IMO I think you would be better off sticking to the proven work horses...Shimano. There's nothing worse than hooking in to a PB or good double, only to find your clutch or drag start sodding about. and also Shimano parts and servicing are readily available for most of the top end range Okuma...

Cheers guys, I'll give your recommendation a try first Paul if you say this chap is good and fairly close to me. I also spend a fair amount of time working in Luton, so I'll have a look in Leslies when I'm passing. Thanks again Paul

I quite fancy giving the new John Baker range a try this season, but am a bit reluctant on laying out £90+ for their minimum order just to give it a try!! Any suggestions on how I might get a kilo or two for a few early season sessions? I live in Bray just outside Maidenhead, so wouldn't mind...

Just been looking at this Mark www.fishing.co.uk/article.php3?id=1147

Not me.....but really fancy it!!

Still waiting for mine too...sent 2 emails this week, but haven't had any reply!!!!!

That's right Jon...no longer published. I did manage to get a signed first edition at about three times the price of the original copy...Never know, might be a collectors piece in years to come!!

Just got a copy of this one...paid an arm and leg for it..I'll let you know if it's worth it!!

Just ordered mine this evening, should be plenty of time before 16th!!

I’ve paired my I-Powers up with a pair of 5000 XTE-A’s, and find the balance superb, I’ve used them for two seasons now, and they’re still as smooth and reliable as the day I bought them, so much so that I’ve just purchased a third 5000 XTE-A to go with the new Torrix Stalker I’m waiting for...

I've used Interparcel in the past, and found the service excellent. 6' rod tube, collected from home or work, delivered to mainland UK, £8 inc vat.

I picked up a 20kg bag of jumbo hemp for £21 from G.J.W.Titmuss Ltd New Mill, Lamer Lane, Wheathampstead, Herts, AL4 8RG. This is the second season I've bought from them, and seems to be a fairly good quality.

Just picked up my seasonal 20kg bag of Hemp..Just wondered what different ways there is to prepare it. In the past, I've soaked it in water over night, drained it, then boiled it in fresh water for 30-40 minutes, drained it, let it cool off, then bagged it up in 2 pint resealable bags and put in...

Ordered some Big Game Clear off Fleebay, and will leave my Power Pro as it is. Thanks for all your feedback and advice guys. 81 days to go and counting!!

What BS of Powerpro would you use, 15lb/20lb/30lb ?

This could get confusing Paul. aka. Bray Barbel Basher

Cheers Graham, it was your advice I've been putting in to practice over the past couple of seasons regarding Braided hook lengths. On another note, are you still guiding on the Wey next season? I quite fancy a day or two out with you, if you're available!

Thanks for the advice Guys, I'm currently using Power-pro, which I've had no problems with at all, so I'll leave that as it is, But it looks like the Berkley Big Game for the mono is a favoured choice, I'll keep a look on Flee-Bay between now and the beginning of June for a decent deal. One...

Hi Guys. I'm looking to replace all my old Braid and Mono for the new season, and would like some advice on what's good and what's not to replace it with. Is there anything new on the market worth trying? Or are the old tried and tested ones still the best? Any advice would be appreciated...
