt easily and good price. Landed a low 20 carp on a size 14 so they do stand up to larger fish.
Used the Nash floater claw last...
I have been looking at those along with the tournament feeder…only seen the feeder reel in the flesh but shop is ordering in the whisker to compare, absolute quality reel, and price tag to match

I aim to be on the river 1st light trotting maggots for Chub. Then back home and out again late afternoon into dark on a weir pool for an elusive Ouse Barbel
Doubt I will sleep much tonight
4 club waters and a syndicate lake complex for me, like others 2 of the club tickets I am loathe to give up as getting back in is a very long wait!
I have quite an amusing anecdote about one of my club books….a local one I would fish with friends as a young lad, never bought a ticket and was...
This time of year I will readily do a 90 mile trip to the Severn once or twice a month, get there for 1st light and you still have 15 hrs of fishing (no night fishing allowed)…but I’m also very lucky in having the Ouse within walking distance of home. If you share the long journeys with friends...
Have a look here Paul, stunning location on the Severn https://rdas.me.uk/rental-cottages/
We also stay here https://cottagefishingholidays.co.uk/
We book a week in autumn, predominantly to fish the Severn as members of RDAS, but booking a year in advance you take your chances with state of the...
I have a Skoda Superb…it’s cavernous, lovely to drive long distances and the most economical car I’ve ever owned, it’s a 1.6 diesel green line and averages 65mpg on a long run (fully loaded) cruising at 70.
They look spot on Richard, if I hadn’t recently stocked up with some of Fiskys feeders (which are also great) I’d be asking for some…count me in as a future customer though
Difficult to answer with any level of accuracy, as it depends on demand at the time. If it’s listed on an auction site and 2 bidders really want them they will fetch good money…I have seen some go for £350 plus and at other times less than £200. Collection may be restrictive to some people. My...
Bag clips, D loops, straps, bolts and feet etc could all be sold with a decent mark up and we’d glady pay it to keep our luggage going
The cynic in me thinks this is exactly the reason companies don’t offer parts/spares Richard….they want us to replace with a new item!
Agree with this, plus I detest fishing under a static brolly. I do use one of the fortis brollys (basically a golf brolly) to cover me in heavy showers when roving otherwise will rely on waterproofs
