    Tri-Cast John Allerton Rod, anyone use it?

    Alec, Im in Ludlow now until tomorrow morning, can collect it today and bring it back for you ? As Richard says the rod bags are black nylon and they have the model info on the top flap.

    Tri-Cast John Allerton Rod, anyone use it?

    Im pretty sure the only float rod is the15', I also have the 11' 1.2lb that Alec mentions, there was also definitely a 1.75 12' barbel rod, beyond that I don't know. the 11' is a super slim blank but its undergunned for barbel even though Ive had quite a few on it, not really sure what its best...

    Wafters.

    I haven't tried wafters but in all honesty Id be very surprised if they outfished a boilie, pellet or other static bottom bait. Has anyone fished a boilie and then switched to a same flavoured wafter and started catching straight away ?

    Mark, I think you are overthinking it, as long as you are using a good quality bait you will catch, if you are not catching then Id say the fish aren't there. Because a water has a low fish density doesn't mean your rigs have to be different imo.

    Trimpley BAA water

    the only other option is to park at Arley and walk along the river but its abt 20-25 mins to get to the res. Flat walking though.

    such a shame Terry, every time I visit it you just sit there and remember the good times ! I did catch 4 last season in 6 or 7 trips but 0 for 1 so far this season.

    Meat cutters

    I have one and been using for about 5 years, works fine. Spare blades readily available too.

    Best waders

    if your looking for thigh waders the DAM neoprene lined ones are decent for the money - https://www.fishingmegastore.com/bootfoot-waders/dam-flex-rubber-hip-wader~44954.html

    Time of day

    I have to say the so called witching hour has never been particularly productive for me albeit a nice time to be on the river. I generally fish 10am to 6pm give or take, just the most convenient time.

    Bit of fun... What's everyone's preferred boilie of choice

    I never use them, have tried in the past and found them less effective than pellet and meat for my style of fishing.

    tough start

    Ive had 9 days on the rivers so far, one on the Teme, 5 on the Wye and 3 on the Severn for a total of 20 barbel, way below what I would have expected to catch based on previous years. Ive been mainly float fishing with an hour or two on feeder, lots of quality chub on the Wye as a bonus but the...

    Hinders Elips Pellets

    Personally I only use them with the feeder, two pellets drilled on a size 8 hair, no superglue in sight !! They still catch plenty of fish for me. that's the largest bait I use, otherwise I go down to a single 6mm or 4mm when its low clear and hard.
