    Whats best recent bit of tackle you have bought ?

    Shimano XTB 10000 SPOD reel. Had one for Xmas. So impressed for £55 from angling direct I bought a second to go on a marker rod.

    Just got a fine from last september. Paid on line. Just been over for a weeks carping which turned into a (blanking) camping trip. No brexit issues whatsoever.

    Maggot feeder tangling issues.

    Another vote for anti tangle sleeves and feathering the cast before impact. Would just add that whatever you opt for, please consider the safety aspect for the fish and ensure that the fish can drop the feeder/weight if the mainline breaks.

    Work parties

    Mark, I'm in one club that stipulates 2 work parties per year if you want to retain membership. Another club has one compulsory work party with an option to pay £10 if you don't want to attend.

    Delkim - excellent service

    Just for balance, I sent an, admittedly old, TXI delkim back for a latching problem. 'Sorry, we don't stock parts for that model' was the Delkim response. It wasn't what I wanted to hear. Got it sorted by the guy at ATT. Works fine now. Pretty poor by Delkim really.

    How long does your luggage last ?

    I use a rod sling that I bought from Fosters circa 1987 when he used to buy them from a local guy. It's had a couple of modifications and some extra velcro but is otherwise the original model. Perfect for what I want!

    Help Needed to identify a Normark Float Rod

    I have a 12ft Normark float or match rod which has two tips; a spliced carbon tip and a hollow carbon tip. Both the male and female spigots have a stainless steel band and the cork handle had 'reel fit' plastic winch fittings. The rod is probably 20 - 30 years old and I'd be interested to...
