I think it's been hard ( and expensive) to get Chew tickets for a number of years, but apparently it was the lucky captors first visit , so hope does spring eternal. Love it or loathe it, they must be doing it right at Chew, as no other water comes close to producing the amount and stamp of...

Always at war with mice in my tackle shed. Can never let your guard down. Exactly as Jon Frisby says.

Mono for me on ledger rigs for all the reasons mentioned But I like braid when float fishing for barbel

My good friend used snag & flood until he used a chimera 3 and immediately ordered a pair and has never considered reverting back He only fishes the Swale

I shared with my mate who’s after some and exactly that- just rotten timing Thing is he’d like them but doesn’t need them Close season they’d have gone in a flash They’ll still go

£275each - standard build is £295 plus the wait Absolute bargain. If i didn't have 2 pairs already I'd snap your hand off.

Reminiscent of a 1970s blockbuster.. " Swim charlie swim, don't look back Charlie, swim...." I bet he felt alive after that.

Doesn’t matter what DL rod I use , they’re not catching owt. So to keep me company on those slow days I like a radio and as I keep separate bags for barbel & pike and only one radio - it invariably ends up in the wrong bag Santa brought me a nice radio which looks champion as loads of ways to...

For what it’s worth I’ve just got in after an interesting day. Went for a days chubbing and got a 3lber However this was sandwiched by a 10-7 and 7-12 Yorkshire barbel , fat as pigs and fighting as hard as they did in the summer. River was fining , but still pushing through Tamed both on a...

I had a 320d with run flats and the ride would remove fillings it was that brutal. Same issues with just a powdering of snow and RWD but.. some decent snow tyres made a huge difference. So often overlooked.

Nothing material but I could really do with a health pass from Santa having had Covid, pneumonia, norovirus and to cap it all a slipped disc - all in the last 10 weeks Certainly makes you appreciate your health and only consolation is conditions round here are pants at the moment

Hi Joe Yes - an Evoque.i have the PHEV but tbh rarely charge it but it is relatively tax efficient as a company car and I can fill it with petrol The build quality isn’t great for what they cost and they’re not that economical. My colleague has one less than 3 years old and it’s had a new...

Hi I have 2 sets of C3s One is a standard CS12-SU build from Dave Lumb- add an isotope- perfect One has K guides ( and lots of them), anti-frap tips, alps seats , burl cork - looks amazing but handle is too long for me and just not as comfortable to use A bit style over substance You won’t go...

I can literally spend a day there, including a nice lunch in the cafe- only in America! Where else can you pick up an AR15, some power pro, beef jerky and a reel tree negligee??

So will an X1 😉 Really depends on what he’s going to do with them

Sound advice On larger waters I fish X1s and baitblasters so I have options on distance / size of bait I can cast Smaller waters / rivers P1s X1s are exactly what you would expect, perfect all rounder BB350s took a bit of getting used to for me as you really have to load the blank I’ve always...

It’s called reel service tutorial May 2020

There is a brilliant tutorial on this site from Rich Isaacs - search baitrunner service or similar

Good reels - I have 4 Several seasons in now on the Cs10s - no issues at all Great for float work but I’ve had lots of barbel too on them on tip rods-will do everything you mention - nice reliable clutch , strong bail arm and excellent line lay Good point re spools , I think you get a spare...

A true gentleman who has furnished quite a few of us with some exceptional rods and kit at bargain prices and has shown a great sense of humor when being ribbed by some of us. Some of the banter was brilliant and you took it in your stride- always loved your attitude 👍:D I sincerely hope you...
