Hi Terry the braid itself was pretty similar to PP but after my first session the braid just went white (where it had been in the river). I've had PP on for years & it keeps it's colour. I know it's a confidence thing but you'd think they could use a process that keeps the dye in.I bought it...

Terry I've recently bought two spools of the 30lb & first time out it lost it's colour.. binned it now.

I'm badly colour blind but it seems some barbel are not. I was on a session recently & started using a dark green coated braid (so it said on the spool) anyway I only had enough on the spool for a couple of hooklengths.. The only coated braid I had left in my bag was a sand coloured variety. I...

I fished a swim on the Tidal Trent a few weeks ago, hooked one & got cut off on my hooklength landed the next & then got cut off again.. That was enough for me not worth a fish so I dropped down a peg upstreaming. Problem solved no more cut offs if it's viable it's worth a shot. If not try...

What time did it get dark? Maybe they had your rig sussed in daylight.. just a thought.

Banksticks for me, I've been through the tripod phase & don't see any advantages.

Leave it as it is..it gives the otters & EE's a break from moaning anglers.

Power pro super 8 slick braid :D

I walk to my peg in a good pair of walking boots Merels Westward roast (sounds like a beef dinner) & put my Grubline snowline boots on when I'm fishing. This seems to cut down on the sweat.. I did try Sealskinz socks but on advice from Johnny F stopped wearing them as they cause too much...

An inspiration RIP Tony.

Braid;)

I've recently acquired a ****zpoo or whatever it's called & was thinking the same :)

My thoughts are with you Albert.

Barbel Society? Is that organisation still going & what do they do?

Love the pectoral fins..

Cracking fish well done.

Karl I snapped the top 4 inch off my Chimera after hooking a tree:( but obviously the butt section is fine if you could get a top section it maybe cheaper than buying a full rod.. You can have what's left of the rod for nowt..pm me if your interested..I don't live far. Btw the pair of Torrix...

Hi Karl I've had one for a good few years & if I'm honest it's a bit of a poker.. I got Bob Gill to make me a couple of Torrix flood rods which I find much more forgiving. I fish braid so that may be worth taking into account & the Chimera is 11ft 6in if I remember rightly. I'd give one a...

Christina Hendriks :D

Hi Bob I've had a couple of emails but don't know the story..I'm thinking of going to the EGM/AGM if it's worth a trip.
