    Scunthorpe ticket

    On the Newark ticket at East Stoke there is a peg at the carpark with a solid platform that you should be ok on Michael.. You can also park behind your peg at the power station but you do have the big steps to get down when you have a fish on but some of the pegs only have about 3 steps.

    Bank chair

    Have a look at this.. I bought one last year for the same reasons. My knees are shot it to.. I will say its not the most comfortable chair I've sat on but not the worse either and it is certainly the lightest I've picked up. I can't remember how light it is but if you need me to I will weigh it...

    Advice on new rods

    I think the free spirits are a very nice rod and actually prefer them to the Torrix but it's very much a personal thing .. It's a lot of money to spend without at least holding one in the flesh and having a wiggle. I know it's nowhere near the same as actually playing a barbel on a rod but at...

    Wanted Free Spirit Nylon 12ft Rod Sleeves

    Glad my suggestion worked out for you Joe When I had a rod built by Roger I was invited over to his workshop to discuss my requirements and found him and his staff very welcoming and helpful and he only charged me the same price as the shop sell them for even though I had a couple of small...

    Greys Xflight

    As there are no cloth bags with these rods I will give for free a Korum total protection quiver so the buyer can transport the rods safely

    Greys Xflight

    I have a pair of Greys X Flite Barbel rods. 12ft with 1.5tc top 1.75tc top and quiver tip carrier top top with three tips each Both rods in good used condition. No cloth bags unfortunately. These rods have far more use than just Barbel fishing. I'm not sure how to put pictures up on here but if...

    Wanted Free Spirit Nylon 12ft Rod Sleeves

    http://www.rogerhurstrods.co.uk/ Try this chap. He builds ( or use to build) most of the free spirit rods. I had some custom builds by him and he had a massive pile of the bags in a corner of his work place. It was a few years ago but worth a try.

    Missed hook ups

    If I were you I would just get back to the basic knotless knot.. Use a decent hook IE Drennan / Esp Cryogen / Korda and plenty of others. I use ESP Cryogen with an out turned eye buy many use inturned eyes. If you tie the knot correctly it shouldn't slip down the shank. Some do use a little dab...

    Missed hook ups

    I agree with the hook and bait size being wrong and need to match more closer. A 10mm piece of meat would be more to my liking on a size 10 hook and a 6 or 4 on an 18mm piece but in the present conditions I would be on the size 10 hook with 10mm meat i day light and may upscale it for dark . I...

    Reels

    All of my rods have there own reel attached . There all 2 piece rods except my 15ft acolyte but even that stays made up with a Abu 506mk2 on but will admit with being 3 piece it's not so simple to put up as a 2 piece rod.

    Ticket price increase.

    I think I'm a member of the club that Simon is talking about and I must admit I thought it was a big jump but the club do state the the rents had increased a lot so IF that is true they do need to pass the increase on imo. I've just turned 65 so was thinking I would get a cheaper ticket but...
