Live system works well, Ive mainly used it in the winter on easyish lakes but know of someone who caught very well on it from the Great Ouse last winter. Smells lovely too which makes a nice change. One thing Id say though is I dont think its a food bait as such so wouldnt want to pre bait...

The license money doesn’t go into anything per se, it’s a generic tax like road tax and like all tax money it pays off government debt. They may equate their budget with license fee sales figures but the EA budget comes straight from government like all public service budgets. The biggest...

This thread gave me the urge to post my smallest barbel ever but unfortuantely I lost all my baby barbel albums on a dead PC. Then I remembered that the last time a PB thread came up I had the same urge..... so I went on an old thread hunt......... the same thread was started by the VERY SAME...

Why would you want to limit the reels drag? Utterly pointless thing to do for a barbel fishing reel, imo.

Clueless, crazy and all the other C words. Bedfordshire is f**ked. The urbanisation of the county will continue at breakneck speed for the next 20 years. The ridiculous trainline to Cambridge is going to decimate the area too. I don’t know what it takes to sell your soul but we are run by a...

AH doesnt have a flavour per se, just a good base mix and liquids. They do sell the base mix now which i use just to make my own hookbaits and feed boilies. Bet your mate was using Scent from Hells. Absolute sick in a bottle.

Atlantic heat from Baitworks. Use with confidence.

:cool: I don’t know who coined that phrase but its very good, (didn’t mean to fire off a narky question but weren’t sure if you were laughing with it or at it!) :) Lots of rig problems stem from not following ‘the rules’: find them, DON’T SCARE THEM, then feed/fish for them. It can also be...

Do you not think so?

This is a big bait problem, imo. Barbel have anti-eject mouths but bigger baits take alot more effort to go into their gobs and big baits are more subject to not acting natural and therefore maybe having more chance of being rejected. Sharp hook is a must. Lots of times when Ive been getting...

Find any title by Tony Miles that your friend hasnt read and buy him that. Old is gold.

You need to get yourself a fishing brick-

Cons- generally straight tipped points so more chance of hook pull. Each to their own; but for dedicated barbel fishing a wide gaped pattern with beaked hookpoint is all you need.

Me too. This rod can be used for everything from tench n chub to big old carp n barbel.

They stopped doing a barbed version and now concentrate on their take on barbless which are the Gripz hooks. The old barbed 'the hook' were excellent but you cant get these anymore. Gardner talon tips come in both barbed and barbless and are very similar to the pallatrax, again they are highly...

Cult classics but you are basically fishing for screamers with Nevs. I love mine :)

...and companies that produce hazardous waste

Off with the heads of...

I had one of these, its a copy of an old JRC model. The JRC model lasted me 10 + years until a mouse ate through the bottom of it. Unfortunately the Angling direct version has fallen to bits after about 3 seasons heavy use, the harness literally fell off the bag when I went to put it on. So...
