If ever I need a bit of special gear like rods or reels or something out of the ordinary I always drive up to Walkers. Its only about 40 minuets away.

I use two super glued together. I actually chose the Sticky ones over the sonu bait ones I thought how simular they were to the Hinders ones.. My local shop had both sonu & Sticky at the time. I just use the sticky now.

I need a new light chair but also need some height to the seat because of my dodgy knees these days. I've got a chub Hi-Lite at the moment which I've has for a lot of years but it has seen its best days now. Can anyone recommend a High light chair. I've had a look at the Korum one but with my...

As a couple of people have said.. Have a look at the free spirit range before you make your mind up.. The Barbel Seeker is a fantastic rod.. I had one built about 4 years ago by Roger Hurst who builds most of the free spirit rods for the trade..

Really enjoying reading this thread. I can see similarities in three rivers I fish. The river Soar in Leicestershire the Derbyshire Derwent and the Dove. They got so bad I stopped fishing for barbel but this season things seem to be slowly changing for the better. I've had three barbel sessions...

I use to carry a camera around with me but now just use my phone. Most modern Samsungs have voice operated take facility but if you've got a phone that doesn't have voice operation you can get the app called whistle cam. Some say that whistle cam doesn't take very good pictures but I've took...
