    Avon scales....unused in box....

    As above, the box has come appart, not ripped, I think the glue holding it together has just died of old age. This has happened whilst the scales have been in my possession and stored away. Here's some pictures so people know exactly what their condition is.... I've never taken...

    Curious Richard as to what hooks you use? After using multiple different types of hooks over the years I have always found animal micro barbedand drennan superspades, again micro barbed to be the best hook patterns to keep hold of grayling, and my go to sized hook in them has usually been a 14s...

    I think my favourite hooks for barbel are the kamasan animals, I had a few fish come off the other day whilst using drennan acolyte superspades, but that stopped as soon as I replaced them with a animal hook. Rather than being off putting I think the shinny hook is more of an attraction than a...

    Chasing chub....

    Today I fished the same spot as where I had all those little ones from last week, I must have only actually fished for just over an hour but that hour felt like a loooong hour, mostly due to a injured shoulder but also due to me only manageing to catch a couple of small chub, a dace and two...

    Wanted: Shimano 4000 X-Aero

    I have a pair that I might consider selling, without looking I think one is boxed and unused and the other has ben used a coup.e of times.

    Chasing chub....

    To be honest Dave, I only took those three pictures because I had to visit the bank for several reasons other than taking a picture....call of nature, tying on a fresh hook, and re filling my bait pouches 😉. Because of the very alkward and long wade to get to my spot I had no intentions of going...

    Chasing chub....

    I can't remember the last time I had so many in a session. I think I had 18 and then 14 small ones in two sessions last year, again, they were all little ones. If you blow the pics up Richard you might be able to check the cork out, even through the placcy you can get an idea of the filler in...

    Chasing chub....

    They were only small, but it's unusual to drop on a shoal as large as that must have been these days?

    Chasing chub....

    I only had one chub of about 4lb and a few little tiddly ones today, but I also had a few decent roach, and dace too, but I had 27 of these .... mostly around the size of those in the photos, but several of about 8 ounces! It was enjoyable catching them on the float gear, ok only small...

    Your 24inch drennan specialist will be fine Kevin, you could fit a monster in that!

    Korda camo bolt and run rigs,

    When i've legered i've always found the barbel just hook themselves against the line and rod tip, hence the rod bending round as they try to swim off. I gave up on all the anti tangle rigs etc, all expence for nothing and just adds bulk to the line which will without doubt gets snagged easier...
