    Lunatopes ??

    Used them on the end of the rod tip and an absolute waste of money. Stay brightish for about 10 minutes max. Look at the reviews in eBay and you'll see similar comments.

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

    Thanks for all the replies, lots of opinions which are always welcome. I use these type of reels on a handful of trips so I didn't really want to spend top money so I ended up with a pair of Okuma pit reels that balance the rods nicely. I had a lively fish last week on the set up just under...

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

    Fishing the Thames last night with 6oz leads and with weed on the line when reeling in, it occurred to me that my 3500 Daiwa Baitrunners may not be quite the right tools for the job! Looking online today I can see that Okuma do some reasonable Big Pit type Carp Reels with a front drag but no...

    8mm thread to 3/8 bsf adapter for landing net

    Sorry, that wasn't very clear. The thread for the Chinese landing net pole is 8mm - the standard thread for UK nets etc is 3/8 inch. I can't find any adaptors that go from 8mm male to 3/8 female but have seen some that are 8mm male to 10mm female. The question is whether this will accommodate a...

    8mm thread to 3/8 bsf adapter for landing net

    Revisiting this thread as I'm in the same position, looking for an adaptor. There are 8mm to 10mm adaptors online, would this fit a standard net, which is around 9.5mm? I can't find anything online that works and don't have the skills to do myself. Thanks in advance!

    Tackle in Lidl this week

    Is the folding net in the shops - looks like that is from a few years back?

    Good Luck

    I am out tonight. More in hope than anticipation & mainly down to the dismal return thus far. In short, I'm desperate to catch one last barbel. It's mild tonight & prefer to be out than in watching s**t TV!

    Wanted Shimano x-aero 4000fa

    As above, I had the 2500 FA version. The design flaw meant I ended up selling them, for the price I expected a lot better!
