    Rod set ups

    I think as anglers we need a bit of live and let live and also to take notice of winks that indicate even though I have both, I don't take them too seriously.

    Reel Servicing

    Thanks Richard, this concurs with some other opinions on another forum. I'll give it a strip down and clean but I've ordered another bearing before finding out it may just need a clean!

    Reel Servicing

    As was I many years ago. Served my time on lathes, mills, etc and ended up in the precision grinding dept' of a gear, thread and spline scecialist Company. Many years ago now, still fancy getting myself a lathe in the shed for my retirement, perhaps knock a few pods etc up! There were a few...

    I have a shimmy 10000XTE that could do with a overhaul Richard, it may be beyond financially sensible to do it though. It actually runs but it doesn't feel right, play where there shouldn't be etc! Could you take a look?

    Online shopping

    Never had a problem with online shopping, even with returns. Sadly it's the future for local vendors. One of my local tackle shops failed to "go online" and do mail order and went under a few years ago. Another opened up, went online straight away and is doing quite well. Angling direct get...

    Daiwa QD Reels

    I've recently bought one of these ready for some summer floater fishing and I put one of these on. Without yet using it, it does seem to be silky smooth. I put the qd on in case I put the rod down for baiting up etc and get a quick take.

    A Christmas Puzzle

    I have an old Swiss army knife (huntsman) that my son found in the street over 25 years ago, he wanted to give me it, the small blade was snapped but everything else is still perfect. Brilliant bit of kit that has proven very useful (even the snapped blade) over the years! One of these would...

    River Piking - Paternoster question

    The problem with that rig in the video is it's asking for a bite off, A pike could take the bait, carry on upstream and bite through the mainline. The bait won't flutter straight out from the sub float, it will hang down in all but the fastest of flows with the subfloat above and the mainline...
