Hi Hurgen,
I use both style and stotz, stotz are designed for the larger diameter lines helping to stop the weights pinging from the line when you are landing fish, styles as said above are for a better presentation when using smaller baits. I tend to use style weights when roach fishing and...
I still choose rod and line for Barbel:D
For me the pole is a great bit of kit on still waters and that is the place i intend on using it, large fish seem to be confused when hooked and they fight in a different way.
On running line the fish have an angle in which you are pulling from and they...
I used to do a lot of comercial match fishing and still slide the old pole out when needs must, i find playing fish on the pole to be easier than on rod n line. The constant pressure from the hydro elastic subdues the fish very quickly, as long as you use the the correct setup then the fish and...
A nice mixed response to the question......and the answer is........everyone does it there own way cooking, soaking, toasting or crushed raw:rolleyes:
I will stick with cooking in some form or other, if the stuff grows in the shallows then next year i should have a forest in my pond:D:D

Watch the Fox power storm poles, the screw is only a press fit and has nothing holding it in place, seen a few screws come adrift from the poles, i have drilled and put small self tapping screws to hold mine in place.
@ £13 a pop you would have thought they would have made em a bit...
Hi Folks
I have 2 x Harrison Chimera 2.25lbtc rods by Dave Lumb for sale, they have a couple of mods to the rods, handles and stainless collars and buttons.
I have hardly used them over the last year and these rods deserve to be used and not collect dust:rolleyes:
Dave's words...

Another big thank you goes out to the...
