If you release it back to sea it will only come back......usually within a few days apparently...:(

Two things..... you can apply for a licence to shoot it if it is causing a lot of damage, sometimes they grant them...... And the reason its there is probably because its already had positive contact with humans (RSPCA) and has lost most of its fear of us.....most of the ones in the Gt Ouse have...

We have a few around St Ives in Cambs, that is 80 miles inland... Unfortunately they seem to be quite settled to river life and have been around for at least 3 years. They, with the other "furry pests" have denuded the area of larger fish, to the point that there is bugger all chance of catching...

I have a pair of the now discontinued Drennan Specialist Barbel rods for sale, £300 the pair Collected I bought these last year with thoughts on using them on the Tidal, but i haven't had a chance to use them, and probably wont either....... I will put some pics up when i get home later on...

Ex? have you given up then? Maybe we should have a trip up the Tidal next season....

and there was me thinking it was a chef that had lost his way:D

To get back to the original question..... I had a pair of the original Infinities, and can confirm that the build quality & components are absolutely top notch. I found that the rods were "springier" than a lot of Barbel rods recovering a lot quicker than most, but in true Daiwa fashion they...

Jason, you just take the inner out of the jacket....but i used to work up in the FAR north, then the inner is a real bonus.... Stephen, You can do it all up-front when placing your order on their website Gets used mostly as my dog walking coat these days.... Andy

Have a look at the Cabelas website its in the USA, but ship world wide, i can vouch for the quality of both the lined (very warm) and unlined items, very soft MT50 fabric, and Gore-Tex too, i didn't think it was too expensive, but what you pay generally dictates what you get...

I use a pair of Barbour Neoprene lined wellies..very comfortable, good for walking and fairly warm, not for sub-zero tho, & not the cheapest! but much better than the Hunter boots they replaced. Have a look at the John Norris website for some decent bargains.... Andy

Double Handle If you can get a double handle from a similar sized reel you can carefully punch out the rivet which secures the handle onto the drive shaft and fit it to the drive shaft of the XTEA. I had to do this with my Twin Power XT-RB's as they only came with a single handle.... Its not...

These days you'll be lucky to do much more than 10 miles in 30 mins......

Interparcel, then select UPS from the choices...pretty easy really...

Fiskerton used to be good in the swims below the clappergate, 39ish if my memory serves me correctly...thats on the Barnsley water, these are good barbel pegs too.... day tickets in Fiskerton post office....

Several on e-bay at the mo, also some GT's which in my opinion are better suited for Chubbing than the GTM, (not quite so fast on the retrieve) Andy

Greys Prodigy Even my wife busted hers... Blew apart either side of the joint, went with quite a bang too!

Here's a good place to get your Airflo G3 https://www.fishingmegastore.com/airflo-sightfree-g3-fluorocarbon~2814.html?&filter_sortby=name+asc Also very good.. https://www.fishingmegastore.com/airflo-sightfree-extreme-100m~6999.html?&filter_sortby=name+asc Andy

Airflo G3, mostly used as a Tippet material for fly fishing, but I've found it to be reliable and robust...i also use it for carp fishing.....usually can be found as a BOGOF, or a 100mtr spool for @£5.99 from John Norris Andy

First trip along my old haunts on the Upper Ouse from 8 or 9 years ago.... River very low & slow, and well weeded. Bottom alive with crays in places, (which looks very macabre!) and devoid of all life in others, had one small Chub and a rather large angry cray....which quietened down after i...
