    Hormones getting into fish.

    Many years ago there was a report that oestrogen, from the contraceptive pill, was changing roach in a northern river from male to female, impacting on spawning. Heard very little about it since and don’t know whether it was genuine or not. These days you don’t seem to hear about such things as...

    Flask

    Apologies for resurrecting this thread but I’ve just bought a Thermos King 1.2l flask in our local Home Sense shop for £19.99, which seems like a bargain price to me. They had several others in various colours and you may find them in your local T K Maxx too, as that is the parent company of...

    Harrison Acurix 12’ 2.5 custom x 2 “now reduced Again to silly price . “SOLD”

    Adam, The builder’s notes say they are 2.25 tc but your ad header says 2.5. Which is correct? Not interested in the rods but just wouldn’t want anyone to buy them thinking they are more powerful than they actually are. Dave

    River Lot, France

    I seem to recall that there was a strongly held difference of opinion in a discussion within this forum. Perhaps that is the reason they have left? IIRC, both seemed to be aggrieved at some of the comments made…. Dave

    The best part is that they’ll usually charge the earth and then refuse to insure it, so why take the risk?! Dave

    Torrix / ACURIX

    Each to their own, Paul. I picked up an MB Drennan barbel rod in a closing down sale a few years back and absolutely hated it. Stiff as a poker. Much prefer a more through actioned rod as I generally don’t have to cast to the horizon or use weights over 2 - 3oz on my local rivers. Dave

    12’ crystalite or 11’ ultra float

    From a practicality point of view, if the 11’ rod will do the job why bother with a longer rod which may not get you into all the swims you want to cover?🙂 Dave
