I am a club bailiff and believe me it’s a frustration. I have to say that most though not all are willing to listen and most will return fish if pressured to do so. Contrary to popular belief not all offenders are Eastern European, neither are they the most difficult to deal with, that award...
Hi Andy, unfortunately unless precluded by local bylaws he is allowed to remove a number of fish daily, this includes silver fish and barbel. It’s against everything that most British anglers would understand as we fish mainly for sport, however I have seen English anglers doing exactly the same...
Hi Nic.
You’re welcome and it was nice to meet up again. I’m pleased you like the reels, they’re incredibly powerful and I suspect will be ideal for catfish. I’m looking forward to seeing you advertising the 13’ 2.75’s??
Unfortunately "reasonable" is a subjective view and to most of us that would include a degree of common sense and courtesy to fellow anglers. To some, and fortunately they seem to be a minority the attitude is "I have a right to do what I want and to hell with what anyone else thinks!" On one of...
I’m offering for sale this pair of rods. They are full cork, isotopes in reel seats and in very good condition with original bags. These rods have a very through playing action and have coped admirably with barbel of 14lb plus.
I looked at the chimera’s and the freespirits but bought a pair of Torrix 2.25. I felt that they had a more active tip than the chimera’s but once loaded bent right into the butt in the same way. Probably not as good for fishing tight to snags but overall a rod I’m likely to get more use from. I...
Hi Graham, not at all, the accommodation has about half a mile of “exclusive”? Fishing, plus about a mile I think of shared with Angling escapades. I was hoping someone may have first hand information I’ve never fished that far up the river.
Morning all, has anyone any insight into this fishery, I’m stopping on it for a week early October I’ve looked at google earth and found a couple of videos I think have been done on it. I was hoping someone may actually have fished it. Thanks I’m anticipation. Kevin
Me neither when I first bought them, I even considered re ringing because the blank is really nice. In all honesty I think the lighter rings and fewer whippings actually make the rod action nicer than my 2.75
Hi Ray they are new style. I have the old in 2.75 and I think that the current blank is just as good. Rings are different on the new one if you’re interested I will add photos tomorrow though in all honesty the rods are like new.
Hi for sale are my 2.25 Test 12' Powermesh Barbel rods. Excellent condition. £160 for the pair, in the original bags. I live about 20 minutes from Peterborough but may be able to meet within reason.
Thanks Richard once again for the response. I fully agree with what you say. I’ll keep searching, a second hand pair of the 2.25 seekers would I think also do the job.
