    Black pepper spam

    I used the black pepper version a few times and caught on it. In fact I had more fish on this than the garlic version. I might just have a look at my local B+M

    I did the same with spam last season and after bringing the bait in after well over an hour it still had a strong smell.

    13 ft Rods

    I picked up a prototype 13 foot rod labeled 'Leeda Epic Barbel' which turned out to be the Wychwood 13 foot Maximizer rod. A powerful progressive action and very useful on a flooded river with bigger weights.

    1 or 2

    Ironically I'm going back to how I used to fish when I first started targeting barbel, fishing one rod but running the line over my fingers so if I get distracted looking at birds ect I can feel the bite!

    13ft rods ,love them or hate them ?

    Combi rig components

    Hi Mike. I've never 'proved' this, but when fishing small pellets (Single 8mm or 6mm) on the Ouse in summer when its low with little flow I've found the barbel can be a little tricky to catch as you know. With this rig the hair rig and small pellet is attached to a soft 'supple' 3 inch piece of...

    Somewhere down the Crazy River, Jeremy Wade Paul Boote

    He most certainly 'stood out' from the crowd on the old BFW! 🤣 (Very Intelligent, and I'd say 90% of us mere mortals were left scratching our heads with some of his posts!) 😳
