Hi Ian I will send you a PM Mike

Hi Alan I will take that if ok? Same payment details as previously?

Funny you should say that Derek but over the years on BFW I consider the majority of members may now come from the Midlands or the North and the number of members from the southern counties appear to be decreasing. I wonder if that has anything to with the decline of the barbel population on...

Hi Phil Interested in your comment re the QD. I some earlier posts I mentioned possibly getting a new Daiwa 24 3012 QD for trotting for chub roach etc Are you happy with the reel apart from the QD for Barbel?

Thanks again for all the input. Graham and Nick for your info I already have a pair of the Stradic 3000S reels which I use for float fishing on lakes paired with my trusty old Graham Phillips Tench Float rods. The Stradics have double handles and I fancy a single handle reel for constant...

Many thanks for all the advice Bit annoyed that I have had several 507s pass through my hands without ever trying them Will probably look out for a TDX or if not a TDR I guess the 3012 size would be the one to go for

I always use centrepins when trotting and absolutely love them. However I have recently started fishing a couple of stretches where I am not a good enough caster with a pin to reach the far tree line. Barbel are not the target fish chub, roach and dace are what I am aiming for. What fixed spool...

I use the ESP pouches and don't find the velcro too much of a problem though it is not perfect. I also have the Drennan pouch but although the idea is good I find that due to iit's rigidity it is very uncomfortable getting in the way when I am bending down unhooking fish or going into my...

Just made donation to the website for Christmas Many thanks and a wonderful festive season to all concerned in the running of the website and to all members of BFW Merry Xmas Mike

I have the Summer Edition 2024 of Barbel Fisher the Barbel Society's publication when I was still a member. I don't keep up to date with them as it seems everything is now done on Facebook and I don't subscribe to that. Mike

It has now been sold Mike

Julian There is one that has just come up on ebay at £199 buy it now I made an offer of £170 but got turned down Mike

Hi Matthew Yes 10mm and yes one thumbscrew missing Below are pics of hole measurement and the slimmest old bankstick I have Click on to enlarge As I stated previously will possibly use it to clamber up and down slippery banks Thanks again

Thanks all Matthew your suggestion may be the closest only problem the hole that is at the top end, not the side hole, is only 10mm I have lots of old slim banksicks but none as thin as 10mm. Anyway will try and take it with me if I am fishing some slippery slopes on the Stour or when anfd if...

Possibly but what goes into the top ?

Going through my boxes of odds and ends I found this. I guess the hole on the side towards the top is for a bar to screw the spike into the ground. There is a hole at the very end but it's only 10mm in diameter which I think is smaller than an umbrella pole so any thoughts please

I will have that Pleasee PM sent
