    SORTED! 11’ Torrix 1.75

    Check you’re happy with the ringing. I bought two and one has a (I think) weirdly big 30mm butt ring. The other has 20mm and looks lovely.

    Anyone got a few Bob spare?

    Interesting stuff Neil. Have you had unwritten agreements transcend different owners or are they in situations where it is the same family? Given the land is still not registered I imagine it’s never been sold? I guess there’s two ways to look at it, maybe spending the money and getting it...

    Anyone got a few Bob spare?

    My response was definitely a tad stereotypical. Sounds like the reality is even more humorous, second hand anyway 😂

    Anyone got a few Bob spare?

    Different case by case. Can be short term licences, long term leases or ownership. The latter two generally being preferable. In the case of a lease, contents of each lease agreement are generally negotiated case by case. Although a certain % of the agreement may include relatively standard...

    Lidl garlic sausage

    To be fair, the fish I had the other day could have fitted half a tin of spam in its gob quite happily. I was also sometimes bringing baits back in that hadn’t been whittled down at all, so there’s a decent chance it did have the whole thing. Not sure I can visualise how the method feeder would...

    Lidl garlic sausage

    What’s the shelf life on it Stephen? I used my last ever square of garlic spam last week, half a 200g tin and a 12lber. A fitting end.

    Floodwater line

    I recommended synchro xt to my dad after reviews online, I thought it looked horrible in use (comparatively) and will be sticking to Gardner HT or gr60.

    Sold - Daiwa Castizm br25a

    Evening all 1 boxed Daiwa Castizm br25a for sale, with spare spool. It is as new and unused although has been put on a rod and taken to the bank in a rod bag. One spool has 15lb solar bulletproof and other has SBX braid on it. £190 including postage. I believe this is £40 cheaper than a...

    Calling all users of Ray Walton Rolling Pin Reel!!

    Hi Alan, can't help on the Ray Walton but I recently did this using a normal pin whilst fishing a patenostered livebait for perch. Admittedly only at close range but it worked really well, no dropped runs.

    Brolly reviews

    Thank you fellow lanks. I've just tried reproofing my salopettes so that I can comfortably sit a puddle of water instead. If that hasn't worked I will get a Drennan brolly. Presumably people have got the 50in?

    Wanted - ss2600 spools

    Before I turn to eBay just wondered if anyone has a couple of spare ss2600 spools lying around?

    Brolly reviews

    Thank you all for the feedback, any lanky brolly users out there? At 6'5 I'm a bit worried (perhaps unnecessarily) about head room.

    Most of them won’t last that long, there’s not many barbel in there 😂

    Lidl garlic sausage

    Any preferences on hooks for the half a tin of spam? I’m on my last esp raptors, the modern carp hooks I have lying around are beautifully sharp and woefully short lived, the points seem to turn over if a fish farts half a mile downstream. Edit, just read back and seen a couple but no harm in...

    Barbel in the lower Severn??

    I’m fishing at the moment and at the near the edge can get away with 2.5oz but have got 4.5oz in the middle. I’m fishing into the flow as opposed upstreaming, so could probably use less if doing that. A few days ago I used 1.5oz and would have used an oz if I’d had any with me. I believe...

    Mortimer and whitehouse new series

    I didn’t watch yesterdays but perhaps that is what we need. Ever increasing levels of type 2 diabetes etc is not only a personal health issue but a financial problem for all of us. I really enjoy the programme though, bit of light hearted comedy and pretty scenics. What’s not to like.
