Source has got to be one of the most consistent boilies for barbel 👌

Spot on that quote! I have 2 x 11foot 1.75lb rods that are completely different. An 11 foot 1.75 korum barbel which has a powerful progressive action An 11 foot Peregrine GTI which bends and bends right through! Dave

That is a real eye opener! Very interesting and it makes sense when you actually think about it!

What t.c. Danny? Dave

(Selling for a friend) "A lovely light and responsive rod that comes with 5 quivertips. 6 inch handle extention and original bag with tube for tips. I bought this on a bit of a whim and have used it 3 times. The rod and all the tips are in immaculate condition as I mostly floatfish! Collection...

Hi Paul I've just bought a cadence 16 foot #2 off here but not had chance to use it yet. I'm thinking 0.17 Reflo to 0.15 should be a good match for the rod on my centerpin? I also bought a Diawa spectron 17/20 rod with a higher rating of up to 8lb line. The diameters are similar but the cadence...

Another pristine rod Paul. Thanks again 👌 Regards Dave

Many Thanks Paul for meeting so close to my address. The rod is immaculate and very light 👌 Regards Dave

...Can't believe I missed it! 😳🤣..I was just thinking I fancy the 16 foot Cadence #2 then you messaged me 😯

Hi Paul You have a PM Dave

I've still got mine. One of best bream rods when it first came out and for years afterwards imo

I know of an angler who uses bright orange line straight through for barbel and catches plenty of fish...Some good ones too! I'm convinced what spooks them more is swimming into line they 'can't' see.

Welcome Lee 😉 You're clearly experienced and have a good selection of gear 👌 I've learned so much from posts and anglers on here over the years and met some great blokes, some of which have become good friends. Also there are 'Fish- ins' occasionally on various rivers where you get to have a...

...deleted..I was asking if it was 12 foot and just seen on the picture it is 😆

Hi Steven Can I have 'The complete barbel angler' Regards David

Kevin I know someone who may be interested..I will get back to you ASAP. (Is there a carbon 3oz tip also?) Regards Dave

Something I think is very relevant here is that social media has clearly had a negative impact on certain stretches of river I have fished. Its a double edged sword imo when anglers are posting on YouTube as I believe it will benefit clubs by encouraging more anglers to join that follow these...

Many thanks Adrian 👍 What many anglers don't do is put a post up when they blank!..And I do blank just like anyone else 😆. But I've found it may help others to mention the conditions I was faced with, then they can decide for themselves. Regards Dave

This is something I've noticed on here (lack of reports). And I think it's partly down to the way many barbel anglers post their catches these days..Facebook or Instagram. I very rarely post my catches on fb now and have come off the many river groups I was part of. I grew tired of the attitude...
