    Wanted: John Wilson avon quiver - quiver section only

    I reckon you'll need to specify which mode/model/iteration of JW Avon quiver George .... unless the "boxed" version is something quite specific. I've got 2 very old (green) Masterline JW Avon/Quiver rods that I've not used for 20yrs+. It's the postage that's stopped me getting rid of them.

    Happy New Year and .....

    I hope 'my' rivers (Severn & Teme especially), and all 'your' rivers, have a better and cleaner time of it in 2025 than they did in 2024. All the very best to you all.

    Gamma POLYFLEX High Performance Copolymer Line

    Dunno Rich ...it's seems a bit of an oddball really. It seems to be highly rated by US bass fishermen and the only negative comment I've found is from one reviewer who said it was 'a bit stretchy', which could lead you to believe that it's most probably not a pre-stretched mono. But maybe that...

    Sending a rod .

    ....and so it's all the more amazing that Club 2000 (Dudley) can and will supply you with 2 Korum 2.5lb/12ft rods for £80 + £9.99 p/p.

    Gamma POLYFLEX High Performance Copolymer Line

    Has anyone on here had any experience of using this line (as sold by Pallatrax). I'm interested in the abrasion resistance vs limpness/softness perspective, as most/all lines with high abrasion resistance tend to be quite 'springy'. HAPPY CHRISTMAS, ONE & ALL!!

    Pimp My Chair (Trakker Nano)?

    I've extended the legs on one of mine and put removeable rear 'spikes' (to rest on/stick into steep banks behind)...and pleased with the result.

    Korum 2.5lb/12ft rods

    A pair of brand new Korum 2.5lb/12ft rods, for use in the mud pits, delivered today ....for £90 all in :p 👍 (Thanks to info from Dave Mez ... c'mon, join us on BFW!!) N.b...they're slimmer than the photos look (not a la F/S Hi-S!) but they DO feel well beefy. We'll see eh.

    Thanks Terry, but I think I'm sorted now. 👍 ATB

    Korum 2.5lb/12ft rods

    I'm thinking of getting a pair of these rods for when there's 3-5m of extra water on the Lower Severn, I'm over my ankles in mud, and 4-6oz may be necessary to hold bottom. Any thoughts on these?? I've never even handled any Korum rod so, to anyone that owns one of these rods ... how wide is the...

    Freespirit Hi S SU 12ft/1.75lb pimped rod (pair)

    Hi All, I've had a pair of these put aside for selling next close season (when the market's better), but if there's any fully paid up member on here that's thinking about buying themselves a pair for Xmas .... they'll know that you can't buy a pair new for under £730. Plus you'll know that...

    Ok, I own up .... it was me (from the Teme). Photo to follow .....eventually.:p

    What bait?🤔

    I agree Mike, but I'm not sure that Garlic Spam was any better than today's Spam + garlic (that we might add). I don't see how it can be really. Maybe, when it was first used by anglers on rivers, it caught so well because it was novel to fish. Then there's 'Confirmation Bias' ... in that we...

    What bait?🤔

    If you're on the Lower Severn at night and you've got feeding barbel in front of you, then you'll catch (or at least get a take from) using any of the above, plus Severn favourites including Red Robin, Ambush, Questrami, etc etc...or maybe a straight halibut pellet with or without being dunked...

    A very chilly Stanford Bridge, with the Teme over the banks and in the trees. Not tempted.

    Ray Walton Centrepins

    You're talking about £250-280 in really good condition, and ~£280 for "mint". The rosewood might push that to £300 ... more easily so in May/early June when angler are thinking more about the forthcoming season.
