Know what you mean….i stumbled on her channel and thought wtf! Strange way to make money!!!!

Am sure some locals will give you some up to date advice, but until covid me and a group of mates would holiday in Bridgnorth every year for a week in September.We would buy the BAA ticket, good value even at £40ish. Have fished most of the BAA stretches, my favourites being Knowle Sands...

I have done a bit of sea fishing nd agree that his videos are entertaining. Not always just fishing, some are quasi travel videos when he holidays in exotic places with his family and some about foraging etc.. He is, i believe, the current UK shore bass record holder, unless it has been beaten...

Thanks Terry, but believe you are referring to the nets that fold for carrying/storing, rather than the fast net wading type nets that unfold when you need to net a fish.

Thanks guys, back to the drawing board I think based on your comments about the Korum Fastnet :p

Brian, was that the standard folding spoon or was it the fast net like this? Ive been considering one of the latter for wading.

Sorry guys, just found a thread asking the same question......didn't check first! Mods can delete this if necessary.

Looking to try for barbel on the float this year, which will involve some wading and using a 14' rod with a pin. I'm after advice or recommendations for a collapsible landing net. Options seem to be the fixed handle type trout nets, which seem too small, or at least too short in the handle, or...

No, yesterday 😝. Last session for a while I think 😫

I have just read about this too. Looks like they are moving to a scheme similar to Vinted, where the buyer pays a compulsory fee to give them buyer protection. Think this will be included in the item price so won't affect the seller. I have bought a couple bits from Vinted and never had any...

Despite the title of the thread, I know lots of posts on here are more about centre pins and trotting, so please indulge me for a minute as I share a pic of a roach I caught on the 2nd ever time I used a centrepin. Have always fancied trying one but never have until I picked up a cheap Marco...

Chris, If you are considering a 17' Acolyte, my mate, Lee Backshall might have one for sale https://barbel.co.uk/forum/threads/possible-rod-sale.22335/

Easy enough modification, just a 5 minute job to who the side panel off and remove the part!

Interesting thread. Lee (Backshall) and I often fish together and we are both thinking about a float rod to use for barbel. However, we fish the Ribble which is (a) snaggy and (b) has big barbel. I see a few recommend power match type rods, but I would be concerned with using them, although to...

Are those Acolyte ones armour plated to try and stop the rods from snapping? :D:D:D

Agree with a lot of the comments, there is clearly an overlap of designs and styles, but bolognese style fishing is essentially the ability to fish a top and bottom float at range where stick floats and avons cannot cope with that range. As mentioned earlier, bolo fishing traditionally involves...

Kevin Ellis.......legend & maker of some brilliant videos. Love watching his exploits in France, especially Rainbow, catching mega carp. Very amusing guy too.

https://www.animatedknots.com/albright-knot Thats how I tie mine. Can be fiddly until you have mastered it. Key is making sure the line comes out of the loop in the same way as you started it, otherwise it unwinds when you tension the knot. I wrap the braid around the mono, normally about 10...

I used to work for Natwest in Devon and knew and fished with Neil Grant for a few years for NatWest's angling team and saw him regularly on the local match scene. I also knew Geoff and frequented his shop in Exeter. He loved fishing the Tiverton canal - I was Treasurer of the controlling club...
