I get the thinking, but just don’t agree ! Think of it this way, at one end you have the fishes lip the other you you have the reels clutch, and in between the line, maybe mono, maybe braid, depending on breaking strain of tge line, and the stretch or lack of it, the setting of the clutch, and...

Going against the grain here, but sorry doesn’t make sense to me at all !

Photos can be very misleading, but I do agree it looks suspiciously small for 22lb ! 😲 for comparison the fish I'm holding in my Avatar is 16lb 8oz, if it's a genuine mistake then he hasn't caught many Barbel , if his claim of weight is deliberately false then as has been said, he's only fooling...

Welcome Lee, you'll like it on here I'm sure

Moth Chrysalis, if you keep it it will hatch .... Great bait by the way ;)

Then that's the one I'd be after ;)

Got to have one !👍

I didn’t realise that Richard ! I have 5, 4 & ah batteries I use for ky Milwaukee tools, two of the 4ah’s are 8 years old used and charged every day, and still going strong, but I never realised I could use an adaptor to charge my phone, I have got a few power packs that I charge from when...

And on the hair

May not have been different fish, Could’ve been one very wary Barbel snatching at the bait, try back leading if possible to avoid potential liners, if your hair is long try shortening it, and use a different meat, it doesn’t have to be luncheon hair rigged beefburger works well

Well with 5 Barbel in two hours you don’t seem to be doing too bad !!!

The Barbel won’t nessesarily feed in any particular line, they’ll feed wherever they find food to their liking, if you’re using maggots you’ll need at least 3 pints for an average session, you’ll have to make a rough judgement as to where to feed your maggots if you can’t see where they fall...

Personally I think when they roll they’re taking fry or other water life from near the surface, I’ve watched them chasing minnows and fry, and at the point they take them they always roll upside down

Get well soon Roger, my best wishes .

Hope you all had a great Christmas, and ate and drank too much ! .... I did :p🤣

I've said it before, anglers everywhere need to unite, and refuse to pay the EA rod license, the money we would pay should go to a fighting fund to pay the fines of those prosecuted, this is wanton criminal vandalism sanctioned by a Government office, we could make our voice heard if we all...
