So at this very moment in the shops today the Drennan Acolyte specimen in 14ft and 15ft, is holding the crown 👑. Is there anything else to match it?

When float fishing, your far more likely to foul hook Barbel, as your baited hook is running through. The pectoral is a favourite followed by the dorsal and lastly the Tail. If you have unluckily tail hooked one, it will feel akin to a massive eel(catfish) and your in major trouble. I had a 13...

Catches down 50% on the TT, for me so far..after the floods in 2012, it was far worse and took a few years to recover..I even blanked the other week, even had to look up blanked as it's not in my vocabulary... smile. It's called fishing not catching hopefully evens out through the year...

Top tips, ensure you have a rod, that can get them in as quick as possible. There's a lot of good 13 footers, a fair few 14s and maybe a fistful of 15s that are good enoughfor the job. Line wise, I don't go less than 10lb, at the mo I'm using Matrix horizon sinking feeder waggler line in 0.22mm...

Had 2 of these for a good 17 years, never had to do any maintenance at all.. however, 2 people over the years over tightened it and broke the widget 😔. Great bit of kit.

Nice rods thise Guru N Gauge Rods...

Great chairs, all my feeder mates swear by them...

The Guru N Gauge Specimen rods are absolutely great rods, from 1.5, 1.75 to 2.25 a bargain from £99.99. The Guru lads have done quite a few vids on YouTube promoting them...

I dropped on a Basia 2.25 last year for a paltry 130 quid. As is the 1.75 and the 2.25, it's an absolute class act. Imagine if Daiwa would let custom rod builders have the blanks and build customs......?

My arms still aching on the first run out of Aldi's brand of spam......

Have a look if there is a rod builder near to your location or tackle shop as mentioned. Obs, make sure its anti frap too.

Looking fwd to testing a new float rod out on the Trent....

That runners bent or under too much tension.

Something I did, when making boilies in 3 egg mixes was; instead of boiling, i steamed nstead. For me it made a far more attractive bait. Just a cheap steamer that had water at the bottom and heated via a gas ring.
