    Korum tripod adapter. What you need to know

    Got all the bits for this now and really struggling to get the Preston angle adapters to be symmetrical either side. Driving me insane !!! I don’t these the Korum speed adapters help matters either.

    Korum tripod adapter. What you need to know

    It was the last one on eBay I’m guessing they were selling them off. Here’s the link for you just in case: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115941716899?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=o6nnCOQxTn-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Fwud_PeiRnS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Bait

    I only started using his baits recently. I’ve fished a new stretch of the Avon all of last year and didn’t have a single barbel. Then I made some homemade boilies with some of his flavours and had 2 fish in 2 visits. Confidence ?!?!? He’s recently re-released Search-4 and bringing out pick n...

    Korum tripod adapter. What you need to know

    Excellent thread - been looking for a tripod recently but didn’t want to fork out £70 on something that got rarely used. Managed to find one of these new on eBay for £9.99 just now.

    Big Cat sightings

    I had a parameter from about 25-years ago who’s uncle was into exotica and kept an array of Burmese pythons, lizards and birds. We were around his one day and he was going through his photo albums of animals and came across a pictures of him sat with a bit cat through varying stages of age...

    Bank Tackle discount

    Ordered Sunday and arrived today, great service. These hooks are immensely sharp and as others have said do come up a little larger vs. the competition. I opted for: 10, 8 & 6. Great value for money and looking forwards to trying the out.

    Bar Codes in Angling DIrect

    I always scan barcodes in shops to see alternative pricing, or for the actual pricing if it’s missing on the shelf edge label. A barcode is typically a “Code 128” flat text tile and can’t have any £££ value associated to it, it will just return a series of alpha-numeric values. A QR code on...

    Big Cat sightings

    I saw some huge prints up at Barford (Avon) a few weeks ago underneath one of the bridges. It was only when I got back to the car I realised I should have probably taken some photos with a can of coke for scale. It was the same day I went arse over tit so didn't really fancy the walk back...

    J W Young Reels, History, Assembly and Use

    Just got my Ray Walton as seen in this video - it looks too beautiful to use !!! Got a bit of a bargain as was £385 (£399 RRP) new but got 15% in the Boxing Day sale so paid £327 for it in the end.

    J W Young Reels, History, Assembly and Use

    Just treated myself to the Ray Walton Y4050SLG. Went to buy it today and a certain retailer has it at 15% off so saved a good chuck of cash especially as their RRP was £385 anyway.

    Korum folding spoon spares

    I had this problem with my folding spoon. I emailed Korum and they wanted £4.99 for the spreader block (that’s fair) but £10.50 postage !!! Needless to say I told them where to go and swore to never buy their brand again. The following week I was in my local tackle shop and moaned about their...

    Are you happy to pay to watch fishing videos?

    I find watching more and more of the older 90s/00s on YouTube lately as the new stuff has become tiresome. I always check weekly for new Barbel / Chub videos and there are so many anglers now who Vlog and churn out the same old stuff. They basically sit on the same stretch, all use the same...

    Flood Conditions...

    A lot of flood water fishing starts in the Summer. Take pictures of the pegs you fish and look for drops / ledges where fish could sit when there is extra water on. As others have said, slack water and a roving approach work well. If you haven’t had a fish in 10-mins then move on as it’s...

    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    I had this during the Summer on the Avon this year. Couldn’t move and vaguely remember shouting my mates name out. Very scary at the time.

    Bank chair

    Fox duralite. Not cheap but every well built and light as a feather. IMO the best chair out there and you can’t put a price on convenience when on the bank.
