He may or may not have made a mistake. I'm not impressed if he has done it but it wouldn't fundamentally change my opinion of him. Not so much with barbel, but yes, back in the day I would fish way too many pike rods at a time and have them too far apart and I did it knowingly. I used livebaits...

I couldn't agree more I was pondering what potentially is this most heinous of crimes if ever proven? Did he bang the fish on the head? Did it go belly up after the ' incident'? Did he put it in a keepnet? Did he fraudulently claim a record or capture? No - he may or may not have set up a fish...

And it mentions Peter Drennan on one of screenshots. I'm guessing that this won't be the first legal battle PD has been involved with over the years. He'll have PR people on it as well as legals. If it were to be proven then the potential damage to both the MB and Drennan brands would be pretty...

Yep as I said for warmth they are awesome but the plastic is quite tough and they all go on the join with the neoprene So I can still use if piking and sat around all day but as an all-rounder / waterproof boot , couple of seasons Now I have big calves so that doesn’t help and I did do miles...

My mate hooked this in the Swale earlier this season. He sent the pic to another friend of ours who is a retired GP and he confirmed what we all thought... He then called it in and quickly had CSI there, cordoned off the area etc. and confirmed they were 99% sure it was human. Perhaps the poor...

Agree with that on thermal properties , just didn't last, they started to leak where the neoprene meets the moulded plastic- happened on all Grub wellies I've had but I did do a lot of dog walking in them too - Vibram soles were great too. Just expected more than 12-18 months so went All-rubber...

Had a few pair of grubs and whilst comfortable I think they all leaked too soon Had a pair of these for 2 years - brilliant https://www.newforestclothing.co.uk/products/percussion-sologne-neoprene-wellington-boots

Unbelievable place I always stock up on caps and Tee shirts which used to be cheap , not so sure now? Braid is normally very competitive Even Mrs R likes it - have a great time Adam 👍

Completely agree and ones they have tagged travel incredible distances.

Yeah I agree - what a magnificent sight but should they be on our coasts?? Assuming our skippers will sport fish and catch & release? But the thought of one being hacked up to go in my butties really got me thinking

nigh on impossible not to hook them at the mouth of the Tees when mackerel bashing - certainly some squeaky bum moments as the spool empties and you're trying to pull for a break. Orcas are making their way South ( spotted off Bempton cliffs nr Scarborough last month) so hopefully Mother Nature...

Lovely looking blank and I really like what you've done with the build 👍 I think the price point for a bespoke rod is about right for a twin tip. Again I like the concept of a tip rod on the lighter section. Just an observation here, but you're into Harrison territory at that level and as...

What I really like about the DL build CS12-SU is the handle length I have another set with longer handles and just not as nice to use He nailed it

Richard is right I have the Nash Ultralite which is comfy, strong ( I’m a lump and destroy chairs) and very light but no recliner I also have the Nash indulgence which is super comfy and reclines but I wouldn’t want to be carrying it too far Fox Duralite is a really light chair but again I don’t...

There is pond close to the village where I grew up. It was dug in the 1880s to take water from the local ironstone mines when they were operating. It is in the middle of a dense wood and is actually a very pretty little fishery, surrounded on all sides by mature trees. As kids we would sneak in...

I got one and rate it I did fit the Storm pole adaptors and tend to just use the storm poles and don’t bother with the central pole Arguably it kinda defeat the object of a suplite brolly carting 2 poles about but as a comfortable shelter that I can retire under with all my gear & bait I’m happy

Or discuss with the rod builder what you want to do with it? I know from experience that any of the ones regularly discussed on this forum will build you a rod that matches the brief I also know that I’ve ordered a rod based on preconceived ideas and been dissuaded by the rod builder, but I...

I think most people would agree. Widely accepted that TC is only a part of the thought process - it’s a pointer to a rod’s capacity for payloads Within a TC bracket indiviidual blanks vary hugely - Torrix and Chimera are very very different actions At the end of the day it’s then down to...
