Ah craig, had a run in with an idiot have you? A lot of them on the river bank these days. Should you decide to return I have a suggestion for you. If you are concerned about the hook link standing out why not try something like the dynamite stick method? Have been planning to test it out on...

Korda wide gapes for me too. Giving the new choddy hook a go this season too. Does anyone have any views on the drennan barbel hook? I've never had any problem with them but I know some people don't trust them. Cheers martin

Never had any problems with gr60 and gt80 but changed to fluoro on the recommendation of a mate about four or five seasons ago. This was before it was publicised that it's invisibility was rendered useless after it had been in the water for a while. Still I got on so well with the stuff I was...

Was back at the folks Friday for a trip to the kennet and while there I had a root around to see if I could find mine. Found one bucket with a mix of both sizes. Maybe if they're that popular I should auction them off!

Thanks for the input guys. I've heard quite alot of good things about the gamma fluoro, maybe if the illusion xs doesn't work out I'll give it a try. I had a lot of confidence in the old illusion after having my first double on it as well as it standing up to a couple of snagged fish without...

Thanks for the overwhelming level of feedback! :) Seriously though, as someone who has to all intents and purposes been away from the sport for 3 or 4 seasons any feedback you guys can give to my posts, no matter how small, would be appreciated. I think I've only read angling mags 2 or 3...

Hexagraph Dave Hi mate It is you isn't it, used to be on the Wasing? You might remember me as KJ and Jez's mate Mullet. I had a lot of fish on those BFW pellets too during my seasons on the Wasing, in fact up until about March this year I still had about half a tub of the small ones...

Hi all Gearing up to my first proper stint on the river in four seasons and I'm trying to buy some new line. In the past I have used Fox Illusion 10lb and loved it to bits. However it looks like to get some delivered in time for my trip I'm going to have to go with the new Illusion XS in 12lb...
