    Boilies for Tench

    I tend to mainly float fish for Tench but one of the pits I fish the larger fish tend to come from about 50 yds to some bars (mainly to carpers) so I want to try the boilie and feeder approach this season. I’ve had some success in the past using tutti fruiti or CCMoore live system but was just...

    Fishflix Fishing Tv

    I actually thought he comes across completely opposite to this, on the Fishflix vids at least….just basic no nonsense watercraft and bait placement with basic rigs. The video about quivertipping on rivers an example of this, favouring old tackle from the 90s to modern gear. I generally can’t...

    Are we losing our Sixth Sense?

    I think there is something in our ability to ‘feel’ a sixth sense/intuition/gut feeling whatever you want to call it. As a species Homo sapiens have survived over 300,000 yrs by basically being good at 3 things: finding food, keeping out of danger and reproducing. I think ancient humans did rely...

    What are you favourites hooks?

    Welcome to the forum John. I’m another fan of Gardner target hooks but tend to use size 8 or 10 so can’t comment on the sizes you’re asking about. I’ve used talon tips in larger sizes for carp/cats and they’re sharp and strong.

    Interchangeable weights

    Drennan used to do something similar…a stem with interchangeable screw on weights. I think a simple nylon link with shot and/or putty is simple…or for bigger leads a quick change clip

    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    I know what you mean about the drennan, and the fact it was unstable on the bank once you unclipped the unhooking mat. The Korum roversack sits on the bank lovely, it’s not going anywhere and everything is easily accessible from the top flap. A real winner IMO….there’s a few things Korum have...

    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    3rd time out with this set up now, for short sessions when I just nip over the fields for 2-3 hrs. Korum roversack which I’m loving, takes a small tackle box/bait/flask/scales etc and unhooking mat strapped to the top plus net and bank stick strapped to the side. Plus Drennan rod sleeve with...
