Thanks for the confirmation. Dumb question alert - why would you use a 1m please ? I thought the whole point of using braid is that you are in direct contact with the weight (plasticine) & bait and the braid allows you to “feel” what’s going on at the business end ?

They look similar but the Drennan looks to have a separate top section which would be useful for smaller items (without having to access the main rucksack). But then the Saber has slots for banksticks which the Drennan doesn’t. The Saber can be had for £45, cheaper when eBay have their 10%...

They also do a standard green one which is the one I use.

Saber Supra Compact Rucksack for me. Perfect for roving as you can clip / strap roll mats and other bits onto it. Used mine for 3 years now and wouldn’t be without it.

Thanks for confirming. Would this be a better alternative please ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274907958881?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=x9i3fqAtQxq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=575178682891&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Taking delivery of a Speedia Wide Drum later this week and looking at some 30lb braid for it to roll some meat. Can anytime advise if this is suitable please specifically @Terry Simner ...

Good find. I love these old videos, no bait sponsorship, no brand sponsorship, no talking about the same rig everyone else uses just simple fishing.

I have the proper Drennan isotopes but the green clips are a pain to use. I’ve just been using these disposable ones from eBay and so far they’re been great...

I’ve tried boilies with little success over the years. This summer I got some John Baker Taste F2 base mix and added some Search 4 flavour and had two barbel on two evenings using them as loose feed. The one thing I do like about boilies is the ease at which you can make them at home which...

It’s the only bait I use to be honest and have 100% confidence in them above all other baits. Shorter hair for Chub, longer hair for Barbel. I know others say “they don’t work” but think they’re just miffed at the barrel shape vs. the original elyptical shape (which I assume became costly to...

Elips x2 glued to a long hair. Small PVA bag with smaller Elips and a couple of homemade boilies as loose feed.

I genuinely thought this was the type of thing he was on about when he said “self hooking” !!!

UPDATE: Barford has just opened

Agreed, and add Lewis’s syndicate in there too as he closed his waters. I’m itching to go fishing but can wait another week, this rain will have helped too putting some cooler water in the rivers.

None on LAA but there was a guy fishing on BAA (2nd peg over the stile) along with the BAA bailiff.

Was passing by and just been to Wasperton LAA (not to fish) and it’s not a pretty sight, not to mention the stench. Two Barbel and several chub without even looking hard and that’s in the first meadow. Likely washed down from upstream and caught on the large overhanging willow. I’ve waited...

ADDAC (Charlecotte) suspended until next Thursday. Some tough decisions being made but the right ones.

Terrible news but positive that they have your ear. What are they thinking then is the cause ? Farmers runoff or sewage dump ?
