When working correctly it should clip over the collar easily, and often slips back off during a barbel fight ….shouldn’t be any problem with that! As Dave said maybe a mix up with sizes?
I had my best season on the Ouse last year, by introducing a bait into an area downstream of a known holding spot or likely looking area then waiting it out, sometimes for 4/5/6 hrs with minimal casting/disturbance. All my fish were caught in daylight. On low stock rivers I believe it can take a...
Hi Matt, plenty of advice in previous posts about fishing floods in general, not specific to Ribble.
Many advocate a nice glide of brisk walking pace…including me.
This isn’t very high water but this might give you an idea …a lovely fast glide over gravel between weedbeds I think is a good bet...
Sounds like you have what you need tackle wise, how about just sticking some funds in a savings account/premium bonds which is just your treat money….then at some point something will grab your attention, wether it be a trip or tackle, then you have the funds set aside just for if??
Fish, just like all other species that have made a success out of surviving and evolving over millennia, do they demonstrate a high mental capacity…I don’t think so, do they demonstrate self-awareness…again, I don’t think so. but can they learn to avoid predators and recognise danger…of course...
Replaced my Korum one with this Gardner target net 30”, had a decent drop on it for resting fish and solid metal spreader and arms. Folds easy and lightweight. Not got it wet yet, first time on bank with it now, so not really a user review but impressed with build quality
As one recently and was impressed…like a mini ruckbag and ideal for roving sessions. Has a side handle too according to the pics online but I can’t remember seeing that on the one I saw but might have missed it
They are having to compete with other selling platforms…interesting to note that sale proceeds will go into an eBay balance account which will be introduced over next few weeks. I imagine eventually a charge applied here to transfer to bank to encourage use of using it to fund eBay purchases...

Bitetimes to lifetimes, Tom Bankes ….his latest book and a great read. A few pages have gone a bit crinkled from a water spill but it’s just superficial and no pages stuck (see pics) £23 posted
Really surprised to hear that Lewis and not my experience, I’ve been using them a lot over the last year or so in smaller sizes when fishing maggot or caster on the Severn with no problem….although TBF only caught barbel to 8 Ib ish on them. I agree I wouldn’t use them targeting bigger fish but...
Interesting….the rep in my local apparently said same pattern but heavier gauge, gonna compare the two when I get some. The specimen range is considerably cheaper so hoping your right Lewis
