    Hope all goes well for you. I'll only buy local on FBMP and collect, too many horror stories to risk postage for me!

    Wanted - Dave Lumb pike rods (longshot)

    Also great rods, I have a couple and a couple of P1's. If you're buying two I'd get one of each to cover different situations/distances etc. The X1 falls somewhere between the P1 and the BB but I've never handled one. Treat yourself they're worth the wait.

    Do you have any Chris Yates, I already have a few but I'd be interested in more.

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    Better than what? discussing a subject that relates to angling and the integrity of it? Us forum members have done no wrong by discussing and offering opinions on the matter, which ever side of the fence you sit, some may think he's at fault (I personally reserve judgement until I know the full...

    Angling direct 95% of sale

    Even if AD did have a 95% off deal, every thing on offer would be out of stock:rolleyes:

    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    As much as a sceptic as I am, I still enjoy reading this stuff👍 Just got a copy for kindle, £1.99 :)

    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    Same as. I've been spooked out of my skin on a few occasions, especially on a pitch dark night, do ghosts prefer dark nights?? but I go back, the rational me knows it was a badger, deer, rabbit, demon! None of which can hurt me👹

    Bank Tackle discount

    I had a size 8 barb deep in my finger last season, I gripped the forceps on it and got my daughters bf to pull it out (after I looked away). It wouldn't budge, turned out he was trying to be gentle so not to hurt me, I explained the stuck on band aid situation, another more positive attempt saw...

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    It's akin but maybe worse if true, to a John Wilson programme back in the late 80's-early 90's where (allegedly) he had a local club stretch closed for a while whilst it was pre-baited for days/weeks?? and he turned up to record a video/program and emptied it of chub. I reckon it must go on all...

    I also think they're a thick gauge wire, gone back to the few I have left of pallatrax "the hook" and grippaz.

    Cheesepaste Too Stiff

    Saint Agur is too good for fish, if you put my SA in the river you'd be following it😄😉

    Not a genre I've ever read Chris. I'm more of a Ken Follett, Lee Child, Clive Cussler kind of guy. The most "out there" book I've ever read was "A clockwork orange" and a bloody hard read it was!

    Cheesepaste Too Stiff

    I add a splash of this. I make mine up pretty much like this, it seems to stay soft enough.

    Light Lure Fishing For Perch - Mainline

    Daiwa j braid x8 is relatively cheap. I have the 20lb on a spinning rod I use on the boat at sea and the 4x in 5.5lb on a drop shot set up that has yet to see the light of day. The 20lb is really nice to use, can't comment on the 4x-5.5lb in use but first impressions were good compared to other...

    I have a pair that I use for beach/coast fishing. I find them not too bad, I know I'm in the minority though.

    Flask

    A litre of water weighs 1 kilo, add a flask and you could be almost doubling that. A small stove plus a litre of water and gas is neglibibly more. Enjoy a fresh brew 😉

    Daiwa emblem br25a

    I recently got two of these in the 5000 size for my roach rods. They might seem on the big size but after comparing the 2500, 3000, 4000 and 5000., I settled on the 5000 for the spool size for (rightly or wrongly) increased casting distance on some of the bigger waters I plan to fish. Also I can...
