230 grams is 8 1/8 oz more or less.

Kites and Buzzards galore here in North London/Herts. They don't seem be making any inroads into the Parakeet population though.

From the Philippines.

Years ago on a holiday out from Newquay I had a Tope strip the gears on my Shakespeare big multiplier so needed a replacement urgently as I had a wreck trip booked in a few days. Went to the local Trago mills near Bodmin and found that they have a Penn specialist section selling factory...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392045936940 I've been asked by a member for this so here it is for everybody. I've tested the hooks and the first test with using my fingernail soon discovered, as suspected, they're ablolute crud. Not a major problem because I can only use one hook anyway. Now I need...

Have a look at the Drennan Acolyte range.

This has reminded me of the story about a ghillie, Scottish or Irish who had a client who's ambition in life was to catch a 30lb Salmon. He'd left the ghillie in no doubt that he'd be well rewarded if he achieved his aim. Eventually it looked like he'd finally done it after all the years. Upon...

This subject has been done to death, search the forum. The general consensus usually finds the JRC stealth is brilliant and resilient, amongst others. I've had 2 JRC chairs. The first one lasted about 20yrs and failed only because the fabric wore out . Been using the stealth for 5 yrs now ...

I've been in contact with someone using one on a stretch of river I'm too far from to do it myself. It's brilliant.

You think it isn't now?

Realistically my closest water is 18 miles away, 25 minutes largely motorway. Had to visit a garage nearby there today, who are open . My journey was easily necessary because without it I couldn't drive anywhere to buy food because I'd had a windscreen wiper malfunction. Lucky it wasn't...

How do you work harden stainless steel Richard? Genuine question, I could have become a metallurgist on a different life path. I was only told about hammering as I recall. Rolling perhaps?

Elitest! I fish the Avon for £100 for 12 months and later this year I'll be on the best Salmon River in England and the best Sea Trout river too for £45 for the year as I'm a pensioner. Otherwise it's £70. 90% of my Salmon, including the one in my profile picture, were taken from free...

You guys not fans of the Tuppence and Beetle hubcap method? LOL.

They seem to occupy the same breeding sites at different times, well washed shallow gravel. Recall a site on the Kennet where both spawned in the close season on the same shallows and then dropped down a couple of swims to a deeper swim after. June 16th a friend had 19 Chub and 9 Barbel IIRC...

Further to yesterday's post, the replacement boxes indeed did arrive today. I set about putting the Vision 110/ Rapala type lures in them which is the first time I've really had them out of the cellophane and had a close look at them. Exceptional quality, great colours and translucency, even the...

Buying from China, scruples notwithstanding, I've bought quite a bit of Chinese tackle the last few years. Maxcatch for mostly game tackle, best done through eBay. Extraordinary difference in price and everything I've bought so far has been very good or extraordinary quality. Reels,rods,flylines...
