New member here, wanted to post and say hi!
This year I have rekindled my romance with fishing, and have to say that I have had such an enjoyable season so far. It's my first season back for 15+ years, so I am here for the cheat sheet on barbel fishing! I have pulled out every species this...
Snugpak is definitely worth the money and British made 👍
However, have a look at the Aqua F12 Thermal Jacket. It is exceptional quality and super warm. I got the jacket and matching trousers this year from Santa. :cool:
