    Hooks.

    When I have fished barbless hook waters the mouth damage on fish is far far worse than on waters that allow barbed hooks. And a number of occasions parrot mouths are the result. When fishing with my Granddaughter on a barbless water the other day, probably a third of the fish had damage, some...

    And the extra help came along too!

    Granddaughter insisted that her friend should come fishing as well today. We caught about 30 carp and a few rudd. The mouths of many of the fish were awful. Barbless only

    Mike. Is it one of these stops. I have two Nomadic chairs. Can't seem to release these though if they fit.

    When is an upgrade really an upgrade?

    It's a simple answer for me. Does the rod I own do everything pretty much that I want it to in terms of species and size caught. Do I enjoy using it. If the answers are yes. Sorted.

    Identify this rod please.

    Hiya Brian. Yes end of season, in fact last few months on most rivers pretty hopeless. Certainly when I came to fish with the Mafia!! I've got a swap ticket near Breamore so probably be around a bit more this coming season. Be good to meet up if possible

    Identify this rod please.

    Hi Brian. I suggest it might be a Matchtec 15ft. There were a number of multi length rods 13/15 15/17 ft as well as a few straight lengths in the Ultra II range. Later I believe the Ultra II logo was their feeder range. Mid 90's I think and worth around £110 with a fair wind. Then again, I...

    Making your own bait.

    To be honest the best bet is to send 10kg to a few of us and gain a view after the first couple of months. Four more anglers needed

    Shakespeare 15' B1 Specailist float rod

    I agree with Richard. I really enjoy using my Mach 1 14ft rod. Very underrated, if you choose correctly.

    River Kennet Burhfield - Advanced Angling

    Jamie. A pal last seasin on here asked me if I could suggest a place to have a fish on the Kennet, as he wasn't local. Managed a double on the day. There are good fish around, just not so prolific as 15+ years ago when 5 fish incl 3 doubles wasn't unusual when I was guiding. And dont forget...

    Tench 2024

    Just returned from 30 biteless hours, as did a few others. To my knowledge only one fish landed over that period. Mind you, It was 12.01.

    Well done Alex. Incidently, I'm using some line marker painted on the line and stopping it on the cast as it comes off the reel. I always have a fear, clipping up, that the whole lot may go lakeways on a rogue screamer.

    Will always remember a Britford Avon masterclass with Keith Speer and his Microlite.

    New reel.

    Get a 3000 Stradic. Wont be original Japanese but new around £85. Perfect reel for the rod.
