I have a heated waistcoat made by blazewear which is excellent. Just takes the chill off on lowest setting but you can definitely feel the heat on the highest setting.
I am selling my German flecktarn jacket which I have only worn about half a dozen times watching my son play football. He’s left home now, so don’t have any use for it. Size wise, I’m 5ft 11” and weigh 13 stone and it’s a good fit. It’s in very good condition, £25 posted.

Some pegs have slab platforms from what I remember. Fairly typical tidal stretch really. The club which runs it never reply to emails and seem to be fully subscribed every year. Used to be my favourite tidal stretch before it became popular.
I wouldn’t say the Avenger is a barbel trotting rod, it has reserves of power for sure that will cope with barbel, but it’s probably more suited for chub. I use mine for general trotting and a Daiwa 15ft river float rod for barbel trotting.

Plenty of reserve power when needed but not what I would call a through actioned rod, more a progressive one. I personally don’t like through action rods as they feel sloppy in the hand to me.
I have 2 avengers, original and Mark 2 ( green trim on whippings) and use them as all round float rods. Fantastic rods ( do prefer my mark 2 though, bit lighter and more responsive). I also had a titan but sold it because I just never used it.
For some reason the AT seems to catch a lot of flack on here, with many saying they were members of the Angling Conservation Association, but cancelled their membership once it became the AT. Well for those who only want to support fish legal, you can now make a donation on the AT website and...
Korum now do a brolly with steel ribs which I’m thinking of getting. Anybody here got one ? I have two of their fibre ribbed brollies and they are absolute rubbish, as Brian said earlier, they fold up like a tulip in the wind. Last time out in high winds my mate laughed his bollix off because he...
