Its Angling Direct Birmingham now. Bob's still there and still making nice rods. 0121 344 3333.

Joe Have had some experience of crays in France at Boux. Some good advice in the posts above. We used fox shrink but it ran out pretty quickly so we went to tights, double wrapping, blobbing with a lighter to seal the ragged ends. Plastic baits were fairly untroubled so we used them too. Back...

On a stinking hot day in the mid 1980s at Sywell Res my mate decided to put an anchored crust out to try to temp one of the surface cruising tench. He wandered 25 yards up the bank where there were a few fish showing and flicked out a bait before returning to our tench peg for a rod rest. By...

Either cast the leads in a cheap mould from Ebay for bigger leads like Jon above or in one cut into the surface of a wood block (56g & 84g) or simply a strip of roofing lead. Buy a pack of plastic hair rollers (10 in a pack for £1, the ones with velcro type fasteners but take off the velcro)...

Yes I have a Sportster. Has two settings: off and burnt.

I had one v similar to the NGT model for times when I would have extra stuff and couldn't get on with it. Found it hard to load effectively with a bag (a box would have been OK) and it wasn't very stable. Bought a second hand daiwa barrow last year like the one Jason mentioned and it's been OK...

Unused extension system to make a Fox Brolly shelter bigger. Green shelter in a camo carry bag with pegs and groundsheet. £125. Tricky to post so would prefer to meet in N or Central Bham or Westminster/Euston area London.

Thanks Graham. Most of my perch fishing with live baits has been on small ponds with small baits rather than more demanding situations. And from your previous posts I can confidently say you've had more success with stripes than I have!

Everyone's opinion on rods is different but I think they might be a bit harsh for light lining. I have some 0.75lb Rods I use for perch. If you'd like a chat with the seller PM me your contact number and I'll ask him to give you a call. Nic

Swapped to Technium Black in Jan 19 after reading countless line reviews and used it for both carp and barbel in 10, 12 and 15lb. First impressions were great. Have since binned the three unused spools I have and stripped it off all my reels. Found it to rapidly loose strength and have the...

Thanks John, that's much appreciated.

Thanks Steve. Still for sale!

Thanks Steve. Could you pm me your number? I've had an expression of interest from a member on here but if that doesn't pan out it'd be good to put them on Faceache for our mutual friend as he's not on that platform either.

I recall they were highly rated by lots of anglers. I know someone who used a pair for all his carp fishing until they were stolen from a garden shed. Having Terry Eustace's shop a short bike ride away meant I knew a lot of people with T24s, T31s and Big Tench Rods. Even had some of his rods...

Hi Clive, thanks for the suggestion. I'll pass it on to him. ATB Nic

Advertised for a friend: A pair of Terry Eustace Big Tench Rods. 11ft 1lb 2oz tc, medium taper. Excellent condition. Hardly ever used, owned by my mate from new. Black blanks (never varnished), handles rebuilt last year with Fuji reel seat, fresh epoxy applied to whippings. Fuji rings...

Malc. As others have said, Bob at Angling Direct Bham (formerly Fosters) does strip and rewhips. I've seen his work and he does a consistently good job but you would expect that from someone who has been at it for 40 years (more or less). If I didn't do my own builds/repairs I would trust him to...

Well done Jim. Been a while since our paths crossed but I see you are still hauling.!

I too have some bits and bobs - rod sleeves, net floats, leads bag. All good quality, have lasted well and cost less than other brands. Wouldn't hesitate to look at NGT for other kit when I need it.
