I'm commenting here without actually having tested my view... But for a couple of years now I've carried a leader straightener as used by fly fisherman. Mine has three sets of pads within it ranging in suppleness with each generating various degrees of heat as the leader / line is drawn through...

So... Eric's has gone the same way as fosters... Climax... And so many others. I don't have anything against Angling Direct. Though I'm not exactly comfortable with all the independents joining these ranks. I suppose I should be happy that the business is still going as a viable concern...

Abit random I know...but... My 'antique' Wychwood crimp tool has finally given up the ghost and needs replacing. I already have the latest fox predator tool but that one has 'toothed' jaws. If anyone has the korda one, if they could confirm if it has either the smooth or toothed jaws I can get...

They are no longer listed on the drennan Web site and I've actually ordered twice now from stores online only to have my payment returned several days after. No comments... Just a refund. Other online retailers have the 'out of stock' on their listings. I know I've been a little lazy with...

The ones I had / have in mind featured the round top ring with angle lock and v drop. Rectangle bottom rings with either the last 3 or so being of a carp sack material in the micro mesh version or indeed full carp sack in the other.

Abit of a long shot I know... I'm looking to replace a drennan super specialist keepnet after mine was swiped as I had it drying at the top of the bank. I'd consider any in the range, 8' or 10' carp or micro mesh.

Is this still available?

There is a certain irony when someone employed in a industry to promote products for retail and as a writer, craves an ever expanding audience to deliver their opinions to... Then complains about the popularity of it and how it impacts on their own enjoyment.

I can remember reading a article by Bob in which he stated that his barbel rods were the daiwa infinity but the reels were whatever daiwa sent him. Kind of makes his point about tackle choice irrelevant when his is governed by the marketing department.

Has anyone any experience of using the kastking super power braid? I've come across it on ebay and the moss green, 15lb breaking strain on a 150 yard spool seems like a very, If not too reasonable a priced product. Delivered for £3.68! And that's from more than one distributor. The techno bumf...

How long ago was that? I only ask as att used to have a Web site dedicated to att alarms as well as there affiliation with Gardner. They used to market mods and alterations on most alarms but I haven't been able to locate this site for 5 years or so

With the previous bite alarm threads running, I was reminded of a slight issue with one of my alarms. Nothing to serious, but the leds on one alarm just didn't seem as bright as my others when in 'run' mode. This was far more noticeable when in the night light function and wasn't a result of...

Ive just remembered. When I purchased my first set of dedicated carp rods (Sundridge kortina carp) I also purchased a set of Sundridge kortina reels. These resembled the early shimano bait runners at the time being front drag with the free spool facility. How ever. They came with a clever little...

Further to the bite alarm recommended thread. It got me thinking about my past alarms. As I type this Im strugging to think of a bad experience I've ever had with any of them as with regard to reliability and I'm going back to the late 80s. My first alarms, the optonic hi tone, i think these...

I don't get the point about that particular alarm being problem free for a number of reasons... Firstly - it's basic! is the fact that it's so basic a plus point against any other modern alarm? I respect your devotion to them but by stating the bomb proof reliability point, your kind of...

At the risk of offending att users.... DON'T DO IT!! If the att cost around £10 then you could say that you are getting value for money but I'm guessing your going to pay around £50 for a att head then similar amount for a sounder box. Back in the day, that may have been good value for a remote...

I think that we are spoilt for choice at the moment with regard to bite alarms. If you can move past the 'historic' fox and Delkim debate some of the ranges out now offer amazing value when you consider the features they have. Those of which you will pay top money for from the likes of fox and...

I think it's worth bearing in mind that a mini pit reel isn't necessarily the best option as a pairing to a traditional barbel rod. Having a smooth drag won't help when your line wraps over your butt ring on the cast and you crack off!
