I am probably wrong and the guy is flogging them cos his circumstances have changed but why does anyone buy a pair of expensive hand built rods that he thinks are the "best barbell rods ever" then flog them on fencebay? perhaps I am overly suspicious but it does not feel right to me. I am also...

After about 45 years I cleaned the corks on my Super Wizard. wish I had not bothered, I had a brim on it last September

Best barbell rods you can buy. Used only once. Am I missing something. I will continue to put money aside each week for Mr Lumb's benevolent society.

Why does anyone on a Barbel forum want to spend Torrix money on a pair of flood water rods? They may do for river pike rods though.

I have never looked at them so please excuse my ignorance, is Ade right are they just a stone? I assumed in my ignorance they were some form of composite material. When I used to fish the Ouse I did drill my own stones and araldite a swivel in them for low clear conditions. They did work under...

I fish a small dead, usually headless, change bait frequently, no free offerings.

Ash, you is my eerow

Did I say can or will Dave? The ones that come out again and again probably post on here me old mate

Graham despite my last post don't include me in that. My Nan lived in Bournemouth when I was a kid my cousin John In Parley. we fished the Stour week in week out and occasional trips to the Avon to mostly blank and dodge the bailiffs. I love the rivers and long may I fish them. My point was; we...

Paul Quite right about the wrong foot and being "anglers together". And I will concede most of that was my fault. What we are doing here, I think it happens; a lot on forums; is we both presented our preferences and opinions as "the right way to go". Your statement about control is all...

Nice first post Tom, Your missing nowt in my book, posted similar stuff myself in the past about rivers, not ponds though. It escapes me completely how big names in this specialised little bit of our small angling world can complain about the aquatic balance of rivers being disturbed and Barbel...

And that gents puts it in the correct perspective.

Hardly be the first Graham. First one I recall was a Team fish in the early 90's, that packed its bags and made it all the way to a midlands fishery that was for a time sponsored by a leading tackle maker. Despite an endless supply of pellet they don't do well enough to challenge the record...

Are either designed to be used by something with gills? Has anyone got any medical evidence at all that these are not harmful to fish.

Mr Bassinder, please refer to the above. If that is not explanation enough please refer to my post about unhooking in water and if you would be so kind as to give me a general guide to use of an unhooking mat in water I would be extremely grateful.

Howard, I fish for just about anything with fins, and have done so since I was in short pants about 55 years ago. It may come as a shock to some but I try and think about what I am doing in my work and play. I didn't take the thread to unhooking mats someone else did, I was just pointing out...

Your judging by your own standards Howard The syndicate I refer to is three estate type lakes with no difficult swims. I fish an extremely mobile approach, mostly lure fishing for Perch and Pike but also stalking the carps in the summer. I am a member of a syndicate on the Severn as well, in the...

I unhook in the water bud, weigh in the net, and don't have the fish out of the water at all unless I need a photo for a PB or near or ID purposes. One of the syndicates I belong to has a similar extremely stupid rule. I have a self inflating sleep mat that stays rolled up in the bottom of my...
