Thanks for everyone’s input. Ordered the Korum. I have an old transition larger bag which is excellent, hopefully this will be as good, Also like the lie flat opening.
Good call I will order one. I have a larger Korum ruckbag old style and it’s excellent. Also order to be able to Lie it flat, several times my roving bag has rolled down the bank. Good call.
Hi folks anyone found a good alternative to the above. Mine has come unstitched after relatively little use. Would prefer something which will accommodate an unhooking Matt in some way.
I’ve just bought a mint 6000 with spare spools but in all honesty it’s a little large for what I want albeit it’s a very nice reel. I’m after 5000 size for my 1.75 rod for small river fishing if anyone has one in vgc.
Myself and my fishing companion arrived at the conclusion that as it’s the large fish which are female which we’re after the difficulty in working them out and their defiance of any logic has more to do with sex than species! This is confirmed at home on any given day!
Apparently from the article it’s a reaction which occurs as the tyre is exposed to the atmosphere as it breaks down and produces this particular chemical. I’m fairly certain the research is Canadian but I’d be surprised if it only affects salmon. The article pointed out that this will get worse...

You asked for assistance he tried to give it. I’d suggest that if you genuinely want assistance take that given in the same spirit that it was intended. ……failing that don’t ask!
Collingham club do have float only matches and barbel are often caught. If you speak to the bailiff he’ll put you on the more productive pegs. It will depend on river level to allow you to get close enough to the waters edge, having said that I absolutely believe that during the day the barbel...
Hi Al, the advice ref the tree swimm is spot on , quite snaggy. Lots of chub and barbel, I had a 9lb + within twenty minutes on the first day. Very dependent on levels which were up and down whilst we were there but you’ll catch chub all along the stretch. I fished meat over pellet and also...
Hi if anyone has one of the above, preferably the original black model in vgc which they’re prepared to part with please contact me. Cash waiting for the right reel or possible deal with my 4012 tdm qda or theory 4000 sp if you’d prefer.
Fishing styles are like so many other things in life a personal choice. I like to think that I vary my approach in order to maximise results, inevitably based upon my intention of presenting the right bait in the right place at the most opportune time and in the manner that experience has taught...
