    Hinders Elips Pellets

    I believe it was omitted from later versions due to cost.

    Combi rig knot.

    I cringed ever so slightly when I read that. Doesn't superglue melt flurocarbon?

    The price of hemp!

    Well it arrived, not the biggest or smallest seed size that I've had previously and it splits well, so will likely order some more.

    The price of hemp!

    Anyone bought 10KG+ of hemp lately, which is a good grain size and splits? I’m completely out and am nervous about spending £40 to £60 on something, which is crap. I notE hinders have been out of stock for some time.

    A letter to my Tory MP, I'd encourage you to do the same

    I was watching PMQ's today, where Ed Davey asked a question relating to private water company boss bonuses and pollution sewage discharges. Whilst asking the question, he was heckled by Tory MP's and Rishi Sunak, totally ignored the question! Given the drubbing the Tories have just had in the...

    River Lugg destruction court decision.

    I‘d personally have no faith in any of the mainstream parties to tackle this issue over the short to medium term. Remember that Natural Resources Wales (NRW), falls under the control of the Welsh Labour controlled Assembly. Out of all the devolved government environmental agencies, NRW are very...

    VERY Waterproof jacket

    Picked up one of these today: https://www.countryinnovation.com/outdoor-country-clothing/outdoor-country-smocks/woodlark-smock I’d fancied one for ages, but £275 was a bit pricey, anyway spotted it at half price so rude not to. As a clothing brand, Country Innovation is well respected in the...

    Have you considered trying to sell it on one of the Perch Facebook forums?

    Ticket price increase.

    When I served on the committee of a large angling club and new waters were taken on, a trend started to arise where the water owner, would have it written in the lease that the rent would increase annually, based on the higher rate of either CPI or RPI inflation. Therefore if you are a member of...

    Cheese Paste Recipes

    Having just read the link, it’s says the problem with using pastry is that it becomes to firm, in colder water temps. I actually want it to become firm, as it sits on my hair rigged paste coil perfectly. I just don’t buy this advice about moulding onto the hook, rather than hair rigging. So long...

    Centre pin

    You won’t go wrong with that Young’s Purist CL in the above post. I own two and rate it as the best of the original Young’s pins. The caged constructio, just works so well and making it tangle free 👍🏻

    VERY Waterproof jacket

    The main problem with all waterproof jackets is the taped seams. It doesn’t matter if it’s high quality gortex or some other material. When you walk to your swim, wearing said jacket and carrying heavy gear via shoulder straps, it’s constantly putting strain on the seams and they will eventually...

    River Wye and Poultry Farming again

    There was a half hour feature on the BBC News 24 channel earlier covering the River Wye and issues with Poultry Farming. I’ve checked on iPlayer, but it’s not listed unfortunately. Worth a watch if it’s repeated and I took a few things from it. Mark Drakeford, the Welsh First Minister, did his...

    Acolyte Ultra Question?

    I already own an Acolyte Plus float rod in 15ft and 11ft. I’m considering a 13ft Acolyte Ultra, but can anyone confirm if it has enough backbone to deal with Chub to 4.8lb on small rivers, containing the odd snag/ overhanging willow?
