    Wels Catfish - The Debate Thread

    Sorry to distract from the point of the thread, but that isn't what happened at Redmire. The fishery manager was away from home when the water level in the ornamental (non-fishing) pond next to his cottage became dangerously low. Members of the family that owned the estate at the time thought...

    to glug or not to glug

    Do you have a link? The eBay search function doesn't return anything for "techno baits".

    Andrew davis or Paul cook rod wanted

    I only know of one Andrew Davis rod that's been sold on, and that was to a close friend of the original buyer - most people who own one love it so much, it would have to be prised from their cold, dead hands...:D

    Fraudulent EBay activities

    The Chinese already own half of London - probably only a matter of time before they've bought up all the decent fisheries as well...:(

    Fraudulent EBay activities

    The listings mentioned are not the property of the Chinese sellers - they're cut and pasted from genuine items that have already been sold on eBay by legitimate UK sellers. The Retro Tackle Facebook group members are pretty good at spotting these (especially when some of them are the...

    Thin thermal socks???

    I've used these for years and find them very good (and they're very thin): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/332013678312?lpid=122&chn=ps&var=541050366315&adgroupid=39159866351&rlsatarget=pla-268911516418&adtype=pla&poi=&googleloc=1006886&device=c&campaignid=698622927&crdt=0

    Grice & Young jecta III pin wanted

    That particular eBay seller is notorious amongst vintage tackle geeks for his generally outrageously high prices!

    In line feeder help.

    The Drennan inline feeders are of the "semi-fixed" type, so the use of a lower b.s. hooklength should avoid any possibility of a fish being left towing a feeder in the event of a break. Drennan Bolt Rig Feeder | HarrisSportsmail.com

    Match Aerial

    There's a huge difference in value between the Match Aerial (which was the last Aerial made by Allcocks in the 1960s) and the similarly-named Aerial Match, made for one year only (1939) before the factory switched to production of materials for the war and the moulds for that model were...

    100 year old rod

    What is the total length of the rod when assembled? Four-piece split cane rods are quite unusual unless made specifically as travel (or poacher's!) rods, in which case they're often for spinning (fits with the use for mackerel) or fly fishing. As you suspect, the value is practically zero...

    Pope / Ruffe

    I suppose people only get nostalgic about ruffe when their local waters don't contain any - the Macclesfield Canal is full of them and they're a real nuisance if you're fishing worm for the perch. But not as much of a nuisance as the signal crays. :rolleyes:

    Recommend me a new rod holdall

    I've got the Korum 2 rod quiver and the first thing I did with it was remove the shoulder strap. I never seem to get on with shoulder straps on any make of quiver or holdall, but find the carrying handle very comfortable on the Korum and I'm never carrying so much that I need both hands free for...
