    Missed hook ups

    May not have been different fish, Could’ve been one very wary Barbel snatching at the bait, try back leading if possible to avoid potential liners, if your hair is long try shortening it, and use a different meat, it doesn’t have to be luncheon hair rigged beefburger works well

    Boilies for tench

    8lb 0oz on pineapple flavoured pop up cut to sweetcorn shape, 3 on a hair, so remember they don't have to be little round things, buy a tub of pop ups, and cut them into sweetcorn shapes, for hook baits, then take a tin of Sweetcorn, pour the juice out, and pour pineapple flavouring in, leave...

    Rolling fish question

    The Barbel won’t nessesarily feed in any particular line, they’ll feed wherever they find food to their liking, if you’re using maggots you’ll need at least 3 pints for an average session, you’ll have to make a rough judgement as to where to feed your maggots if you can’t see where they fall...

    Rolling fish question

    Personally I think when they roll they’re taking fry or other water life from near the surface, I’ve watched them chasing minnows and fry, and at the point they take them they always roll upside down

    A little bit of tidying up.

    I've said it before, anglers everywhere need to unite, and refuse to pay the EA rod license, the money we would pay should go to a fighting fund to pay the fines of those prosecuted, this is wanton criminal vandalism sanctioned by a Government office, we could make our voice heard if we all...

    Front Drag reels for barbel fishing with no baitrunner......

    Why would you assume that you or others would need to ' let a fish take my hooklink 40 yards downstream ', and if you were to mosey on down to the rod to pick it up, that would be enttirely down to you, and nothing whatsoever to do with a baitrunner facility on a reel ! You can be as 'tuned'...

    I've had mine for 7 years, used it twice a week most weeks, and it still keeps me dry in the worst of rain, storm poles ( I use long bank sticks ) keep it stable in the worst of winds, Other brolly's I've had have leaked through the boss after only a few sessions, and had a few turn inside out...
