    Finally….., what looks like a great river chair

    Can the Korum compact chair be folded flat for transport??.. Or would it be a case of removing the legs to make it more flat??

    Losing your mojo?

    I've been suffering the same results but on midland rivers ( dove Derwent Soar) and even the Trent of late. I kind of asked a similar question and it was suggested to me that I needed to fish with a moving bait as opposed to sitting behind a pair of rods pointing sky wards as use to be the way...

    trotting rod

    Hi Mike I also have the 13ft compact plus and found this can struggle with decent chub on the river Dove Which is kind of why I asked the question. As I said in my post its not as if I want to just take a chance a £200+ rod. I've been looking at the Korum Glide 12 to 14ft and at around £80 I...

    trotting rod

    Is the Drennan Acolyte plus 15ft float rod up to trotting for barbel??. I've heard people say they use them but I own one and I'm not sure. You could say go and try it but it's an expensive way to find if its not.

    Wanted Drennan series 7 1.25 Avon/ quiver

    Neil can a local tackle shop get you a pair from drennan. You can't deal with Drennan directly and to find a pair of second hand ones sounds a bit of a long shot. good luck either way.

    Nash barbel elite 2lb rods

    £190 does sound over the top to me. If I remember right they were £80 each when they first came out which is some years ago now. I got mine like I said from Climax tackle and they were end of line then so I got them at £40 Each. As I've also said they are good rods .. I've got a pair of Greys X...

    Nash barbel elite 2lb rods

    I sold a pair of 1.75tcs a few years back but missed them so much I've now got a pair back. Very nice rods and a nice slim blank. As Joe says probably one of the best value rods ever made. My first ones I got from Climax tackle for £40 each and paid more than that to replace them. I've also got...

    Trotting for barbel

    I've been barbel fishing for 20 odd years but never trotted for them so if you don't mind I have a question.. I suppose there could be plenty of different answers but let's see. I just need to know do you fish the bait way over depth to drag it along the bottom or just dragging bottom or is it...

    Korum S23 Chair

    Is anyone on here using the Korum S23 Chair?. I've just had a look at one in go out doors but can,t quite make my mind up and at £107 I want to be as sure as possible that it'll do the job.. Are they good on sloping river banks for instance. It does seem a bit bulky but not to heavy.. Any input...

    Best 12ft low water/small barbel rod?

    Free spirit Barbel Seeker. I have the 12ft 1.75tc but had it custom made . Only two things different to off the rack. I had a shorter handle (free spirit rods are about 20inches from reel stem to end of but) mine is only 16inches and a hook keeper whipped on. the long handle may make it easier...

    Slipping chair and/or bedchair legs - any solutions/fixes?

    I've just stripped down and refitted the spring and locking plate on my Chub hi-lite chair and it is just a case of slipping the spring and plate out of the plastic holder and they do just slip straight back in

    Slipping chair and/or bedchair legs - any solutions/fixes?

    The spring & plate make it sound just like my chair.. It is easy to take it apart and refit,, I've just received two new lengths of tube to replace the front legs on my chair which is a job I'll be doing on Sunday morning so if I remember I'll take pictures and post them on here for you.
