    Collingham Trent !

    Firstly, congratulations to the captors of both of these impressive Tidal Trent barbel. I think it likely however that they aren’t the same fish. The tail of the fish in John’s image is very distinctive and not like the one in the boat shot. The position of the red blemish also appears to be...

    Changing the bearings on a J W Young centrepin?

    Bill and Neil. I confess that I haven’t done the bearings on a Purist but several BJ’s and some TFG Classics. On the BJ’s both inner and outer bearings are the same size. To remove the outer bearing(furthest from backplate) I’ve not removed the end float screw but worked from the other side...

    Changing the bearings on a J W Young centrepin?

    Hi Neil. I have successfully replaced the bearings in several Youngs centrepins. Using external circlip pliers the circlip retaining the toothed ratchet wheel is normally removed quite easily. I fit hybrid ceramic bearings to my reels and I feel that they transform their performance. Normally...

    Hi Eddie. I’ve had one of these from new, probably 25+ years and have always regretted not having a pair. Would you consider posting one to Kent.🤞

    if you were going to treat yourself ?

    Hi John. You’ve mentioned these before and as a long term Harrison user they’ve caught my interest. Are they available yet or are you still testing prototypes. What’s your opinion of them , what is the casting capacity. They are obviously suitable for the TT, but I wonder just how much more...

    It appears that LAA have suspended day tickets for Britford due to the pandemic. Not clear if/when they may be available again☹️

    Polarized glasses

    Like many of my age😱, I’m a prescription glasses wearer and cheap off the shelf Polaroid’s are not an option. Currently each change of prescription see’s me relieved of £250 plus for a new pair of fishing sunnies. On recommendation, I invested in a pair of Cocoon Aviator overfit glasses which...

    Want solar bobbin

    Lee. I had another look at the Tackle Box Solar bobbins on offer. There are indeed Glo bobbins that are battery powered, but also various sizes of the Classic bobbins which I have used for twenty odd years. They are hollow allowing an isotope to be inserted Apologies if that isn’t what you’re...

    Keith Speer

    A devastating loss to the sport. Keith achieved so much and was admired by so many.I was fortunate enough to share a few cups of tea from the boot of my car. An all round nice guy. Condolences to his family and friends.

    BFW Grayling Fish-In

    Thoroughly enjoyable day. The fishing was tougher than hoped for and the wind a bit of a challenge . The event however was a great success socially and a good laugh later in the pub. It was good to put faces to names and I hope that there are similar events in the future . Thanks to all who...
