Yes but Joe , you are missing the point , this is MAGIC ! The quickness of the hand deceives the eye , or in this case the magic twig works so quickly you can't even see it working , amazing ! Them clever carp don't know whats hit em until its too late

I would advise not to but the Tiger brand luncheon meat [ Tesco stock it], it looks and smells great but it is very soft and doesn't stay on the hook even with the gentlest of lobs . Tried frying it to toughen it up , still not up to the job

Frankly I don't see what all the fuss is about with regard to this 'magic' rig , its simply a variation of a well worn method ,namely the bolt rig . Like all these innovations its designed as much to catch anglers as to catch fish , and in that sense I am sure it will be successful .The type of...

Looks like I got it wrong , I looked yesterday when I first got the E mail and I am sure that it said in the small print there was final value fees deducted from your payout , but re reading it now it appears not .

Have just re read it Daniel and I was WRONG , there are no , [as far as I can see] , final value fees for private UK sellers . Apologies

Its cobblers , you don't pay listing fees , BUT you still pay 12.5% of value of anything you sell , read the small print , no such thing as a free lunch .....

Too much uncertainty with Braid for me , will continue with my Luddite ways ands use mono , tried and tested ...

So many factors involved . On Yorkshire spate rivers prolonged heavy rain can lead to massive and rapid influx of water , this inevitably leads to huge amounts of debris being washed in to the river ,anything from tons of leaves to whole trees , sheep , I even saw a dead cow floating down the...

My point was that many of these braided lines cannot be relied upon to break at stated breaking strain , so how do you know what BS braid to buy ? Say you wanted some braid for a 15lb BS hooklength , do you buy one of stated of 15lb BS or one of 30lb BS , it all seems to be a bit of a guessing...

Just had a look at this line test chart . The inconsistency of braking strain on braid mainlines is amazing and quite shocking , surely this is a massive con and far outweighs the pros of braid as a mainline or indeed as a hook length

Bit prickly there Ian . It was only an observation on magnesium alloy possibly being brittle , not a ' ridiculous assumption' as you put it . Fish with what you like , I couldn't give a monkeys . I like the reels I mentioned as they are what I currently use . I have handled , owned and used...

I seem to recall that magnesium alloys had something of a reputation for being brittle . Back in the day when I had road going motorcycles, many tyre fitters would not use a tyre changing machine to change the tyre on magnesium alloy wheels as they feared cracking the rims , so perhaps this...

Used UPS scores of times both domestic and overseas , never had an issue

Get in touch with the controlling club [ if there is one ] and ask if they can send a bailiff down .Or , if is a club water , and you are a member , show them your membership card and ask to see there's , presuming they are just chancers it might just put them off from returning . Good luck !

Consider the market town of Easingwold , only 15 mins drive to the Ouse or Swale for angling , just off the A19 so easy road access to York , the Dales ,NY Moors or the seaside

I am old enough to remember when Hemp was banned by many angling clubs and associations as it was believed that the fish became addicted to it ! Other clubs used to ban bloodworm and jokers as it gave those who could get them an unfair advantage in fishing matches. As anglers we are always...

Would casting a feeder in every 5 minutes for 90 minutes perhaps have put the fish off ?

To be honest , I think it is easy to wildly over think this whole subject especially when struggling to catch Barbel . Barbel are not the brightest of fish that swim in our rivers , if they are present and feeding I honestly don't think it makes a huge difference what end rig you use . I don't...

I am curious Richard , why coated braid at night , and mono in the day ?
