    Imitation baits

    He sold them in batches to his mates at 20 for a quid. He kept back a mixed lot for himself. Unlike me i can't remember the last time he bought live Maggots

    Imitation baits

    My son got 100 fake Corn in various colours and a 100 fake grub and maggot of Ebay from a Chinese seller. They look and smell the same a the Enterprise ones, probably made in the same factory. Each pack of 100 cast 99p incl. He seems to catch a good mix with them down the Canal but am the exact...

    Fixed spool reel sizes. Sizing system

    for casting 1/4 - 1 oz lures which i take you will be using a spinning rod 2500 sized reel should tick the boxes. 2500 spinning reels often have quite deep spools. I do a lot of lure fishing in the Canal near me. I found out anything larger upset the balance of the outfit on a 10 to 45g rod i...

    BBC Video-River Colne Abstraction, Sewage Pollution etc

    Am totally lost for words. How have they been allowed to do this. No only is it a devastation for the wildlife it also damages the environment. They should be ashamed of themselves and be heavily fined. Also, they must be made to put this right ASAP. Am not just say this as an angler but a...

    Fraudulent EBay activities

    Just done a "fishing" search on Ebay. Why would someone in China be offering a days fishing on the UK waters?. The seller had surprise surprise no feedback. If the seller is kosher i bet there is a good bit of loading on top of the true price. Ok ive seen holidays in France and Spain offered but...

    Fraudulent EBay activities

    Can you give us a bit more info. Most things listed on Ebay from China are always dirt cheap. To date, i may have just been lucky and been happy with my purchases. But lately, i have noticed a few used rods being sold by a seller in China with free delivery to the UK. His feedback was zero.

    What line for trotting ?

    More or less what Jon said.Interesting regarding straight though or a lower hook link. most of my Barbel and Chub are straight through lines. Where i fish gets very weedy with many dead branches on the deck. If the bed was quite snag free, then i would use a lower rated hook link.

    Cigarette smell on cork handle

    Saw this on another forum. We all told him to wash it in warm soapy water. Then i wonder why a piece of Cork would smell of Ciggy smoke. Unless someone had tied 100's of fags to it which i doubt very much Could it smell of smoke due to a house of shed fire. My answer is just to use it. Unless...

    What line for trotting ?

    Going to try out trotting with a pin. Never had much luck using a pin before, so when the river seasons starts i want to give it one last try before i decide if i sell the reel or not. So treat me as a newbie on this topic. Rods that i will probably be using are Avons 1lb, 1.25lb, 1.5lb. I...

    Whats the differences ?

    No windup Terry just trying to get my head around this rod. Also forgot to mention it is 9ft in length. All 3 of my Avon rods can take a screw in quiver tip or swing tips. The Ledger rod can also take a screw in a quiver. The Ledger rod is from the 70's and is fibreglass. Although it's rated at...

    Whats the differences ?

    What the differences between a Leger rod and an Avon rod. Both have a screw thread in the last ring to take quiver tips. Both seem to have the same TC. I mostly Leger with my Avon rod so trying to get around the differences in my small brain
