    head torch

    Hi Conrad, most of my power tools use the LiOn batteries & these are obviously re-chargable, not sure about the little fella's though but would expect them to be available if not now then very soon..I have a problem with my Cree in that if I pack it away the next time I use it the batteries are...

    Muck Boots

    Just a word of warning with Muck boots, I left my Tay sports in the back of my car on a red hot summers day & found the glue came away..I've sinced glued the sole back on but not as good as new..stupid of me I suppose.

    Fishing 2 Rods...Positioning???

    My initial set up on the Trent would be to cast to 12 o'clock half way to two thirds across, this usually settles at about 1 o'clock..My second rod is cast to 2 o'clock at about a third way across, this usually ends about 2.30..If it kicks off on either I'll stick with that one. I'll only...

    Polish fisherman

    Having spent sometime living & working in Germany I'm not sure I'd want to live there.. No sense of humour & very hairy frau's :eek: They do have immigrants, I was one for a while :D

    Tripods

    I hope they have Chris because apart from that the Ranger was the perfect barbel pod. I've found I'm back to using banksticks, I can't justify the extra weight the Sky pod adds to my already heavy load..I've been fishing a spot which is a mile walk or bike ride:eek: from my parking spot & I've...

    Yes but they are not the Trent.

    Good news for the Aire from Twitter...

    I wish they'd done it to the Aire 10 years ago, it would've saved me a fortune in fuel travelling to the Trent..I'll be in my zimmer frame roving my local river :D

    Kelly Kettle Cooking Thread

    Sally I bought a kelly kettle a few years back, used it once & quickly went back to using my coleman stove..I found it a bit too Bear Grylls;)

    What line do you use ???

    Powerpro for me, in 20lb bs. I've tried the Calcutta braid but it doesn't come close.. I always fish with a leader be it Amnesia or the Berkeley snides are good, I struggle to thread braid through rig tubing;)

    Hooks that don't dink so much on gravel

    The time I fished with you Jon I was using Korda wide gapes :eek: I can vouch for their sharpness..maybe a little difficult to unhook tho:o..cheers mate ;)

    What would you do?

    I pulled a couple of guys on the Wharfe last week & in fairness they did pack in..but it's not worth getting in a violent situation, most observe the close season however they feel about it.Give em the old Clint Eastwood stare, but "do you feel lucky punk" might be pushing it a bit too far :D

    Tripods

    I bought the Ranger over a year ago & was well impressed at first, but after a while the the screw threads deteriorated, corroded & then the threads became useless..These screw threads should be brass, they are not & for over £200 it's scandalous.. I returned it to the shop (Erics) & they gave...
