    My Season is over :(

    Problem is Cliff, they send you an email informing you that you must shield so if you are caught out of area you could be in trouble, my nearest coarse river is 43 miles away. I can recommend that as a mood lifter. 👍 Simon, I already do that too much without being stuck at home.

    Korum fast mat

    I have the Angling Direct Advanta XL Cradle which I am very pleased with, maximum size open is 120cm, the downside is it does weigh 2.2kgs compared to some of the others positively heavy, but is very well made, and will handle any sized Barbel easily.

    I bought 300 Metres of Matrix Horizon mono the other day, when I was loading the spool up I was pleasantly surprised to find a 150 Metre sticker half way through. It's a pity all bulk spools don't have that.
