    Korum Rackbag/Chair combo

    I have both. Excellent bits of kit. Comfortable to carry and sit on! When the time comes I would replace with the same.

    The river closed season debate

    Playing 'devils advocate' here but can you put a logical reason to having it? Spawning will be the obvious response, but this seems to be happening at irregular times now. As a disclaimer though, I don't know enough about it to have an informed opinion, but would like to learn more.....

    Rod Red Head

    Fox Front Runners are the ones I like. They have a rubber inlay so that no matter the angle the rod does not slip.

    chub

    Been really enjoying roving. 15 -20 mins in each area (unless there are signs) Paste and meat seem to be favourite. Fishing during daylight and catching a few but nothing big. Think I'm going to have to brave a few evening sessions.

    Best Barbel Reel

    Took delivery of a Shimano DL2500FA. Mainly for chub and tight swims. First impressions are very good.

    1.75 lb test upgrades ?

    Gaz, really like my 1.75 Daiwa Infinity. They handle WAvon and most conditions on the Wye. Quite fancy a couple of 2lb Torrix though. :)

    Bite alarms for barbel fishing?

    Is the dual range sensitivity worth having? (Ev Plus has single only.) Would be using on rivers only.

    chub

    Out today for a few hours. Had 5 fish, 2 of which were over 4 1/2 lbs. Great fun again. :)

    chub

    Thanks Keith. It was reading your float fishing article that inspired me to have a go. Been out a number of times now and it's very satisfying when you get them going as you know you must have gotten the feeding about right. Had chub to just over 4lb so far and they are great fun on the...

    Yes. Just make sure you pass the tag end back though the right way to finish the knot off.

    John, never had the need too. Started off with the IQ and not had any problems with it so haven't changed.
