I certainly hope so ;)

Last year I got the deal of the century in the shape of a Drennan IM8 13" Super Stick in VGC for a Fiver ;) I have used it once for Grayling and It's a lovely rod:p I have no Idea what it's actually worth?

I bought two Okuma Aventa Pro centrepins for just under £80 ea (now £120), and two Swallow pins a few years before at just over £50 ea! I still have the Okuma's but let the Swallows go for £100 each some time ago with no regrets as they were the Mk1 version with the leather pad drum brake ;)

What a Legend Terry is, also fishing some of my favourite haunts, If only those stretches were anything like they were back then😒 I bet there are still some monsters around though;)

I have been considering trying braid for trotting again since I acquired some 200m spools of 'Sundance Tackle Super Braid' (Roger Baysance's company) in 12lb BS 0.09mm which is a round dyneema braid that floats well. I currently have a few spools in my tackle shop intended for LRF anglers to use...

I'm Jealous;)

Great thread Jon, I was inspired to try float fishing for Barbel by the great Keith Speer who's articles on the subject were very informative too. This is a float caught 17lb beauty which was published in the angling press. Sadly Keith died a couple of years later, a sad loss:(

Yat? ASAP? Do tell Graham, is this a secret bait ;)

I see you have joined the group Alex, I think you will find it very interesting and informative 👍

What What a wonderfully evocative film ;)

Thanks Ian, just watched and enjoyed that 👍 Looking forward to the next instalment;)

I have bought it Stephen but am yet to read it but in the current climate feel that will happen soon. In the short term I would also be interested in the answer to your question ;)

Definitely my worst season ever, just 6 Barbel from a flooded river Wye during summer floods and not one from my local rivers ( Dorset Stour, Hants Avon) just a few Chub on local rivers but even they were in short supply:(

I have tried it on the Hants Avon and found that the flow was way too much for floating the pole over so I reckon that you will have to be able to ship it out above the water.
