Ooops - apologies, I completely missed that. Should be sorted now...Can I remember to update it next season...?!

I love GR60 and have total confidence in it. Steer clear of the GR60x - I found it to be very inconsistent.

Hi all, I now have a fresh stock of Spoppers now available in the shop. https://barbel.co.uk/product/spopper/ Cheers, Andy

You're right Ash! I could smell him from the next swim!! It did seem to have instant impact though I'd imagine it wouldn't take long to 'blow' at the flavour/glug levels he was using...

Thanks Richard. I have tried a rolling service before (not the one you mentioned). We gave them hundreds of pounds worth of high quality milk protein base mix that we'd sourced and put together ourselves, and said rolling service over boiled ALL the boilies! We ended up with kilos and kilos...

I know you're probably right Rich, and it does make perfect sense, I'm just after an easier life at the moment...

Thanks Ash - my mate has used a Baitworks product with a bit of success, not the flavour you mentioned. His absolutely stank!!! Not a subtle bait though I think he was glugging it too. Is the Atlantic heat heavily flavoured? Cheers, Andy

I'm pleased to say that this pair of i-powers has just sold :) And we've got an order for another matching pair with identical spec! I have just listed a new standard build 11' 2lb TC Torrix in the Shop: https://barbel.co.uk/product/bfw-torrix-2lb-tc-11ft-11/ Cheers, Andy F

Hi all, I know this question has been asked a thousand times before but I'm keen to get an up to date view on it if possible? In recent times I've made my own boilies/chopups from John Baker base mixes and flavours that I've got total confidence in. Life is super busy at the moment and I could...

We used to sell LOADS of barbel books. The Trevor West one sold well and also all the Tony Miles books. There seems to be a huge gap in the market as I’m not aware of a recent ‘how to’ book being released for many years. Maybe there’s not quite the market or interest these days to make it...

See my reply above. I've just looked through some old (15 year) quotes/invoices and we were selling single tip rods for up to £350 even back then...

Have you bought a Harrison blank recently? The blank alone comes in at over £100. Add in the cost of all the other (quality) components plus epoxy and other sundries and you're at around £250. Now take out the cost to take an online payment fee which will be around £10. That leaves £80 for the...

Hi all, I've just listed to new matching i-powers in the BFW shop, available separately as well. https://barbel.co.uk/home/shop/ Cheers, Andy

I stumbled across this old Great Universal catalogue page from 1978 on social media earlier and thought might interest some...

Yes - that's correct Steve. Many thanks for the order. Andy

Would the heavier Torrix rods be contenders for you Marcus? My mate built me a 2.5lb Torrix for Christmas but I've not used it yet. Has anyone else used the heavier Torrix for flood water barbel fishing? Cheers, Andy

I've been using this after someone (Hatter?) recommended it: https://barbel.co.uk/product/gardner-ultra-skin/ It's my preferred option these days...

Hi @Huanzhou Zhu , It's definitely on there though I've just cleared the website cache in case that was causing a problem. Here's a direct link: https://barbel.co.uk/product/bfw-torrix-1-75lb-tc-11ft-10/ Cheers, Andy
