I was joined by a peregrine, for about two hours on the Avon, near Bidford, yesterday. It swept over the river several times and twice wheeled away right over my head, so it must have known I was there. It felt like a privilege to be in its company. I was also joined by a barbel, but it shook...

I had a carrier section breakage earlier in the year - or rather my friend had one, on a rod I sold him, and he's not local to the dealerr so I dealt with the replacement. It took about six weeks, but they did agree to replace it. That replacement promptly broke, in exactly the same place, and...

If anyone is interested in the Hardy, I received an offer of £310.00 on it, earlier today. I was no longer watching it, so declined. I dare say the seller will take less, since nobody has bought it yet. .

I know that - I've had experience of their service, via my dealer. I just wanted to know what other people's experience has been, especially if something has broken. .

Martin Bowler reckoned the Acolyte Distance Feeder was a great barbel rod. I think it's 13ft, which would put me off, but it might suit the Trent. His views might have changed since his apparently acrimonious split with Drennan. I think at the budget end of barbel rods, the Shimano Purist BX3...

That's odd, because the TT Duo I bought in June has exactly the same finish as the new Drennan barbel rod I looked at yesterday. .

PM sent Alec.

Top Gear also left the Hilux in Morecambe Bay overnight, so it got completely swamped with sand and water. Started the next day, no problem. It was rhe vehicle they couldn't kill. .

I had a diesel auto Toyota Hilux (40+ mpg), about 10 years ago, which I should never have sold. Had one in Africa in 2005 and did about 30,000km in it, a circuitous route from Cape Town to the Equator and back, including every sub-Equatorial country apart from Botswana. Easy to work on and they...

Daiwa. Or if not, please PM me with the seller's details and I'll buy it.

I have my first RR as well, after years of Mercedes and BMW (and Porsche, but that's another story). My only gripe is the cost of fixing anything. The diesel exhaust fluid system (to make it ULEZ compliant) is particularly problematic. Mine has failed twice and cost over £2k to fix... the car...

Korum certainly brought something different to the table with the latest S23 chair's parallelogram legs. As half-ar5ed ideas go, it's a beauty... when I had a notion to buy an accessory chair a few months ago, not a single Korum dealer advised me to buy one. I can't see the dealers pushing this...

If Korum reinvented the wheel, it would be hexagonal. This is the company that promotes the Omega rod, by saying: 'It doesn't get any better than this'. If that is the case (and we all know it isn't), then I wonder why, only a year after launch, the Omega can be found reduced to half price. .

Ah! I didn't read it properly. Why does he (or anyone this forum) NEED a keep net? Unless he's fishing matches, just catch (take pics if necessary) and release. .

Or even Angl1ng D1rect - a Guru net is only about £15.00, they also have inexpensive handles. The Tackle Tavern also have load of used kit... next day delivery.... I can recommend them for reliability. .

PM sent, Graham. Thanks.

Done.

Korum 3-Rod Quiver In perfect condition - very clean - only used a few times. Non-smoker. Multiple strap positions, with fittings for net handles etc, and outer pockets for folding net (mesh pocket) and bank sticks etc. The outer rod pockets take rods with Korum tip and butt protectors...

Interesting stuff chaps. Can't see me changing to braid - I use it out of necessity on my 'nuisance pike' lure rod, but I don't like it. Gardner Hydro Tuff gets a lot of love, but regardless of make it's reassuring to know that breaks can, and do, happen to other people, sometimes for no...

Not sure I understand, Graham, but I don't leave them in the car - and I never leave them 'made-up'... if that's what you're getting at? .
