ive ordered a couple of the ikonix ones that a couple of lads have mentioned from ebay....thanks to all that replied. £3.70 each!

Anyone know where I can get hold of a couple of those neoprene cases for my pins? Ive got two 4.5" ones, and want the ones i can use both off and on the rod. Oh, and cheap will do just fine!

I use a Daiwa Infinity 1.75, which is a lovely rod...I also use a Daiwa Theory, a third of the price... and to be honest, I can hardly tell the difference. They both do the job just fine. Have been tempted by a pair of Torrix rods a number of times, but they're not going to catch me any more...

Spot on Lloyd..best post on this thread so far.

I match fish commies in the summer Mark, some of which are stocked with barbel. They rarely get bigger than 4lb I've found, presumably for the reason you've stated. They're always the first victims of fish kills too, in summer when O2 levels drop.

I suspect there may be a 17 or two in the WA Chris....we both probably know where, but I doubt whether a record is present. Severn has the best chance of both rivers, and again, we both know the bloke that would do it if anyone can. Agree with your Trent vote....that's the most likely...

I wondered that myself Lee.

Doherty has since moved on Neil, he's now catching 4lb chub that weigh 7lb, and 6lb bream that weigh 12 and 13lb. I also think the record has peaked as Russell says, no where is going to throw up a 21, or a 20 for that matter. I don't think the Severn has one either. Depends on the extent of...

Or one of those mid-winter Himalayan Balsam blooms. ;)

from Himalyan Balsam temps to -7......such skills eh Neil?

water freezes at 0c Jeff.

I use a blender, you get a finer powder.

I've tried many times to familarise myself with my centrepin, each time I fish with it I end up taking off and putting my baitrunner back on, as Neil says. I usually try it a couple of times a season, and the same thing always happens. I suppose I should make more of an effort.

You know your Baggies facts Neil. :D

I agree Cliff. There are boots that 'take the edge off', but don't keep your feet toastie as such. Going for a 5 minute walk down the river bank usually provides a bit of warmth in the usual extremities.

It's a West Bromwich Albion fan Steve.....

I use Muckboots, and so far they seem ok, your feet can still get a little cold sometimes, but not frozen. A matchman mate of mine swears by Baffin boots, which have some kind of warm lining, expensive though I believe.
