Chris Most braid users up the BS to get a decent diameter - its the "nick on snag" factor that concerns me for low diameter mianlines (whether mono, flouro, braid or this)

John, agreed except it may be useful for Float fishing

Nonfill, based on rebay prices from USA and Poland (??) look similar to Flouro prices, about £25 for 300m.

The Shakespeare 36" Head ( http://www.tedcarter.co.uk/product.php?pid=shakespeare-specimen-landing-nets ) is a similar cheapie. However.... Mine has netted 150+ fish to 16lb over the last seson or two and still going strong. It has a Metal Spreader Block and I can change the mesh easily.

Ian I was in a similar situation., and could not get hold of "Barbel The Immortal Challenge" for anytihng but silly money so bought the combined book for £25.

Still the odd one showing on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAIWA-INFINITY-ADVANCED-BARBEL-12FT-ROD-2-25TC-IFAB2214-/120455628344?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Fishing_FishingRods_EH&hash=item1c0bb70638

Why not get Barbel Obsession as it it brings all three of those books together: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Barbel-Obsession-Steve-Stayner-Fishing-Book-1st-Ed-/300596539269

I hummed about this last winter. I settled on the Wychwood Extremis - it suits me for the day light roving for Perch and dusk onwards for Barbel. If I was not roving about so much I might have gone for one of the super warm Prologic ones.

As not one had a full erect dorsal fin, I voted for the best hat!

My preferred heavy duty hook is the OWNER C3 TSUYOSHI But if your choice is working well I suggest don't fix what is not broke!

on old BFW site somewhere where the subject was done to death see what Chavender write at : http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/9610 A modern paper on this at...

All depends on whether you like fishing with black line. As they cannot perceive red, a red object will appear some other hue, probably a dark grey. It will not be invisible

Oh I am so dissappointed - I thought from the thread title it would be about which baitrunner to use on which split cane rod!
