    Why? Just bloody why???

    Unfortunately Neil I bet a good proportion of those leaving the rubbish are parents as well. They must set a wonder full example for their children. I cannot comprehend the mind set of anglers who just dump their rubbish, for me a large part of the appeal is getting away to somewhere scenic...

    hook length to braid

    I use ESP Strip Teaze coated braid gives a nice stiff hooklength and strip enough of the coating off to give a natural presentation of the hookbait. I still blank though.

    Garlic spam

    Last time I fried it up in curry powder the house smelt like the local takeaway for a week. One miffed missus and a trip to the doghouse, nothing new there :p

    Viz letters, absolutely no mention of barbel

    Sat at my desk try not to roar with laughter at the" pick up a penny" letter. Not doing very well to be honest.

    Muckboots sale

    So, had these for a while and only worn them a few times for dog walking. A bit snug on my chunky calfs but okay once they are on. I wore them for a work party on the Swale on Saturday and stayed on for a session afterward. There had been a good downpour during the work party and before hand...

    Aldi special buys ( salopettes )

    My daughter is going skiing so already had my eye on these. Top quality salopettes at a very reasonable price. The jacket is the same quality but a third the price of similar quality coats I have looked at elsewhere.

    ESP Strip Teaze

    I agree with Glynn, been using it for a couple of seasons and it saves making up combi rigs.

    Artificial baits ?

    Mike, I have some success earlier in the season on the Swale on fake casters. I've set casters up on a t-rig ans glue a few real ones on to make a reasonable offering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQxQiUV7mc4

    cooking on the bank

    I'm sure Fishtec just released something similar and was on offer at £10. I have a hex stove and just got one of those meths stoves that Aldi was selling for £8.50 in their sale.

    Berkeley Big Game supplier

    Would any one have a link for a site selling Big Game Clear 10lb BS? I ordered some from EBay which clearly showed Big Game but I have been sent Trilene which isn't what I want.

    Grauvell specialist rod

    I'm not sure anyone stocks them now Clive. An underrated company, I have a 1.1lb tc and it is a lovely rod. My some managed to land a 8lb barbel on it using 6lb line a few years ago. http://www.carpconcept.cz/grauvell-prut-specialist-rods-ht-12ft-200lb-1555 Managed to find this site, think...

    Had my gear nicked last night

    I feel for you Jez. It's not just the items themselves, it's the memories associated with your gear and also the violation of your property. You must be gutted having already been robbed once. Hope you manage to get the gear back.

    Muckboots sale

    I have ordered a pair, went through no problem. I had a pair of Tay's before and found the size 10 just a bit too tight so opted for size 11 on these.
