Now corrected - apologies. Should have been 13th!

Hi all, I've just updated the records list with a new record for the Worc Stour and one for the Mersey Tame. You can see the updated list here: https://barbel.co.uk/rivers/barbel-river-records/ Cheers, Andy

I’ve just updated the BFW river records list with an updated river Lea record at 17lb 12oz. You can see the updated list here: https://barbel.co.uk/rivers/barbel-river-records/ There’s a photo of the whopper on the homepage at the moment as well. Many congratulations to Stuart Biggs the...

Just a note to say that I've just put another 15 medium spoppers in the shop... Spoppers & Baitdroppers Archives - Barbel Fishing World

I was sent this video by a mate as they give BFW a little plug. I've watched it all and think it's a great video in terms of content and production. I can imagine seeing these guys on BBC2 with their own show in a few years time!

Hi all, Does anyone know of anywhere that does maggots/worms through the post? I've just paid through the nose on Willy Worms (£6 delivery!!) to find the bag of maggots split inside the box on arrival. Very poor aftersales service without even offering to refund postage so I won't be using...

Hi all, I've just listed a new standard build i-power in the shop: https://barbel.co.uk/product/bfw-i-power-2lb-tc-12/ There were two (a matching pair) but one got bought before I had a chance to list it :) Cheers, Andy

Thanks chaps 👍

Hi, I'm planning on fishing locally with my boy next week for bits and bobs and need to buy some 3lb line that we can use for both ledgering and float fishing. Does anyone have any recommendations please? Thanks, Andy

The stretch immediately below Kerne Bridge is not available to day tickets, I believe it’s full Worcester members only. I think day tickets can only fish downstream of the canoe launch... The stretch above the church at Symonds Yat has very limited swims and gets absolutely hammered 🙄

Hi all, We now have a supply of large Spoppers in the BFW shop thanks to Richard Isaacs. https://barbel.co.uk/product/large-spopper/ Plenty of stock of the medium size at the moment too. Andy

Hi Paul, I’m so pleased that you’re happy with your new rods, they did look fantastic 🙂 To be honest, it was your commitment to a pair that meant we were willing to pull the trigger on an order of blanks. I hope they both get put through their paces very soon. Cheers, Andy Ps. Alan...yours...

Fresh stock of @Eddie Bray Spoppers now online... https://barbel.co.uk/product-category/spoppers-baitdroppers/ I also have some larger versions on their way thanks to @Richard Isaacs :)

Thanks Richard, I’m super pleased with the quality of the builds from Shane. I’m having a couple of cheeky builds done for myself at the moment 😉

Just a quick note to say that I've just added two more Torrix rods to the rod shop :) A 2lb TC and a 2.25lb TC, both in 12': https://barbel.co.uk/bfw-rods/ We also have a 2.5lb Torrix rod available that I need to take some photos of...let me know if interested... The first two i-powers are...

Hi all, Just to let you know that I've upgraded the version of the software the website runs on (PHP). The last time I did this it caused a couple of issues with image upload on the forum. I've just tested it and it seems OK but if you spot any issues whilst using the website please let either...

I also have a Duralite with the arm rests. It’s a great chair! Really lite and relatively comfy. I’d certainly go for the arm rests for a bit of added luxury. Locking legs are useful and it’s very easy to carry. Cheers, Andy

Hi all, It’s become obvious recently that there are some personality clashes on the forum that are manifesting themselves in public backbiting and tedious arguing. This is a poor advert for the site and is becoming VERY tiresome. During these gloomy and depressing times we need the forum to be...

I took this yesterday whilst out on a run...
