    Unexpected 'cut-offs'

    I believe its either mitten crabs or crays. I fished a stretch on the upper Trent last Monday and late afternoon my luncheon meat and hard pellet baits were disappearing progressively faster up to dusk, so much so I packed in at 8pm out of frustration. This is an area not particularly known for...

    Fox Horizon X4 or Daiwa Powermesh?

    I sold some fox rods due the not being able to fully secure the reel properly. They were fox reel seats on the ones I had by the way

    Cheesepaste

    How about a adding a little garlic puree https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/253126769 to make a cheesy / garlic past. the oil will help keep it soft as well as adding the flavour

    Dave Lumb is suffering at the moment due to the lack of blanks from Harrisons, I believe he is doing repairs to get through this bad period.

    Where do the barbel go?

    On the Don itself I've had them trotting with a bunch of 3 to 4 maggots, especially over undulations in the river bed where they are tucked in out of the main flow. I also stop using high oil based pellets / feed as the water cools as I believe the oils / scent don't leech out as much.

    Clothing for the larger man

    Preston DF30, rated at 20000mm static head (generally fishing waterproofs are between 3000 and 10000) is really dry, I used to wear one for winter pike fishing on my boat and never got wet. They are a shell type suit so you can layer up underneath to keep warm. They are also generous fitting...

    Hull and district pike venues

    I used to be a member, but find this club https://scunthorpeanglers.net/fisheries/ to be better value and more productive, plus there's plenty of the River Trent on the book as well. The River Ancholme around Brigg is an excellent predator venue along with the Warping Drain, neither of which are...

I managed to pick some opaque ones up which are much easier to find things inside than the darker coloured ones. I think the...

    Physical size mainly as I tend to use the Shimano GTE's in either 6000 or 8000 size on the Trent due to distance and lead / PVA bagged pellet weight considerations.
