    Ebay

    The last 3 things I sold in Feb I received the full amount I wanted. Ebay had added extra on each sale as protection for the buyer. The only slight negative, as I did collection only, was that you can't get your money until the buyer confirms collection with a shared code. At one stage I had 2...

    Tench helicopter rigs

    I use individual rubber beads. If you cut the tubing in a point at the end and wet it you can push the beads on with swivel between. Imo it's worth getting the swivels with one end loop bigger between beads. I do also add rubber anti tangle bit over top of hooklink onto swivel to push the hook...

    Tench helicopter rigs

    I use a short length of tubing that has the two beads with a swivel ( large loop between beads) hooklink to hook tied to swivel small loop. Mainline through the tubing, pushed to lead clip at end. Safe as well. Cost about £1.20.

    MYTHE LAKE and Uckinghall

    For all those interested in fishing Mythe Lake or driving to the River. I sent the following to BAA today. "Has anything been done about the track along the lake yet please. It was pretty dangerous with the very deep ruts to drive along last Spring. Thank you" This was the answer from Mr...

    Advice on new rods please?

    I have always been totally happy with my 12ft 2lb Torrix. On Trent, Thames, Wye Lower Severn Kennet.etc. If my fishing was mainly on Tidal Trent , I would maybe go up in tc otherwise I would continue to drop it into the inside line during floods.

    Freespirit Tamer Power Float 15'

    Cliff. I had a pal in Yorkshire decide to hand a 1.75 Torrix up to me on a higher bank the same way. It snapped as well. The other main way to break a rod, without collision damage eg, stepping on it, hitting something with it, that I've seen is. Tying on an end rig by the handle under...

    Chasing chub....

    A few chub from the Wye. Very slow start.

    Chasing chub....

    Yes. Years ago on the Thames. Fishing half way across in 12ft of water. A barbel of around 8lb with another followed all the way in. Nearly into the net. Only seen it once. Probably happens more than we realise.

    SOLD Harrison Chimera 3 12' 2.25

    Thanks Paul. Sounds good. I've actually not had any problem using 2lb Torrix on the Wye or LS but generally will be fishing near side. And as you say wouldn't go far side with more than a 2 1/2oz filled feeder. I'm having the rods from Kevin, and yes, some method feeder work, 3oz leads with...

    SOLD Harrison Chimera 3 12' 2.25

    Hi Rich. As I'm going to have to do a fair bit more lake fishing I'm looking at rods that will be ok for decent tench, but will handle 20lb plus carp if needed. Also may use for lower Severn Zander fishing, popping out 3 oz leads with small roach or bleak. I've got the powemesh 2.25 s that...
