    Line for the float

    I have loaded up with Matrix horizon waggler feeder mono this season. Its ridiculously thin and very strong. My rule of thumb is tying a granny knot in it and pulling for a break, it knotted so well and I couldn't tell the difference between a knot and straight line for breaking strain. I have...

    Go to hookbaits

    Massive Spam lover. It was on offer tother day in Asda. £2.70 a tin.(20%off) Bought a cheeky 10 tins again last week. So far apart from 12 maggot caught Barbel the other week, 85% have come on Spam. Its a far better daylight bait than boilies. Boilies come into there own at night, as I firmly...

    Carp gear for Barbel

    I'm totally with you on this... I have tried 1.75s and caught some amazing fish, but on the odd occasion I have been found out, by not having the power to steer away a fish from a snag or stopping one of those powerful runs etc. I think the I deal rod also is 2.25 to 2.75. If your tempted to use...

    If its off the rod end or a rod out centrepin is ok. Just be aware of the friction burns you may get 😆. Also check the wind direction as its a typical downstream wind. North or North westerly better for west Bank..

    River Trent float rig.

    Cheers Richard I didn't want t to step on your shoe's. In terms of float fishing, I'd rather fish your area, mine can be dam hard work at times battling depth, downstream winds and banks that only an Ibis, would feel at home on....

    River Trent float rig.

    Totally not criticising you here Richard, but we both have experiences in float fishing for Barbel etc. Heres just a different view to it. See im not a fan on using spades tbh for bigger fish. I did find on multiple catches, that the spade did sometimes damage the line, during the battle trying...
