Scratched the Itchen. got mad a meal of by carp *sob*

Quiet possible that they have just switched production suppliers.Practically all our hard pellet comes from aquaculture feed suppliers practically the difference between extrusion machinery and constituents can produce quite a difference in aesthetic quality of the pellet - i.e. skretting...

The warks avon fish for me, seconded by the rother brute. that warks beauty keeps me tossing and turning at night - but of course all fantastic barbus.

TOP MAN. my uncle recounted a story to me of driving down a lane in his transit during flooding on the thames looking out the window to see a 30+ mirror and a good common swimmingly along happily haha. good effort and good luck with the mission.

Apologies failed to notice you wanted line to spool up with :rolleyes:

Dependant on the breaking strain you were lookin to use often the stuff used by fluff chuckers is quite supple and considerably cheaper - a fiver for 50 metres compared to a tenner for 20. To be fair its most probably exactly the same stuff used by other coarse brands just re packaged...

I think to be honest all this article does is high light that there a lot of petty and generally unpleasant people associated with angling. Both the angler and the club have proven their equal worth in hopeless behavior to a degree - as everyone has already discussed.

:rolleyes: some people . . . may want to do some research into the 'actual existance' of 7lb 12oz powerline. Only messing gents, apologies to those riled.

;)

Powerline in 7lb 12oz and spaded super specialists - will land anything even in snaggy swims.

I use quantaties of maldon to introduce hemp and caster in a pva bag. Didnt seem to deter the barbel in the slightest. Salt has been proven to be medicinally beneficial for practically all species of freshwater fish. In particular as a cheap healing and calming agent in the transportation of...

I think its more likely the amount of preparation involved. Costs them nothing for a large frozen bag of shrimp tails from the back end of nowhere. quick once over in the deep fryer and you have yourself a £6.00 chinese meal. Boiled an immense pan of the blighters up the other day for nowt more...

Interesting stretch, if you wander around down there long enough you should meet the baliff - cant for the life of me remeber his name, but he certainly has had a few fish worth talking about. Boilies and pellet being the standard fare. About half way down during the summer a huge bed of lillies...

THE man. nuff said

dont worry Jim im not having a jab at anything here, just my idea - sorry

Brilliant hooks but given I have caught 99% of barbel on 'seamed' hooks as many others have I cant really see the point in re-designing the wheel - perhaps why they are being dropped?
