    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    3rd time out with this set up now, for short sessions when I just nip over the fields for 2-3 hrs. Korum roversack which I’m loving, takes a small tackle box/bait/flask/scales etc and unhooking mat strapped to the top plus net and bank stick strapped to the side. Plus Drennan rod sleeve with...

    Interesting bait vid

    I just saw the release of new flavours….the Alar Salar and masala spice sounds interesting

    Daiwa air Z ags 14ft float rod

    Don’t let acolyte tip breakages put you off…did this myself once, completely my fault having it bent at an acute angle whilst unhooking a fish. I’d suggest most acolyte tip breaks are down to user error, they are very capable rods when treated sensibly, the whole range

    Fox Kevlex Extreme Multi tip Rods

    I didn’t realise it was the specialist version….so yes Jim’s right no good for barbel but great chub rod

    Fox Kevlex Extreme Multi tip Rods

    There’s been one on eBay for £750 for yonks…. Not worth anything near that which is why it’s not selling. There lovely versatile rods and I love mine but £240 is probably about the going rate. But ask yourself if you’ll use all 3 tip sections? If yes then might be worth a punt… they will...

    Harrison Advanced Rods

    My advice Russ would be to not rush into a purchase without being 100% sure of your needs. From another post of yours I think you have some good gear that will catch you fish…so spend a season using the gear on the rivers you will target and work out what you think their weaknesses are (if any)...

    Great Ouse stocking

    Undoubtedly many will perish to predation/floods/pollution etc but those that do survive will be just that - survivors, and hopefully attain good weights and naturally reproduce. The restocking policy is not a quick fix but rather a longer term plan for the rivers future. Some of the fish have...

    Ebay

    Selling on eBay has become a bit of a mare IMO, too many chancers, idiots and time wasters. Or at least that’s my experience. However, for buying it can still throw up some bargains, especially when seller has listed an item badly/incorrect or is local pick up only and your willing to travel

    Fish Flix

    Adams mill is very narrow in places, especially the backwater….a good running jump and you’d clear it! To think it was once home to multiple giant barbel that would eclipse many of the Trent biggies is astonishing

    Fish Flix

    It was that film and the Adams mill/kickles one that got me subscribing, brought back lots of fond memories whilst I can’t get out myself recovering from a hernia op ….have been impressed with the quality of the content so far, for the cost of a beer or two it’s worth it IMO
