i renewed Tuesday and it is easy now than has been, some have been asking for online applications for years. I also suggested a 12 month membership from the date of renewal or new membership, this would attract more come June etc...but baby steps eh? But yes you can buy the 24 /25 book now. .

I can thoroughly recommend the Shakespeare Stool with backrest Very light robust and folds down small. Go outdoors £15. Brilliant piece of kit.

Richard's your man 😏

Yes I found one at local market unused with tags..£60 sold it on for a lot more they are sought after.

Not the Drennan"s Rich that's your pension or the kid's school fees.. ♥️Drennan.

Since moving to what is a in essence a place where birds live and we are merely there to provide them with some food and no doubt some curiosity as to our lives. We are blessed with visits from Pheasants of all colours and the rather drab but bolder females who exercise order in the group. All...

Well of you want to sling 8 ounce leads mid river when 6 ft on then perhaps distance carp rods. The Lower Severn is an animal in flood pointless fishing in the main flow anyway. Sommer levels you can hold bottom with an ounce lead so anything from a 1.5 to 2.75 but a 1.75 rod will suffice in...

Ok John will check...any transactions of this type needs a certain amount of secrecy I guess. 😏 I woke up this morning remembering a vivid dream of scooting around on a monkey bike, and then remembered your fb page I was looking at😉

Hi John sorry to hear your not too good at the minute, hopefully you will be fine soon. No worries regarding timescale happy to hold until whenever you fancy a session. I take it you are BAA too? If not no problem. Take care.

Hi John...well that's great, I am nr Tewkesbury so not far and the rod is somewhere in the loft, never used it and probably still has the wrap on the handle. I can always meet up with you at Bidford or Barton? if you wish, no point in in not having a session is there? I do have a few rods I will...

I believe I have one never used...but why? 😏

Ledgering? The ratchet scream is a thing of beauty.

Great stuff this , but how many true 'pins' if any are sold now? And what is the real difference in performance between a bearing and a pin?. I have a true pin and the mindset it seems these reels are only good for ledgering. Also, is it really necessary to have a reel spin so freely..for me...

The Bowler? The Drennan original was rrp £140 and the Bowler endorsed was c.£170..but that's the tax on celeb endorsements.

I have the Drennan Powers which predates the Bowler endorsements but can see the differences with a full cork and different guides with the the later rods. Also noted the Powers are becoming quite sought after now..no one wanted them last year 😉.

Not even Martin😏...but it is much the same rod as the Bowler ..but without the endorsement I imagine.

Interesting...I have a Drennan 12ft 1.75 specialist barbel unused. What's the difference to the MB ? If any.

Sorry if came over a bit OTT it wasn't" aimed at you just really something I feel a bit strong about that my local rivers anyway are almost bereft of barbel. Very much quantity over quality I would hope for in the future to give the species a future. I understand the buzz you get from a...
