    No longer required - Drennan specialist twin tip duo 12' 1lb

    Got an unused 11 foot version. Have put a different 2oz drennan glass tip on as the eyes on the one it came with looked like it was whipped by a blind monkey.

    Flipping Mouse

    Got off lightly. I’ve lost in the last year 2 x bedchairs, 2 x sleeping bags, korum roving rucksack, 2 x jackets and 10 kilo of bait to mice in the last year. Now have 3 cats so fingers crossed they’ll get rid of them.

    Rod rings

    I’m going to get myself a new set of barbel seekers made up, as i just prefer the blank to the torrix but always hated the freespirit build. Now i found someone to build on the blanks im undecided on rings. Always used Fuji K series guides, but just wondering what else there is to try? I like a...

    Posting rods

    Thanks chaps. It’s definitely changed since i last sent some. My local post office say it’s 1.5m maximum length which is a shame, post several shorter rids but the 2 piece 12 foot has been a no go i’m afraid. Will have a look at ups.

    Posting rods

    Hi all been a while since i posted rods (pre covid i reckon). What’s the best courier to use? It’s been so long i can’t even remember who i used last time im thinking possibly inter parcel but prices are ridiculous.

    On the Telly - Grand fishing adventure

    The worst program on tv. Hamidi is totally ott, and i think all the fish Zamora catches have a better personality and camera presence than he does.

    Item of tackle you wish you hadn't sold.

    Having an annoying tackle buying addiction there’s loads i regret selling, however i also do look at things and think why am i keeping them, they should be used. I could write a long list of what i wish i hadn’t sold, but then i could also write a long list of things I don’t understand why i...

    Bail arms

    Having spent my life feathering and feeling the rig down from my younger years of carping i don’t think i’ve used an automatic bail arm for years. Only time i can think of was my early teens spinning for pike but that’s 20 years ago.

    Drennan super feeder 11,6 -13ft help

    Is it similar to the medium feeder that does both lengths? If so was my go to chub rod, now use the new version after an unfortunate incident cutting down what i thought was an empty for tube.

    Now the season has been going for a couple of months what’s your go to hookbaits? I always like maggot or small pellet at the start of the season, but as it goes on always find myself going from pellet, to meat, to boilie but can never settle on a winning method.

    OMC magic twig

    You hear it in a video on the omc facebook page. It sounds like a mouse trap going off. That straight away put me off it before i even knew what it was. All the lakes i fish have banned it already and even if they hadn’t i’d never use it, just doesn’t feel right too me.
