    Landing net head

    I dropped mine on a bit of hard ground and the attachment head shattered but I made an easy fix with a cheap spreader block and a couple of stainless self tappers.

    Big Cat sightings

    I've watched quite a bit of YT footage that claims to be big cat sightings but I'm still to be convinced, can you provide a convincing clip? I can't categorically deny that they roam our countryside but the evidence, given modern tech' is quite underwhelming. I've seen big cats, one on my...

    Drennan super spade hooks....

    Superspade are also my first choice for a big fish hook when a finer presentation is required. Are the originals discontinued along with the smaller 18's and 20's?

    Elliptical shaped pellets

    I heard the elliptical shape came about by a malfunction on a machine (at Hinders??) that was knocking out standard shape pellets and they just went with them as a flat pellet that would stay in faster flows longer. Just something I heard and may be utter bollox??

    NGT

    Had an email off them today re; the wrong light, they're sending the correct item out straight away and didn't even mention my return of the wrong one, which I specifically asked instructions for the return of. This a link to the online shop, I think it's a merchant that trades with their...

No delivery after over a week, emailed them and after an immediate response informing me that the items had been stolen or gone missing at royal mails' end, they sent the items out again, delivered within two days (saturday) but...

    Nash siren RS1 alarms x 4

    I saw the ebay listing. Rang my son who was after some new alarms just a couple of weeks ago, he's bought Delks since I last saw him, he looked at these and would have had them otherwise. I would have had them but I'm going to start listing my own for sales to raise funds for a new motorbike...

    Baits for new season

    I've been using the source pellet and boilies for years, along with various liquids, dumbells, hookbaits etc. I've retired them for at least this season and have, on the recommendation of a mate, bought a load of hinders pellets and some extra hard boosted hook baits. A change is as good as a...

    Fluorocarbon mainline

    Don't fall for the "fluro is invisible in water" spiel. It's far from it once it's been submerged a while, it picks up suspended particles in the water (dependant on local conditions) and looks like a washing line adorned with your undies, just like any other line.

    Reasonable sized baitrunners?

    I recently got a pair of these in the 5000 size for some avon rods and they're a cracking little reel. Don't let the 5000 fool you, they're a compact bodied reel with a bigger spool than the smaller listed sizes. Perfect for Avons or upto 1.75-2.00lb rods

    Rod Position Changes

    My rods go as low as the conditions allow, on a low, slow Swale, fishing close in, they're inches above the water.
