What model are the waders, please?

The Cadence 14ft #3 is an excellent rod for the money IMO and does have the backbone when trotting for barbel. It's only limitation would be if there were nearby snags and you were trying to bully a big fish away from them.

Probably spending our money researching this!!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-60196518 One of the factors may be a decline in prey! Quelle surprise!😡

Cheers for this Adam. Ordered mine to use as a spopper/spomb reel and added something cheap to get the free postage for orders over £30. Good shout!

One of the best story tellers in carp circles. Brings his captures to life...and he's had the lot! Top angler and well worth watching some of his films on YouTube. Sponsored by ESP.

If you've found anything better, please let me know. But if you're not happy with a product they will refund the original owner (terms and conditions apply).😁

Watch, listen and learn from better anglers than yourself. Then apply that knowledge to your fishing

Goretex all the way for me. Regarding an earlier post about still being wet whilst wearing such membranes is that in times of high humidity the breathability is always going to be significantly reduced as there's nowhere for the vapour to go. That being said, it's wonderful stuff for those, who...

I picked one up years ago, Mike, and found it to be a cracking rod. I still have it but it rarely gets an outing these days. However, If things go to plan I'm hoping to use it when targeting some big tench.🤞

Can someone explain what the XS stands for on the Duo XS?

As they say, size isn't everything. :)

PB 14.6 tidal Trent. However, the one I regard as my best capture is an 11.1 from the Nidd.

I'll keep my eyes open for any that come up.

Sorry to everyone who's heard me bang on about this before, but if: * you can live with camouflage * like me you sweat a lot * you have to walk a distance to swims * you fish in all weathers * you are prepared to follow the best advice regarding 'layering up' …. then, NEW (unused) ex-army...

Richard, I've had problems with battery-operated ones in freezing conditions. New batteries weren't the solution on that occasion and when both mine and my mates failed we had to borrow some non-digital old-school ones from a nearby angler.

I'd never be happy with only a set of digitals. If they aren't working, you're stuffed. Old school scales might be a bit out, but at least you get a reading. If necessary, this can then be tested when you get home.

How does that work, Ray? My weigh sling rarely weighs the same each time depending on how wet it is.

Stephen, you have a pm.

Rather late in the day but I have three of these rods which I'm going to be selling: 2x 2lb TC and a 1.75TC rod. let me know if you're interested.

Chris, I had a similar problem with a finnicky bite on the Nidd, during a warm spell in December a few years ago: small intermittent taps. In the end I touch-ledgered and decided to hit the first tap. It worked, resulting in a very pleasing big 'nine.' I can't recall having another barbel bite...
