I have had the 1.75 version for several years and have used it with the avon top for barbel on the Middle Severn and with the quiver tips for chub on the Thames. I really like it. Have had some decent barbel on it and it has a nice playing action. I did get a few additional quiver tips to...

Gary, the original poster, Lee, is my fishing buddy, so he is also fishing the stretches you mention. We normally fish together having both joined the club at the same time :)

I rate the Korum Aeronium - very light and if you use Korum rucksacks it can be clipped on to carry it. My only negative is that the legs lack the adjustability of larger, heavier chairs, making it a bit harder if you set up on a steep bank, although I often just fold the rear legs underneath...

Glad you got sorted Adrian. Christened mine on Tuesday with a 6.5lber. Really happy with mine so far!!

Pellets, dumb bells or conventional boilies for me. I started my occasional barbel fishing back in the pre pellet days on the Severn when it was all hemp and caster with double caster on the hook. Really busy fishing, match style, one rod, stood up in the water, getting a bite most casts but...
