Hi Paul Out of interest, which rivers do you fish? I only ask as it may temper my answer to your dilemma.

Some interesting theories and opinions ;) I mainly fish the Dorset Stour and Hants Avon (both very weedy in Summer and Autumn) and rarely use a hook length longer than 12" in the Summer / Autumn due to weed but even in winter wouldn't go more than 2ft. My summer presentation always involves...

WANTED (Long shot I know ) Has anyone got a Harrison 11' Avon 1.6 TC loitering in a tackle shed needing a partner? I have recently purchased one and would like to pair it up if possible so if anyone has one they would be willing to sell please let me know what you want for it

What base mix G?

Well done Mr McGough, yet another belter, top dangling 👍

Bargain, I need new handles for my Harrisons anyone know anyone near Poole who can do the job?

How much did that job cost Robert?

Hasn't he tried to get it replaced FOC since it was clearly badly constructed?

Never met him but corresponded on here via PM a few times and always found him very friendly and helpful, a sad loss to the Barbel fishing community.

Or simply tie a back to back 5 turn Grinner ;)

I reckon your right you grumpy old sod, I find it very uplifting (although Bob's fishing ability is non existent and therefore irritating) just light hearted "Twaddle" but still entertaining ;)

I have a similar invitation and hope it is still extended? Will hopefully find out soon 😁

Totally agree, if I can get away with it (and I usually do) I use my Harrison 1.5lb but I also love my original Greys Prodigy Barbel 1.75lb and have never used anything heavier for Barbel. I fish the Hants Avon, Dorset Stour and the Wye but have never fished the Trent or Severn but hope to do so...

I know it isn't meat but I use Garlic Klips Pellets, Dumbells and Paste from Kent Particles River Baits and they are superb, getting me a Throop Fishery record last season ;)

My thoughts exactly 🧐 I twist the bag until it is drum tight so it "explodes" on melting and am able to cut off the tag end very close to the knot which is also pulled very tight as well. The knot slips easily and firmly into the Ronnie Swivel (as shown in my first post). No waste at all;)

:rolleyes:

I use a Ronnie rig swivel on my lead clip or on the line above the lead when fishing inline leads. The knot of your PVA bag fits perfectly in the slot, "Simples" ;)

Another fan of the Syncro XT but I use the Loaded version for Barbel in 15lb, good solid line 👍
