    Hinders of Swindon - great service

    Yeah I had the same. Looks like they removed it when this offer is on. No biggy as £4 is pretty reasonable for delivery I think.

    Hinders of Swindon - great service

    Good stuff. Shame the “free delivery” offer wasn’t combined with the 15% discount.

    Hinders of Swindon - great service

    Their moulding machine broke and was not economical to repair or replace hence the revised barrel shape. Still the same recipe and still catches fish. Had all my chub / barbel on x2 superglued together on a hair the last few seasons. It’s the one bait I won’t leave home without.

    Solid pva bag fishing

    I find them a faff especially as you have to perforate them otherwise they float to the surface and end up miles downstream. I personally stick with PVA mesh bags and / or a stringer (if using boilies).

    Making your own bait.

    I’ve always thought green would be a decent colour for bait. I know 3FT do one but don’t know of many others.

    July Wye trip

    Does anyone know how to get in touch with Stan please? I’ve tried to join the FaceBook group but my request never goes through. I’m booked on the W&U in Sept (Foy and Creel) for 3-days but we have a 4th day still free and looking to go somewhere different. Sorry for the thread hijack.

    Fishing a low stocked water

    I primarily fish the Avon around Warwick, mainly because I don’t have much time on my hands and I can be on the bank within <15mins for a few hours fishing in the evening. I know it has declined in the last 6-years but it took me two years to get a book so I’m buggered if I’m not going to use...

    Making your own bait.

    Hahah - they wouldn’t let me in either. For those that don’t know you can buy it from the BAF website and it’s well priced: https://www.britishaquafeeds.com/products/powders/base-mixes/tropamino-hmbb-basemix

    Making your own bait.

    I’ve bought some BAF TropAmino HMBB Basemix and going to fish it on one stretch of the river this season with zero flavour to see how I get on. Historically I’ve always used a JB flavour with base mix so will interested to see how I get on. Have started the pre-baiting campaign already.

    Making your own bait.

    Absolutely this. A barbel’s natural diet consists of slugs, worms, insect larvae and mussels. None of which give off a strong scent compared to flavours in home made bait. Also, remember what you smell through your nose is very different to how a fish smells. Their key trigger is amino acids...

    JB Taste F2 basemix

    And me, just can’t justify the postage. I still use JB flavours but get base mix from BAF now.

    JB Taste F2 basemix

    Taste F2 and BS4 worked for me last season. Only issue is if you’re only buying 1kg the cost of shipping is 1/2 the price of the product.

    If you....

    I have a good selection of rods including custom Baby Ballistas but I’d grab my Greys Prodigy 1.75lb rod as it’s got the most memories.

    Harrison baby ballista rods 11ft 2.5lb tc

    I have these exact rods in burgundy and they are superb. Had a double-figure Carp at the weekend and the playing action is lovely, Doesn’t play like a 2.5TC rod at all which is a bonus. I’m going to take mine barbel fishing when the time’s right. £400 is a bargain price for these, I can’t see...

    Visited the most private lake in the UK

    Let’s hope HRH isn’t a member ok here !!! Great story though, and I can confirm there were zero flamingos there. It’s a beautiful place but can see why The Queen didn’t like it as there’s creed, building and traffic noise everywhere.

    It’s Lord Burt thank you very much 😂😂😂 My other half got nominated through work re Services to Education…not bad as she’s only 36. We had a very formal letter drop through the post a few months ago re an invitation to the “Kings Garden Party”. We almost fainted on the floor when we read it ...
