    The impossible rod!

    I have a Pair of the Daiwa Avon Advanced (PSA-119) Identical format to the Powermesh, really well finished as is the Daiwa way, you never seem to hear much about the Daiwa Specialist rods compared to others..... Like a lot of things bought them to try but haven't been able to get out much...

    What compost

    A big pile of well rotted horse muck! We have just transferred about 3/4 of our manure heap onto the land, and it was absolutely stuffed with red worms & dendras, i originally put about 1/4 kilo into it a year or two ago...the horse muck is in/on rapeseed straw as it breaks down much quicker...

    That's a big Otter!

    Two things..... you can apply for a licence to shoot it if it is causing a lot of damage, sometimes they grant them...... And the reason its there is probably because its already had positive contact with humans (RSPCA) and has lost most of its fear of us.....most of the ones in the Gt Ouse have...

    That's a big Otter!

    We have a few around St Ives in Cambs, that is 80 miles inland... Unfortunately they seem to be quite settled to river life and have been around for at least 3 years. They, with the other "furry pests" have denuded the area of larger fish, to the point that there is bugger all chance of catching...

    Daiwa Infinity Advanced Barbel Rod

    To get back to the original question..... I had a pair of the original Infinities, and can confirm that the build quality & components are absolutely top notch. I found that the rods were "springier" than a lot of Barbel rods recovering a lot quicker than most, but in true Daiwa fashion they...

    new fishing jacket

    Have a look at the Cabelas website its in the USA, but ship world wide, i can vouch for the quality of both the lined (very warm) and unlined items, very soft MT50 fabric, and Gore-Tex too, i didn't think it was too expensive, but what you pay generally dictates what you get...

    And I thought wellies were just wellies....

    I use a pair of Barbour Neoprene lined wellies..very comfortable, good for walking and fairly warm, not for sub-zero tho, & not the cheapest! but much better than the Hunter boots they replaced. Have a look at the John Norris website for some decent bargains.... Andy

    Wanted . Shimano xtea double handle

    Double Handle If you can get a double handle from a similar sized reel you can carefully punch out the rivet which secures the handle onto the drive shaft and fit it to the drive shaft of the XTEA. I had to do this with my Twin Power XT-RB's as they only came with a single handle.... Its not...
