Isn't there something that pole anglers use when the sections of their poles become loose fitting?

Never been cold or wet in my Trakker suit.

UPS Drivers are total a****oles. Nearly got taken out by one today who came straight through red lights at me. I’m hoping the email I sent got to the right persons inbox although I suspect it’s a franchised operation and they will absolve any responsibility for “external contractors” or similar.

I had a similar issue. My own fault as I shut the male part of the clip in the car boot. I went to the tackle shop where I bought it to see if they could order me a replacement and as it happened the Korum Rep was paying them a visit. He promised to get me one and that is the last I heard. I...

Am I right in thinking Speedias have a large reel foot that does not fit all modern rods? Could be relevant to the person starting this thread.

Not actually my first barbel but the first to appear in a photograph. It's July 1975 (I am aged 17yrs 11months) at The Royalty Fishery with the Parlour Pool in the background. I made the rod and the reel is a Strike Right Ultraflo (could not afford better) both of which I still have. I caught...

I have stayed at the Inn on the Wye and the bungalows at the back are comfortable enough for a fishing trip and as they are twin bedded can be shared with a fishing partner. I have also used the Premier Inn at Ross on Wye which is conveniently situated right at the end of the M50. The brekkie...

Excellent as always Richard and thanks for your help with my reel problem.

I was able to buy a very little used Free Spirit 15ft HI-S Power Float rod at a good price which is a superb rod. I have also used one at the other end of the price scale, namely a Korum Glide 12-14ft, which I used at 14ft. I am a centre pin fan but it does restrict you due to limitations on...

October for numbers, March for size.

Is it a decent chub rod?

I bought an Airflo jacket from the tackle shop at Rutland Water which I have been impressed with. Remember these guys fish afloat all day with no umbrella to duck under.

Isotopes contain tritium which is a colourless gas. It emits low level radiation by beta emission which excites a phosphor and it is the colour of the phosphor that determines the colour we see. Agree with the scale of visibility given above.

That is a kind offer from Biil. I used those Wychwood rods until a year or two ago and they are OK rods for the money, even more so when gifted! My advice would be to take up Bill's offer and once you get fishing on your new waters have a chat with other anglers and get their feedback on the...

Find places you can float fish. Far more rewarding than watching rod tops.

The price Spam still compares favourably if you work out the price per kg compared with boilies.

Here is my list. Not very extensive but does include three river Stours. Chelmer Suffolk Stour Gt Ouse Nene Thames Kennet Loddon Dorset Stour Hants Avon Wye Swale Dovey Kentish Stour Trent

The first bait I used in the modern era when I returned to coarse fishing after a long period of fly only was Dynamite Halibut. This season I have gone back to where I started and use their pellets in a variety of sizes for feed and bigger ones as hookbait and find they work well. As winter...
