I can't think of a single good reason for using Low Diameter/ Pre Stretched lines for Barbel fishing!! They give no advantage at all but several disadvantages ;) especially in waters with copious weed growth;)

Thanks Andy, didn't notice the date 😬

Hi Andy The link takes me to Barbel fishing Accommodation, or am I being a thick old sod? Can't see any mention of Kempsey AA??

I have used 3 Rivers Rolling baits and have had plenty of Barbel on Vamp (Garlic flavoured) and ASAP which is the fruity fishmeal bait I think you are referring to, which was also brilliant for Chub ;)

Thanks fellers, was asking because I have been selling some rods, reels and Korum luggage for the widow of my deceased friend and whilst other items have sold very quickly, I am yet to get an enquiry on the "Chimera" so just wanted your "learned" opinions ;) 👍

Hi Steve I am selling a Korum Rucksack/Ruckbag? on behalf of my deceased friends widow. In very good condition (just one small hole on the inside of the main pocket but still perfectly good). would happily take £25 plus postage for it ;)

Hi Fellers Just asking for your thoughts/reviews of this rod?

Yes it is ;)

Don't worry about it. Most pastes become pliable very soon after being taken out of the freezer and both Boilies and meat can be mounted whilst still semi frozen and defrost very quickly once in the river ;)

Done 👍

Give me good old full cork any day ;)

Try Gary Allner in Bournemouth who does fantastic work (came 5th in custom build world champs recently) used by most local tackle shops for rod repairs, cant recommend him highly enough. https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=gary%20allner%20custom%20rods Gary refurbished my Harrison's last...

Me too John, SMG, can I assume you were tank crew, as I? By the way that is a very pristine example ;)

Although I normally use X Aero baitrunner reels they were both "Locked Up" in yesterdays swim as I had a fallen tree less than 15 mtr downstream 😬 I have no problem with using front drag reels though and have Diawa Emcast Evo reels on my Carp rods but obviously leave them loose and then tweek...

I only use pellets as feed but use boilies made from the same ingredients as hookbait, Klips Sardine and Garlic ;)

Hi Connor Check out https://www.klipsbaits.com/ Paul is pretty much a one man band and also has a brilliant pellet and paste as well as terminal tackle and PVA mesh at very competitive prices ;)

Am I missing something here! WTF has this got to do with this thread?

Personally I wouldn't buy a brolly if I couldn't remove the centre pole ;) I currently use the Korum Graphite Brolly Shelter which is excellent.

As usual, the fishing is a backdrop against the obvious friendship and camaraderie between Bob and Paul, most enjoyable watch 😁

Hi Mike Most, if not all weather apps use the Met Office for their forecasts but in my experience (and my job depends on it) XCWeather is by far the best and most comprehensive available.
