    They'd be ok if they sent what you actually ordered!

    Carp gear for Barbel

    I think the replies on this thread have been somewhat restrained. 😄

    Wels Catfish - The Debate Thread

    I had a carp from the Swale quite a few years ago and it was definitely a commercial escapee or illegal transfer judging by the state of its' mouth. It came from the "parish council" pegs.

    Just spent a very frustrating 30 minutes talking to Himlay about my order, long story short, feck Temu!! He was obtuse beyond belief, I asked them to send the correct item out and all he was asking about was how I wanted to send the item back and how I wanted the refund. I told him multiple...

    My laser pointer arrived today, only problem is, it's just a torch, they sent the wrong item and returning it is a pain in the arse:mad: Got a few more bits due tomorrow, not holding my breath!

    Small Hooks are Safer?

    Committees are disproportionately made up of hen pecked Ken's IMO that feel the need to make rules to feed their self importance. If they want to go down this route then they should apply the gape size which was applied to worm fishing for trout years ago (not sure if it still is). Bunch of...

    New reel recommendations

    I believe they're the exact same reel body but the 8000 has a deeper spool. So I'd go for more line capacity and get the 8000. I could be wrong though!! 🤷‍♂️

    SOLD Gardner Black Shadow 3 rod adjustable rod pod complete with buzz bars

    I quite like that. I like the idea of thumb screws inserted in the goal posts so you don't have to faff on trying to align the alarms and butt rests, a major hate of mine with pods.

    Daiwa Powermesh Avon

    I wouldn't use this rod as a "tip rod" as such. When I mentioned maggot feeder, I meant small heli rigs with a maggot feeder fished bolt rig style.

    Daiwa Powermesh Avon

    I have a pair of the 11'9" and whilst I can't compare it to the other models I can say that it's the best all round rod I've ever used and that includes several Harrisons. I've rolled meat on the Swale, floater fished for Carp, maggot feeder and float fished for Tench, and on and on. If I was...

    Daiwa reel service

    Thanks Richard. Possibly not worth me getting it done. It's a spare anyway and I might "practise" on it. I went in blind with the multipliers and found them easier to dismantle, service and reassemble than expected. If it ends up in bits, there'll be plenty of spare parts for my others!

    Daiwa reel service

    I've got shimmy 10000 xte that I bought s/h and it's a bit grouchy. Could you have a look at it please Richard? If it was a multi' I'd do it myself!

    Lunatopes ??

    I've got a bag in my tackle room, I got it to mix with clear nail varnish for something years ago.

    Feel angry, sad and frustrated

    If every household in the UK stopped paying their bill they'd take notice,,,, but we don't seem to do solidarity very well :rolleyes:

    Lunatopes ??

    Just had a look, could do with something like that for beach fishing instead of battery tip lights!

    Polaris floats. Anyone got any,

    You can still get them new here I've got a few!

    Singles / goal post set ups

    Same as, I keep my rod tips as low as conditions allow and most of the time that's inches off the water. The lower your rod the lower the line to your rig and not that barbel care, the more inconspicuous it is!
