    Reels for trotting

    Good reels - I have 4 Several seasons in now on the Cs10s - no issues at all Great for float work but I’ve had lots of barbel too on them on tip rods-will do everything you mention - nice reliable clutch , strong bail arm and excellent line lay Good point re spools , I think you get a spare...

    Tackle for sale

    A true gentleman who has furnished quite a few of us with some exceptional rods and kit at bargain prices and has shown a great sense of humor when being ribbed by some of us. Some of the banter was brilliant and you took it in your stride- always loved your attitude 👍:D I sincerely hope you...

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    He may or may not have made a mistake. I'm not impressed if he has done it but it wouldn't fundamentally change my opinion of him. Not so much with barbel, but yes, back in the day I would fish way too many pike rods at a time and have them too far apart and I did it knowingly. I used livebaits...

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    I couldn't agree more I was pondering what potentially is this most heinous of crimes if ever proven? Did he bang the fish on the head? Did it go belly up after the ' incident'? Did he put it in a keepnet? Did he fraudulently claim a record or capture? No - he may or may not have set up a fish...

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    And it mentions Peter Drennan on one of screenshots. I'm guessing that this won't be the first legal battle PD has been involved with over the years. He'll have PR people on it as well as legals. If it were to be proven then the potential damage to both the MB and Drennan brands would be pretty...

    Wellies

    Yep as I said for warmth they are awesome but the plastic is quite tough and they all go on the join with the neoprene So I can still use if piking and sat around all day but as an all-rounder / waterproof boot , couple of seasons Now I have big calves so that doesn’t help and I did do miles...

    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    My mate hooked this in the Swale earlier this season. He sent the pic to another friend of ours who is a retired GP and he confirmed what we all thought... He then called it in and quickly had CSI there, cordoned off the area etc. and confirmed they were 99% sure it was human. Perhaps the poor...

    Wellies

    Agree with that on thermal properties , just didn't last, they started to leak where the neoprene meets the moulded plastic- happened on all Grub wellies I've had but I did do a lot of dog walking in them too - Vibram soles were great too. Just expected more than 12-18 months so went All-rubber...

    Wellies

    Had a few pair of grubs and whilst comfortable I think they all leaked too soon Had a pair of these for 2 years - brilliant https://www.newforestclothing.co.uk/products/percussion-sologne-neoprene-wellington-boots

    Tuna in Devon

    Completely agree and ones they have tagged travel incredible distances.

    Tuna in Devon

    Yeah I agree - what a magnificent sight but should they be on our coasts?? Assuming our skippers will sport fish and catch & release? But the thought of one being hacked up to go in my butties really got me thinking

    Wels Catfish - The Debate Thread

    nigh on impossible not to hook them at the mouth of the Tees when mackerel bashing - certainly some squeaky bum moments as the spool empties and you're trying to pull for a break. Orcas are making their way South ( spotted off Bempton cliffs nr Scarborough last month) so hopefully Mother Nature...

    For sale Punk Custom 11ft twintip Barbel Elite

    Lovely looking blank and I really like what you've done with the build 👍 I think the price point for a bespoke rod is about right for a twin tip. Again I like the concept of a tip rod on the lighter section. Just an observation here, but you're into Harrison territory at that level and as...

    Wanted Harrison Chimera 3

    What I really like about the DL build CS12-SU is the handle length I have another set with longer handles and just not as nice to use He nailed it

    Light weight chair

    Richard is right I have the Nash Ultralite which is comfy, strong ( I’m a lump and destroy chairs) and very light but no recliner I also have the Nash indulgence which is super comfy and reclines but I wouldn’t want to be carrying it too far Fox Duralite is a really light chair but again I don’t...
