Cheers guys. I reckon I am going to go for the Gardner HydroFlo. It ticks everything I want the line to do. Small barbel in a small snaggy river and double figure carp from equally snaggy little mill ponds and small reservoirs. Just going to leave it on a spool attached to an 11ft Avon...

Hi, Having trouble sticking on a decent 8lb mono. Could some of you lads suggest some brands you swear by? Thanks a lot

ha!

Hello, This is going to sound a littlestrange I think, but if it doesnt, then ignore that. Im looking for a unhooking mat for smaller species, say fish up to about 8lb (tench, chub, roach, you get the picture), so I would ideally like the mat to be smaller in size, any suggestions? A...

As in the title, its brand new and never been used. 2 Piece of course... Acquired it thinking I would need it, but I don't. £75 ONO. Not taking into account postage if required :rolleyes: PM me!

Ive got a brand new Korum neoteric 1.75lb quiver/avon rod, its 12 ft?

Casters/Red Maggots like a few other have said, but if plagued with small fish, you cant beat a pellet....

I have been trying to catch some of the ghost carp that live in a large mill pond. They're easy to locate in amongst the other commons and mirrors, and its been difficult with the temperature being all over the show, but, as yet, they are proving infuriating. I've had commons/mirrors shallow...

Yeah its good advice and one i may adopt in the future. Im relatively new this chasing chub so its good to have many different opinions and adapt them to suit yourself, i think anyway :):rolleyes:

Cheers for those ideas guys. I'll check out all the ones i can before making a decision. Albert, I've had some bites from Dane chub that will pretty much pull your rod in, but there are times Iv had to hit the merest 'twitch' thats resulted in similar sized chub. Just saying i'd like to cover...

You see, i suggested this to the guy in a local tackle shop only an hour or two ago and he put me off, saying it wouldn't work. Well, i guess he just lost hiself a sale. I 'll buy a preston tip and give it a go, thanks for the advice Gary

Hi fellas, Quick question, does anybody know where I can purchase a glass tip section or donkey top so i can make a nice sensitive tip for chub? i have a korum neoteric 12' quiver and the carbon tips are fine but not for mr chub. want to make one or two push in's out of said material but...

the Devil?

good point Mick Made some today following the recipe colin gave, and funnily enough, I used my fridge temp to get it just right, and at room temp is was a lot softer and not as sticky as before cooling it off. bloody stinks as well! :D

Yeah i did! :p I grated it all up as well to help with the mixing. I take it that this is ok to do? The 'recipe' I normally use is ok, but tends to turn out on the softer side. So as soon as you get any water on or a faster section of water, it tends to not last too long on the hook, or at...

thanks a lot for that, yeah I resorted to cornflower still, I'll try your quantities next time :)

dont mean to hijack this, but 8oz shortcrust pasty, 4oz cheddar how much blue? I knocked some up to this a few days ago, though didn't have a weight for the cheeses, think I put to much blue in as it went really sticky...

That was my old mans suggestion too, but as yet, I have not been able to track one down. Thanks for the replies though guys.

thanks for that, I know what you mean but didn't think of those. I'll take a look at them at the weekend hopefully. Keep 'em coming guys... :)

Hello, I know not strictly barbel orientated (more finicky chub), but can anybody share any tips/places to buy so I can make a really sensitive quiver tip? Any material recommendations also? Never made a tip before before so sorry if this all seems vague and amateurish! :D Thanks in advance...
