At the risk of stating the obvious....You can easily rig up inlines as running leads with the added advantage that they drop off when snagged (...and you are back to playing the fish with no lead)

Brother rates his Korum Fibreglass 50". Seems a lot lighter than any of my 50" brollies

Apparently I have to own up to some fishing induced near insolvency and the hints about • Go to the Severn and catch a Barbel and then • Its cold so why not try the Dee for Grayling? And last summer, he bowls across to Yorkshire where I guest him and he catches a Yorkshire Derwent Barbel at...

I have no option on most trips as I fish after work and that entails into dark, once September comes around. Most of my clubs allow this on the majority of their waters - some require notification if you intend to fish through the night. I dropped one club as they were being strict about...

On the Hull which had it specimen fish (Barbel, Pike, Bream, Carp etc.) decimated by Seals in 2009-2010 - the seals regularly follow the Sea Trout up the Humber and into the Hull. On the Wharfe and Ouse the seals tend to follow the large spring salmon runs from the Humber. Once there they graze...

Bob, While you're there have a look at the Trakker Pioneer (Ultralite or Specimen)

I have one of the newer Drennan Extenders (they upgraded(?) recently) to augment my extending (but not lockable) Power Carp (commercial ) handle that has lasted well over the past four seasons. The Spreader block thread fell out on my first decent fish on the Tidal Trent as the carbon split...

Free Spirit Advanced Specilaist 1lb 12oz about £130. Two piece - quiver extra.

I take the rubber centres out from the Avons for my cane and hexagraph rods - not ideal but they do. I ought to try the bigger Drennans or I have done and they did not fit right.

I have used a pair for four seasons as summer / autumn boots - lasted well. Not bad considering I bought them at half price. But I always dried them and then reproofed them once a month after the first year.

They are in all the major Humber tributaries (e.g. Hull, Ouse, Wharfe and Trent) to some degree or other at various points - they follow the Sea Trout and Salmon runs. Over a season and half they finished the River Hull as a Barbel fishery.

Yes December brings its charms like empty banks and 5m plus of flood on the Ouse like Saturday :

Both and more including "The Danger Cast" - a danger to anyone other than myself within 30m - I "perfected" :rolleyes: it when casting to the far bank of the Ure.
