My Grubs are fine, Ive got three pairs and all are a few years old. I suspect just like Muckboots that to save costs the quality decreases over time which may mean the newer ones are not so good, shouldn't be like that but seen it a good few times before.

Top tenching young Bill !!

Keith, join BAA, £40 for the season

id recommend you go 12' on the Severn Daniel, the extra foot will help when its got water on or if you re fishing across in normal conditions.

Drennan twist lock pole and one of these, medium plenty big enough - https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/wychwood-specimen-quickfold-landing-net

and I landed 3 of these too ... this one was 17lb

and this as a new PB at 2lb 12oz

Had a great day today on one of our club carp lakes, decided to fish the float for roach and rudd with the knowledge that the odd zoo creature may turn up. Had lots if fish and some quality roach from 6oz upwards topped by these two .... This one was 2lb 3oz

The thinking anglers is great quality but pretty small, Wychwood do a similar one that slightly larger and great quality too. Personally I don't like the ones that lay flat.

Im on a run of 5 blanks in my last 6 outings. Funny how you can catch in February and blank in May !!

i generally only fish one rod, 4000 or 5000 size reels will be fine Neil.

Hi Daniel, Id recommend you start on the middle Severn, any of the BAA stretches from Bridgnorth down to Bewdley. A simple blockend feeder rig, 2ft hook length with halibut pellet on the hair, fill the feeder with 3mm pellets. Try a few different swims if you are not catching but you should...

Blanked last time out two weeks ago but had 4 today including this best of the day 7.12 beauty !

Tim, saw your post about Letton Court too … the Wye like other spate rivers is wild with steep banks, the pictures you posted look great to me, what did you expect ? I’ve fished Letton numerous times and agree it’s not very clear where to go but it’s a great stretch of water.

i think your approach is sound Ian, at a minimum I always keep my fish in the net when laying on the ground. Mats don't work on sloping banks either so they are not the perfect solution in all cases. I wouldn't lake fish without a mat though, now we have man made "bivvy" swims with not a blade...

changing baits, changing swims, changing where we cast in swim, long hook length, short hook length... in my mind thats just fishing and exploring what may work on any given day. When one of these changes brings immediate results it sometimes feels like intuition but in reality I think its just...

hi chaps, so everybody like a "happy ending" !! Picked up the new top section today foc so thank you Drennan and shout out for Total Fishing Tackle for their great service and supporting me. Now Ive just got to christen the rod with a nice barbus !

back in the early 80s cheese was my go to bait on the Kennet, definitely worked back then !

got an email today saying Drennan are sending me new tip section to the tackle shop, it didn't say specifically free of charge but it didn't mention any cost so Im hoping foc.

quick update chaps .... i took the rod back today and explained what I did (truthfully !!), the chap in the shop examined the rod and said in his opinion it looks like a fault in the blank, he said it looked like a wrap of carbon was missing where it broke, and he thinks Drennan will give me a...
