Careful Neil, you'll upset "Jeff". I'm sure he's watching. ;)

I use these guys for mine, usually do bulk orders. Wouldn't buy it from a shop....way too expensive! https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/pvafishingmeshmanufacturershop

Unless you're a complete novice, I've never really understood the guiding thing, parting with money to be put on fish. I'd much rather figure it all out myself, or at least try to. You're always learning different things whilst fishing anyway.

I use a Carp Porterlite 2 Graham. You need to weigh up the differences between one or two wheels, mine has one. Mine folds flat but the wheel will always take boot space up. Shame you didn't ask last week on the LS, as I keep mine in the car. Use mine to keep the weight off my shoulders, as if i...

GR60 is ok, strong/abrasion resistant, but is too springy and wants to jump back off the spool. Sensor for me. Cheap/cheerful.

I used to backwind due to my matchman background, but now I'm a clutch man also. As already said, I make lots of adjustments during a scrap.

Don't give him ideas Terry. They sold out of bananas on that weekend in Shrewsbury.....

I believe Roger Carswell, the Angling God of Shrewsbury, caught a double on a piece of banana a couple of seasons ago.

Blimey, what a fish that is, many hours put in for that I would imagine.

So what off the shelf boilie would you recommened then Pete?

He said he'd caught it twice Terry. Jeff would have caught it at least three times, once even in the depth of midwinter, snow on the ground, frost in the air, and the Himalayan balsam in full bloom. ;)

I wouldn't believe him either Joe.

I had 22 barbel in 4 sessions last December, on the Lower Severn; all on pellets.

Sussex river = Arun I'd guess.

I don't think they were big fish that dad had that day, perhaps 3lb each. He wasn't far down from the mouth of the Stour that day, he was the only angler to have a barbel. The river was at normal level, and he caught them on maggot. I'd guess that any barbel there then, or indeed now, would move...

Yes. I fished it around that time. It was very good, some good chub and roach fishing. We had a match there in '90 on the main river, and I remember my dad having two barbel on the stick float. They were also in the Stour itself, I saw one in very clear water the one day, a good fish at the...

3 in 1 works for me Chris.

I did wonder about that Graham, not sure if it's best to pull, or push your gear really.

Chaps, after suffering a recurrence of my heart problem whilst weighed down with gear on Tuesday, I was wondering what people use in the line of trolleys or barrows for getting gear to swims. I'm mostly lower Severn so it would be a flat walk, nothing heavy duty really, it would just be my korum...

A mate of mine told me about this a while ago. Utter nonsense as far as I'm concerned, Graham - I'd just turn up and fish.
