Paid £5.50 a pint during the spring. Don't know how that compares with everywhere else.

The problem with using a bait that is naturally found in abundance within the river bed is that it becomes a needle in a haystack of similar food signals. I'm guessing you would need to be eyes on with a fish in that the bait can be delivered from hand to gob.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm erring towards the drennan sling.

There is a good interview with him on The Creel podcast.

Bit of a boring one but thought it was about time I replaced the decades old sling and don't want to kiss alot of frogs to find my prince of weigh slings. Any recommendations for a barbel sized weigh sling. TIA.

I've done so much carp fishing involving alarms over the years that when I fish for other species then I want to immerse myself in other methods to get away from monotony of being sat behind buzzers. There is alot of information missed by not watching the tips, especially on pressured stretches...

She's the brains of the outfit Graham.

My wife after two decades suddenly realised that she doesn't know where I am at any one time when I go fishing and tells me to "what three word" where I am when I get there now. Can't say I always remember to do this but I can be in some remote places alot of the time and she worries if...

I see the price has gone up a bit too on hooks, probably to make the buisness seem more profitable to prospective new owners. Good hooks but price saving is becoming more negligible.

I reckon most places will be quieter than expected. There does seem to be a downward trend in numbers on the bank at any one time which I suspect is cost of living plus the covid influx dwindling away possibly? I'll be lost in Wales somewhere.

Backs away from the keyboard and counts to ten should be the mantra for the post.

I don't need any lessons on how to be even more of an amateur angler 😁. I have seen that one but there is still a big gap in the youtube catalogue for UK centerpin fishing I found but thanks for the nod.

I have been watching centerpin casting techniques on youtube recently and it's all very American/steelhead based which is fine but it would be good to see some UK centered talks on the subject so have subscribed. Good luck

Can I take the speedia please and is paypal OK?

Any pics please?

Any reason you singled me out for giving the "wrong" answer as some others have answered similarly?

I think if we're talking on the reel lifespan every year is a good general guide I feel. I also strip off yards off line from time to time if I feel any slight damage or just feel like getting back to some "fresher" line up the spool for my own peace of mind. Generally I found any weakness...

I found the carbon inners flexed too much so that when using buzzer bars that whole setup wobbled like a jelly and twisted like "it was last summer " so I got shot of them. You probably won't be using bars barbel fishing but thought it worth mentioning.

Shouldn't.
