It would be a huge story if, these escapees were surviving AND breeding. With the emphasis on breeding Dan.
I accepted that a few could escape or be released but beyond that I am dubious.
We are still awaiting sound evidence of the Loch Ness Monster, Aliens, and now Big Cats.
I agree that...
I get it that cats are possibly escaping. But that for me doesn't mean an awful lot personally, if these big cats were surviving and breeding then that would be a huge story.
Hard to tell ...not calling you out but why is there no definitive clear pictures or carcass of these cats?
Apparently sightings of these big cats are common in Oxfordshire and some believe they are breeding, which if so is a a bit of a stretch because if so we surely have definitive proof.
I...
It's a shame Fosters Bob the Rod is no more, he did a no frills 11 ft Torrix for about £180 iirc. I will have a look around to see if anything out there, but they are snapped up quickly or want silly money.
I was going to say think about Torrix...the 11ft 1.75 is ideal for the Warks Avon. Well balanced and if you do get one if those lumps it has enough muscle.
It also makes a brilliant rolling meat rod.
But I am sure Hans recommendation is worth considering too.
I have a Dave Mason river rod 10.6...
It's always a pain fixing isotopes. OK on my Torrix I have a whipped rubber tubing which takes all sizes if you fiddle with sleeves.
A quick easy way mentioned on here is plasticine or blue tack which is fine for the bigger disposable isotopes.
Those thoughts have been occupying my mind too. You would think a pellet boilie bait would be better in low clear conditions but I just know come dusk no matter what the river conditions, for me, meat gets the attention.
Don't really know where to start, but probably wet a line somewhere...not the best at watching England live so might record the match and fish. Although the weather currently is 'poor' it great for us anglers.
Good luck and tight lines.
Any spike will do, just make sure the rope is sound.
You could of course get a hand crafted bespoke one made I guess.😏
I now take one every time I fish, some real cliff faces in these parts, essential piece of kit.
Agonising over rods is what BFW is all about. We have an obsession over what is in principle a pretty straight forward problem and yet it appeals to our male train set type mentality and the more bells and whistles we can play with the better.
Love it..even though any non fishing civilians...
