Rive would be a good bet, plenty around,been made for ages so spare interchangeable modules readily available, they may be pricey new, but secondhand you can get a bargain.

Ah, I wonder what happened. I was just after some info on the Wey, specifically the depth in certain sections, as , according to the EA river monitoring web site it states that at Walsham weir it is 18.5 metres deep. Not fished the river for years, joined a club with sections of the Wey, just...

Yes , it has a twist lock mechanism. Only used it a couple of times so can't comment on any major problems. I think it's made by the same people who do their rods, they seem to be well liked.

I don't know about the Gardner or Drennan poles, but I picked this one up, very pleased with it. http://www.tacklebox.co.uk/landing-equipment/landing-nets/tb-darent-valley-3m-extending-landing-net-handle.html

How about Korum twin tip plus ? Has 1.75 & 2.2lb top sections to cover various conditions, maybe a "Jack of all Trades" type rod, but Korum seem to be well thought of.

Been looking at reels myself, trying to find a shop to try one is the hardest part. Think I've narrowed it down to a Daiwa ninja 3012/4000/4012 (why so many models) for the float & a pair of Fox Eos 7000 for ledger rods. Couldn't see much difference between the ninja & legalis models, except the...

The rich kids used half crowns on Rolls Royce hub caps. I started with fairy washing up liquid bottle tops, first electric ones were,& still are Fox micron ST's, just had to solder in a new battery holder over the years, excellent things.

I was using it by punching it out with a meat punch & hooking it direct, its fairly firm but I was only fishing in the margins on a lake, or at most 30 foot out, stayed on well.But be warned, it does taste good.

With the number of commercial stillwaters stocking barbel, do you think a record could come from one? They are producing very large chub already. I would like a double figure tench or bream, I think they would be an impressive fish, along with a 2lb roach or rudd, or a 4lb perch.

Used this on commercials for the pasties, they love it, & so do I . Absolutely stinks of garlic. https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Sokolow-Garlic-Polish-Sausage/233943011

15lb 10 oz from the River Mole (Surrey)in July 2011.

Best used sliced,between 2 slices of bread with Branston pickle (chunky).

Only had 3 Barbel, 1st one was back in 1981 on The Royalty,that was 10lb 6oz,had to wait 25 years for my 2nd, a 6lb fish from the Mole,then last season had my PB 15lb10oz,also from the Mole.Next goal is a Barbel of any size from the much abused Wandle.

Just got a pair of medium LC's,part exed a pair of 6000 GTE's,the difference in smoothnes is amazing,the GTE's were very good but no match for the LC's.I wouldnt say the 6000 GTE's were a large reel,if anything seemed a bit small,LC's look at home on the carp rods.The large single handle feels a...

Eat Marmite to keep mozzies away,or just eat it because its delicious.

Stopped about 5 years ago & I swear my catch rate has gone down.Still miss it but the saved cash is a huge bonus.

If you think otters are bad,wait till they decide to re introduce bears,wolves,lynx and many other long gone creatures that used to live in Britain,that should be entertaining.

If you want cheap then check out Shakespeare mach1 xt specialist rods,not specificly barbel rods&only 1 top but not bad for the cash.Daiwa do some cheaper barbel rods,I've got 2 Daiwa Proteus barbel rods,they are decent as well.

I ordered a rod from Lathams on 1st of August,received it 4th of August,Shakey mach 1xt 10ft specialist for the Wandle,so I must have been lucky,or the ones with poor service unlucky.
