    Tackle reviews

    Completely agree. I picked up one of the originals from eBay, and quite happily paid near enough RRP despite the fact its 10 years old. Cannot fault it at all, bomb proof.

    Tackle reviews

    I enjoy thinking about not just my angling, but the whole 'prepping' of it, and part of that is little bits that make my life as an angler, and experience of each session easier and more efficient. I like to keep my kit to a minimum, without compromising on things, and as i fish for different...

    Season results?

    I think it's fairly typical of the Trent to fish poorly the year after heavy flooding, certainly in my experience anyway. I haven't put any time into barbelling this year, in fact my first session was yesterday evening, as my efforts have been focused on the carp. Fishing has been patchy, but...

    Avid Lock Down Buzz Pod I bought one of these at the start of the season, as i'm not a fan of 'pods' and needed something a little sturdier than single sticks for alot of my early season fishing, as ive suffered with twisting sticks on takes etc before. This is simply a buzz bar with 3 screw...

    Smaller Shimano Baitrunner. Like 5010? What's used these days??

    I have been using Daiwa SS2600's for years, and absolutely love them. I have a couple of sets, on a pair of heavy barbel rods, and on my Zander rods and they have been faultless. I have a set of 4500bs that i use on another set of barbel rods, and whilst i love them too, they dont come close in...

    Tight spigot...

    Just picked a couple of new rods up, and the spigot on one is a little tight on the tip of the male section. What would be the best way to remedy this?

    Drennan rod spares - what are the chances?

    I picked a replacement tip section for a Drennan float rod through my local tackle shop, no problem. Took about a week.

    Torrid Time

    I use GT80, and have done for years, prior to that it was GR60. Never let me down, and no it isnt the most supple but its tightened down to 6oz of lead most of the time.

    Hemp my way.

    I use alot of mixed particle, particularly for my prebaiting for river carp, and i generally soak most particles for longer than generally recommended, hemp being no exception. I like to soak most for min 48 hours, some, like tigers, longer.

    Quivers with sleeves or any other options!?

    I have just been going through the exact same dilema as this. I am not a big fan of quivers, and i have been looking for a 2 rod holdall that offers reasonable protection, without being too heavy and over the top, but offers bankstick, net and brolly carrying options for when i've got a bit of...
