a lot of places wont let you put up a shelter as such I found the umbrella a bit snug with me, the other half and all the gear in a sideways down pour so the answer was to buy an umbrella for her:D which also means half the gear goes under it too;)

no if your a smart carper, then you set up your bite alarm to a mobile phone...fish takes bait..sets alarm off..calls your mobile..wakes you up..you get dressed..have a spot of brekkie..get in the car..fill up with fuel..set off on the 130mile trip to the rod..stop for a **** at the...

Daiwa Theory Barbel Rod 12ft 2.25lb twin tip brand new with bag

well got the money back through ebay in the end, no response from the seller..just held onto my money for the best part of four weeks..only communication i had in a reply from them was "i sent it via parcelforce will get a tracking number and get back to you in a bit" then nothing, still left...

tried the straps and was ok but found the chair would snag on bushes when the pathway was restricted..sorry sounds like im a moaner:D also at the end of the day the velcro straps to hold the chair together always seem to be hiding in another bit of kit so ended up with the legs opening all the...

am i missing the point or got dodgy line off ebay? i tried the big game one and changed it back to my old trusty maxima chameleon as soon as i got back home found it was like using wire seemed to end up and just yards of spring like coils and kept coming off the spool and tangling up around...

Any chance of gps exact coordinates of where the bait landed on the bottom of the river before catching it :D

if im not the only pork pie muncher on here then got one of these jackets today british made too, bloody bargain at the price, photos dont do it justice lots of pockets on the inside. guy said he sold over a hundred of them last week and wont have them in these sizes long Sherwood Forest...

no really! I have to say joining here last year and getting advice off other members of where to try and tactics and also reading through lots of posts I caught more barbel last year then i have caught all my life in total! just itching for the weather to change to get a last couple of trips...

royalty barbel for me at the age of 13 and never fished for anything else since still have the nightmares of kipping in the back of an old escort van with a bucket of maggots in the top car park that belonged to a member on here;)

im also using the run rings as per the link but having unlimited free supply of heatshrink from work i went down that route, found taking a big pan of water off the boil and just dipping the line in a few times shrinks the tubing nicely..all be it too short a length:o

thanks for the replies seems from looking over them my shrink length on the hook length is not long enough, its set up as per the last post link but only covers the swivel and maybe 20mm down the line just gotta wait for warmer weather to get back up to the wye to check it out:D thanks...

the way things have been weather wise you will soon be able to cast a line out in the town centre and hook a barbel;) happy new year!

ok bit embarrassed to have to ask this but.... when using cage feeders i find the hook length always ends up tangled around the mainline just above the feeder when using pellets, this does not seem to happen when using heavier bait such as a cube of meat on the hook if i use the pear shape...

well if this thread is also about good service perhaps? big thumbs up to ringwood tackle, bought a chair for the other half and after a few trips out i noticed in her usual alert taking in the fresh air way:D she was not far off falling off down into the river due to one of the legs almost...
