I mainly use the Korum Mesh Block End Combi feeders with the blocks off as open end feeders.
How are yours falling off? the elastic between them is quite strong and it takes a good bit of force to take them off deliberately, I cant see how they'd fall off accidentally. Only issue for me is...
Advanta Protector Quick-Cradle XL
I have been using one of these this year and have found it very good especially for Barbel as it is 1.2 metres long, bit more expensive than many unhooking mats but I feel well worth the extra, well made and closes up nicely.
Just received my copy of River Diaries, but I am only at Issue 7 of Barbel Fisher so have 42 more to go before my reading time is freed up to enable me to read it.
As I have bought some new Centrepin reels lately I have decided to sell my Okuma Aventa VT1002 Centrepin.
It is in excellent condition with few (if any) marks on it. I also upgraded the bearings to Hybrid Ceramic types.
It is loaded with fresh (this year)15lb Braid and will come in a Neoprene...
Thank you all for your replies.
I will stick the J-Braid on direct without a backing and look for some kind of material for the hooklink.
Rods I could use are:

I prefer it, I use it on almost all my reels and I have just got 100 yards left to go on my Barbel Buster when it arrives on Tuesday.
I use Daiwa J-Braid Grand x8 in 28lb, has a very round line diameter of 0.18mm. I buy it in 300 yard spools and count off 325 turns on my cheapo centrepin (11"...
Hi Peter, any chance of payment by Paypal friends and families (no fees) to edbray@rocketmail.com (keeps my purchases away from my missus).
I will need your delivery address.
I love the fox horizon x4 twin tip barbel rod so I bought another so now have a pair of them. I very much doubt I shall...

Little used and like new (except for the cellophane as I threw it away :) )
Some mullet fishing can be easier than expected if you use coarse fishing tactics of continual feeding and then put your bait in, this only works in relatively calm waters, but bread flake on top of continually feeding small lightly rolled bread balls works well, as does feeding with white...
