    Flask recs please

    Stanley for me. I have 3 in different sizes, one of which is thick walled which keeps drinks temp hot longer. They are also very tough.

    If You Could Offer One Tip...

    In the winter because Barbel do not move around so much you need to place a bait close to get a reaction so I cast around to different areas in the swim to try to find one, if no bites after an hour move to another swim and repeat.

    What Scales Please?

    How accurate are any scales Richard unless you can calibrate them before use. I thought with these you can instantly see an approx weight as soon as you lift the net out of the water.

    What Scales Please?

    Just been made aware of these so ordered one, looks a very interesting concept and would save weigh slings, separate scales and if you can unhook the fish while still in the net in the water (appreciate not always possible) even having to use the unhooking mat. May not be accurate to exact...
