    Shimano XT RB 6000 vs Shimano 6000D

    Just bought a pair of the XT 6000 RB's to put on my Chimera 3's (8000's were a little too big). Used them on the Trent last week, very nice. Got a couple of dozen baitrunners ranging from 4000 to Big longcasts. These feel just like the rest of them.

    Gripper or Anchor?

    Just about to order some 6 and 8oz leads for my first visit to the tidal Trent. I've always used normal gripper leads but I'm wondering if the 'new' anchor style leads are an improvement or do they just look nice?

    VERY Waterproof jacket

    I replaced my old Falklands army surplus jacket last year with a French army camo goretex under £50 (brand new) and it's absolutely superb.

    Korum Barbel rod

    In desperation a couple of years ago I switched to 2 rods and because, for me, things must match it meant buying a new pair of rods. I got a pair of Korum 12 foot 2lb'ers for £100 and although the cork isn't the best quality I can't fault 'em.

    Grab and go food options

    Yesterdays swim was a 30 minute walk from the car so I took croissants because they're light.

    It doesn't recline (although, I can fall asleep in mine) but the Nash indulgence ultralite is comfy and light.

    NGT Dynamic Baitrunner. Thoughts?

    I'd consider myself to be a slight tackle snob but even without factoring that in I'm not sure I'd skimp that much on a reel.

    Securing a brolly with guy ropes

    I use the Gardner brolly spikes they're superb for getting a solid fix into the ground. I've got one of each length for my 3 different sized brollies. I'm told they've stopped making them and are now just selling existing stock.
