    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    Fishing the lower Severn on a summer's evening a few years ago it had been dark for an hour or so and a light mist was forming in the river valley. I heard youthful voices coming from the direction of the car park a couple of fields away and saw bobbing lights from a couple of mobile phones...

    Advice for River Severn

    Not sure what opening times the office keep these days but I'd be calling before 2-30 to be on the safe side if you need a code.....

    For Sale Pair of Mitchell FS 7000 Black

    Good to see you again yesterday to collect the reels. They're very nice. I'm looking forward to giving them a workout on some French catfish - hopefully! Thanks! Ps:please stop selling great gear-I have too much already.

    Isotopes

    I changed rods at Christmas and endured endless problems with line looping over the Enterprise holder when it was between the tip and first ring on the new rods. I then repositioned it on the tip ring - where you have put yours. Just like magic, I've had no more tangles.

    Normark repair - help sought

    Hi Richard. I don't think that's right as long long ago I built a 12ft normark float rod for my dad that came with two tips as described above. It had sliding plastic reel collars on a Cork handle with a plastic end cap, a hollow carbon tip and a spliced carbon tip. The joints also had stainless...

    Fishing line change

    Or, if you don't want to go to the park or break out the calculator and you have a garden, you could just use distance sticks set 12ft apart and go around them in a figure of 8 25 times for 100 yards. Then wind the line onto your reel spool. If you find it's under or over filled, wind it back...

    Gudgeon rod

    Only because in your OP you said 'And for some reasons I would like to have a rod dedicated for gudgeon'. For me, a rod without a reel isn't a rod, it's a pole or whip :)

    Gudgeon rod

    Could make your own 'Gonk Slayer' by ringing up a short whip and adding a reel seat. Choose a cheap, soft actioned model with a spliced glass tip and look forward to putting an alarming bend in it with a 2ozer

    Powapacs - Avoid !

    Wish I could find one to fit Ozito cordless tool batteries! I suspect that one for another brand would fit but I can't seem to work out what that might be.

    In Praise of good service!

    Must be an embedded culture in Daiwa. Whilst in Australia a few years back a mate had an issue with his top end multiplier and sent it to Daiwa for repair. It came back fixed with a note that it looked like it had been previously opened and had been fitted with counterfeit parts that had...
