Another issue with roving, is whether you feed a few swims along the way to come back to later, only to find someone else there! I think it’s called Sod’s Law. I do find that so many anglers don’t venture far from the car, so walking a mile or so if possible gets you away from others for a bit...

Go on Simon ..As Del Boy would say “you know it makes sense!”

Like you I have all the tackle I need plus more yet I still check the classified ads and eBay! Why not treat yourself to a week away somewhere where you can enjoy using the tackle you have. I recently went to the Wye for a week which was special. Or join a few angling clubs .

I meant of the barbel you are going to catch on it 😉

I know he had one other . Glad it worked out for you. Hope to see your photos.

Glad to see my old rod has found a good home Alan. Enjoy!

Hi Alan There are 2 that I have seen on marketplace ( Facebook) One one them I had many years ago. Built by Mark Tunley and ideal for rolling meat. Seller is in Portsmouth and priced at £175. Beautiful rod that I regret selling.

Thanks to everyone. I can see benefits for both. I’ll probably buy one used and if I don’t get on with it then stick it on ebay.

A ruckall opens when placed flat. You still have the straps to carry like a rucksack

Thanks Gary but I’m after a ruckall not a rucksack. I have the Drennan rucksack but fancied a change.

If only my lottery numbers had come in this week.. although I say that every week.

Thanks Kevin. I’ll have a look at the Korda. Just need something large enough for a day on the river without it falling over and half my stuff ending in in the river 🤣

Thanks Martin.Much appreciated. The Fox seems to have more padding on the straps. I normally carry a chair if taking one.

Likewise at Symonds .. I can fish from the bottom of the garden so not far to go if the heavens open! tight lines 👍

I fished from 4-7pm and a few knocks on meat from a rod length out to third of the way out but nothing 😔 Try again tomorrow but I did notice a drop in temperature as the light faded.

Great catch Craig 👍Fished Symonds Yat for a few hours this afternoon but no fish unfortunately.

Evening.. Thinking of getting a ruckall and ditching my Drennan rucksack. Has anyone used the Cult Tackle DPM ? I know the Fox Camolite gets good reviews Abut the DPM is half the price ( both secondhand) Advice & comments greatly appreciated.

Hi Jake Welcome to the forum, Send me a pm as to where you are fishing, as I fish the Sussex Ouse.

Welcome to the forum Aaron. I’m assuming you have joined Petworth or Pulborough AS? I asked a similar question re barbel in the Arun & Rother a few years back as I live in Sussex. The general response was ..” bloody hard going. Some members don’t catch from one season to the next. “ As long as...
