    Not a good start (snapped rod)

    Was in garage last night buried some ceiling rod storage and stopped for the Euros first game. In there this morning and moved rod bag to look for something. Rod slipped out, caught my 2 tonne worktop vice (not secured) with the line and the rod fell to the floor with the vice falling 4ft on...

    High backed chair options

    Am doing a few more overnighted this season and whilst I love my Fox Ultralite it has zero neck support for longer sessions. Anyone got any further options to add to the following list please around £100: JRC Defender II Relaxa Recliner Arm Chair Sonik Bank-TEK Recliner Armchair

    Angling crossroads.

    Try to find stretches of rivers that have weekly club matches. You will find that they have secure wooden pegs and that most of the difficult pegs will be kept tidy / steps cut in to allow easy access for the match anglers. You’ll likely struggle to fish on a Saturday (matches) but if you’re...

    Thanks for the feedback all. I’ve gone with the Leeda one as it looks pretty solids

    Weed cutter with bank stick screw fitment

    Wanted Nash ultralite chair

    Have a look at the Fox Duralite. No carry strap but can be easily clipped onto a rucksack.

    Hinders of Swindon - great service

    Yeah I had the same. Looks like they removed it when this offer is on. No biggy as £4 is pretty reasonable for delivery I think.

    Good stuff. Shame the “free delivery” offer wasn’t combined with the 15% discount.

    Hinders of Swindon - great service

    Their moulding machine broke and was not economical to repair or replace hence the revised barrel shape. Still the same recipe and still catches fish. Had all my chub / barbel on x2 superglued together on a hair the last few seasons. It’s the one bait I won’t leave home without.

    Solid pva bag fishing

    I find them a faff especially as you have to perforate them otherwise they float to the surface and end up miles downstream. I personally stick with PVA mesh bags and / or a stringer (if using boilies).

    Making your own bait.

    I’ve always thought green would be a decent colour for bait. I know 3FT do one but don’t know of many others.

    July Wye trip

    Does anyone know how to get in touch with Stan please? I’ve tried to join the FaceBook group but my request never goes through. I’m booked on the W&U in Sept (Foy and Creel) for 3-days but we have a 4th day still free and looking to go somewhere different. Sorry for the thread hijack.

    Fishing a low stocked water

    I primarily fish the Avon around Warwick, mainly because I don’t have much time on my hands and I can be on the bank within <15mins for a few hours fishing in the evening. I know it has declined in the last 6-years but it took me two years to get a book so I’m buggered if I’m not going to use...
