    Anti Tangle sleeves

    I recently got some off eBay from China, camo effect, good sized hole for large swivel, very cheap but as said they took a couple of weeks to come in the post but I was expecting that. In the short term you could buy some from Bank Tackle but if you intend to make lots of feeders order a load...

    Burton on Trent Fishing and Accommodation

    Hi Fellers, looking for help/information. My wife and I are going to be attending a funeral at Burton on Trent in the next couple of weeks and my lovely wife suggested that it could be an opportunity for me to have a go for Barbel on the Trent (something I have been gagging to do for years):p...

    Maggot clip confusion

    Personally I think Maggot clips are outdated and have never liked them from the outset (too clunky). I mostly hook them direct on Guru MWGB hooks in size 16 on which I have landed several doubles to 14-9 or if I want to fish a larger bunch I do a similar thing to the Carp fraternity by mounting...

    Feeling the strain....Barrows

    The one thing I would add Graham is DO NOT buy a trolley, Barrows are far easier on your old body when travelling over rough terrain ;)

    Your favourite Blockend feeders

    I like the Drennan feeders which i think are called 'Oval Flat Bed' feeders (might be completely wrong with the name) to which I add anything up to 3oz's via lead which is poured into a trays and then cut to size;)

    Strange Hookbaits....

    I've eaten thousands over the years whilst based in Germany and they are delicious but really nothing more than a hand made burger, but ask yourself this, why have I never used a Hamburger as bait (cooked) :rolleyes: they have to work don't they?

    Review time. Chair

    Chub used to have a brilliant lightweight chair in their 'Hi Lite' chair which had long front legs and a complete rear frame instead of the usual straight peg like ends to the seat frame which meant you could sit comfortably on any sloped bank and also put HD pegs in front of the rear frame to...

    looking for a new pair of reels for ipowers

    Shimano X Aero 4000's, best reel I have ever used ;) Super smooth clutch and lots of power when needed.

    I thought Hardy rods are supposed to have a lifetime guarantee?

    in the market for a new shelter ?

    I nearly bought one the other day but (and please don't get me wrong Paul) having seen these photos I'm glad I didn't. There has been too much compromise on 'coverage' for me. It is too high and open for my liking, If you had the usual swirling winds that accompany most rain showers you and your...

    in the market for a new shelter ?

    Hi Paul I am lucky to have 'acquired' a reel of stainless 'Lockwire' used for securing critical bolts on Tank engines;) Does the job perfectly...

    in the market for a new shelter ?

    Hi Paul The one I used was 'Tenacious Tape' on the single roll, in clear, probably the 50 x 7.5cm from which I cut the appropriate size patches but I was repairing the area around the central boss where water was gathering and then dripping on me which only required short lengths, If you need...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't non member access restricted to the minimum information??

    in the market for a new shelter ?

    Hi Fellers Slightly 'Off Piste' I know but bear with me;) I too hate fishing under a brolly but hate getting cold and wet more! Finding a decent new brolly to replace your favourite old and leaking one can be a nightmare as some of the previous post reflect. I have prolonged the life of my...

    Whats best recent bit of tackle you have bought ?

    I have been using a line from 'Take Akashi' which purports to have some very dubious breaking strains for the diameter but I use it and really like it but I use the diameter rather than the breaking strains;)

    renewrodlicenceonline

    No Derek I have a direct debit (don't know why everyone else doesn't?) I receive a letter every year in Feb telling me how much they are going to take and provided I don't cancel my licence arrives in March;) I see the adds are generated by Google Ads so you are correct, I guess in allowing...
