    Interesting Vid from Mark Tunley

    Still not sure if I am reading this correctly. Are we saying that it is an interesting discussion, but never likely to have anything to do with playing a fish, because we do not play a fish with the rod locked up !

    Boom!

    I use the same thing from Bank Tackle. Just pull the knot in the bag into the narrow end and job done. If I'm using a hair rig, then I also nick the hook into the lower end of the bag.

    Drennan Email

    Stephen, did you buy direct from Drennan or through a tackle shop. If the latter your complaint should be directed to the shop. They sold you a product which is faulty. They should replace or refund and then they have the bother of getting redress from Drennan.

    River Trent float rig.

    Fantastic Rich. Are you using your home made boilies as bait or something else. Also do you loose feed anything or is the rivers pace to fast to do this effectively. Thanks Mike

    FS Barbel seeker same rod but different?

    I've got two f.s. Tamers which were purchased second hand a few years apart. The blank looks really different, though the ringing is the same. The newer rod appears to be more tippy in its action, but that might be age and use related. I prefer the less blingy look of the older rod, so tend to...

    Temu

    Ordered three items a week ago. They arrived this morning and although not yet tested, they look to be good quality and great value for money.

    PALLATRAX GRIPZ HOOKS

    I use quickstops most of the time, with lines up to 10lb b.s. The biggest problem is getting the line to pass through the quickstop. I have found 1) cut the line at an angle to form a point on the end 2) push the line through the stop whilst it is still attached to the plastic moulding. This way...

    Reel advice sought please

    Rob, got my OC's from guys on here. I prefer the OC over the D as the spools are less blingy and new spare spools were only about £15 when I got one a couple of years ago from Johnson Ross.

    Reel advice sought please

    I've got the Martin Bowler rod and use a 4000 OC reel. I think it's a great combination.

    Hi Kevin, don't worry about it. You set light to a little firework and it's great to watch it. There are some very knowledgeable guys on here, but they often have contrasting views. You learn so much by reading these posts. You then have the chance to buy some really good gear from the...
