    Mighty Trent Day Ticket. Fiskerton v Stoke Bardolph Road

    Get yourself to fiskerton and buy your ticket in advance online for Notts Piscatorials (cheaper online and you don't have to wait for the post office to open 😉) The top end of the stretch is a bit of a walk so travel light or take a barrow (I do both depending on how I plan fishing) I'm not a...

    Search for the ultimate roving luggage setup

    Brilliant bit of kit! When I saw Korda release it, straight away I could see it would be ideal for river angling on short sessions. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned having one. Thanks Lewis

    HNV Boilies

    Hi Peter, The hookbaits are going in for 20-30 seconds and the sausages go in for 40 seconds. I'll then air dry them on a rack for 24 hours at room temp then freeze. I've been using them exclusively for almost a month on a stretch, baiting little and often and fishing paste stringers with a...

    Wanted - ss2600 spools

    I've got 2 I bought off here from Robert Linwood. They are immaculate, I've not used them, they are loaded with new 15lb line and have upgraded line clips. Im not likely to use them as I have different reels for different rods with their own BS line on so won't need spare. £55 posted for...

    Super strong beaked point hook

    Hi Jim, The specibeaked are terrible hooks, really weak and the eyes open up quite easily. I meant the original specimen hooks in sizes 12-16. The new barbel hooks look very similar however I've not had them next to each other to have a look as nowhere near me stocks them. I should have been...

    Super strong beaked point hook

    Not the specimen range, they aren't very good IMO, weak wire and the guage is finer and the eyes are a bit off. I tested them a few years ago and didn't like them. It's the new Barbel Specimen Hooks that are the same as the Talon Tips I'm told. Thanks Lewis
