    Conversion to carbelist?!

    Sleeping Angler Was 'In Van' Asleep in a van and didn't rouse despite an EA chap fiddling with his alarms...plus no licence, refused to give details etc. long list of offences. That's a relief! I love a doze with the line wrapped around my big toe.. I was worried then!

    " Got a sore ear this morning and to make it worse , I blanked ! " Doesn't sound like a blank to me.... just didn't catch what you were expecting.:)

    getting rid of lead when snagged

    I tie lead/feeders on with a rotten bottom (usually 1 or 2 cm of 7lb line with some granny knots). Almost free and just as effective.

    Bait dropper on a light set up

    Dinsmore thamesley clone is pretty light and wont fall apart. Good copies of the original and in my view best. I dont bother with a dropper rod, less to carry.

    Rod for the boot?

    Different strokes for different folks. I really like these, bought a second because I was so pleased with the first. Fairly fat blank compared to a better quality rod but pretty good action in my book. Made short work of an 18lb catfish on the River Aisne last month and have landed countless...

    What reel line should i use?

    Big Game clear 10lb - cheap as chips on a bulk spool, breaks at 12-13lb and tough as old boots (.28mm I believe)

    Hook Sharpening??

    I've had a few and found these to be the best. The central groove in the sharpening stone really lets you hone the hookpoint with 1 or two light touches. Makes a huge difference out of the packet, and lets you fix a turmed over point without tying a new hooklink up. Saves time and hassle...

    Korum Quiver

    Highly recommend the drennan, tough as boots, light and functional. Mine's had about 10 years or more of abuse and going strong with no sign of wear, bit dirty of course!

    Anyone after RD Campbell flavours in manageable quantities could look here: Cathedral Baits & Tackle // Cathedral Baits and Tackle // Fishing Tackle Shop // Ramsgate, Kent I've used a number (including Frankfurter) with success. Just don't work out the profit margin!

    Kelly/Storm/Ghillie Kettle?

    These are cracking little kettles. Very similar to mKettle or Backcountry Boiler. The NEW F1 Storm Kettle I've been using an mKettle for a year and the Storm F1s appear to resolve a couple of minor design niggles. Best thing about all of these kettles, is you are almost guaranteed a...
