    Drennan Specialist Tench and bream rods/Shimano Aero 5000RE reels

    Both MK1 and MK2 came in 1.75lb and 2lb TCs In the MK2 versions the 1.75 has a through action, the 2lb is more of a distance casting rod

    SONIK Specialist Barbel

    Thanks Adam Could be a cheap option for a third big bream/tench rod while I wait until I can afford another Torrix

    VERY Waterproof jacket

    I like a bargain, I also like nice, high quality stuff so it’s good to read about both and be able to search for it later when I’m looking to buy. I also get a bit of a vicarious thrill from reading people talking about and getting nice gear. Sad, but true.

    Daiwa spectron competition 13/15 rated 2lb-8lb line ****SOLD****

    Love the Spectrons, I've had a few and they've all been great rods. I lost the bag for an M2 13' waggler, they sent me a better replacement straight away post-free.

    Rod recommendation

    It’s just not in some of them is it? One of my sons loves it, the other doesn’t understand why we go, even though he’s been to some lovely spots and caught some beautiful fish, and he’s the one I’d have thought would be the angler

    Rod recommendation

    Fwiw I got my boys a 7ft river ambush, it’s perfect for the Upper Lea

    Rod recommendation

    The scopes come up second hand on eBay but they go for the same price they were new.

    Hi Nikolett I would put this in the classifieds, it’s where wanted ads go

    NEW ! The grand fishing adventure

    We’re lucky that theres plenty of niche stuff on YouTube and elsewhere the internet these days. The sort of stuff that gets onto the BBC and the ITV channels costs a packet to produce. I read that they only film four hours of fishing a day on Mortimer and Whitehouse

    Power-Assisted Lightweight Trolley

    The Powerwalkers do weigh a ton though don’t they? I got one after spine surgery and did my back in lifting it into the car when I collected it after buying it on eBay. Even with the battery removed it’s heavy. Roger, it looks like you’re a long way away from me in North London otherwise I’d...

    Bob’s not very well at the moment, he was taken into hospital during filming the other day 🤞

    Fergal, from the heart

    He's been really good, we couldn't have had a better spokesperson. Its come at a really important time as well. All Truss's talk of tax cuts and growth hides another agenda which is deregulation. RSPB, Wildlife Trusts and National Trust have all criticised her plans to scrap environmental...

    Angling crossroads.

    Sorry you’re having problems. I’m facing something similar, it takes a bit of adjustment mentally and a bit more effort than usual to find something that suits but it’s got to be better than putting yourself in danger. I did more tenching this year when I was able to get out, it wasn’t the...

    Chairs

    Same, very light and comfortable, although I’m about 11 stone so it doesn’t need to be as robust I use it for carrying all my gear as well - jacket unhooking mat and small tackle box and bait

    What's the forecast.

    We’ve got it good here compared to some places. In Croatia on holiday the second week the local forecast got everyday completely wrong, heavy rain every day when it was clear blue skies. When I asked the hotel reception they shrugged their shoulders and smiled. I’ve also noticed the bbc...

    Talk about peaking too early.

    I can guess the shape of his Christmas present already 😂

    Talk about peaking too early.

    Brilliant and top Dadding! A special moment he’ll never forget. My two caught their first Barbel this Summer, the pleasure they get from fishing is great to see at that age. No phones, devices or tv 👍
