I would take that with a pinch of salt Colin. The basia blanks are exceptional for barbel

I had a pair. Good powerful rods for heavier chucking. 6oz no problem at all. Rings a little on the small side

It’s extremely common with bolt rigs to be set up to drop the lead the moment the fish is hooked. Yep it’s ludicrous i agree and a compulsory enforcement on certain rig types would be a far better move than simply changing the product that’s going to continue to get dumped

For what we lose in the rivers I would dare say it’s a long long way off the top of the problem list. Even our lead drop safe rigs are only designed to lose leads if quite a lot of pressure is applied and even then in most cases the fish is netted with the lead. Definitely the issue lies in...

I had a little metric Myford ml10 in my garage for a lot of years and for its size it was an amazing little lathe. you could take decent cuts and do very accurate work unlike these mini watch makers things. Coupled up with a 4x6 bandsaw and a vertical slide, there wasn’t much that couldn’t be...

It is but what on earth have they done with the two rod version. Thankfully I bought mine to house a float rod and my wading tripod which don’t take a lot of room because it’s a tight fitting quiver with no thought for large but guides Nothing like the generous space associated with the 3 rod

Yeah course I will Bob I go away this Friday back on the 14th.

Appreciate the kind words chaps. Yeah I’ll help Garry out if he wants it no problem

The main advantage of using a mat is the element of control you have regarding what the fish is laid on. a patch of thick soft wet grass is a lovely thing and will house a fish just perfectly but unless you grew it from seed and stood and watched it grow there is no telling what it hides and a...

6x 4g would be convenient for me mark and I think a 7th might find its way in the box foc for your flexibility on it mate. No more orders now until the 4 lots are shipped off next week and I can see what is left. Slowly but surely I’m running the stock of bodies down. Got some 2g beck and...

Absolutely pointless Mike you are dead right. It doesn’t bring anything useful to the reel whatsoever In fact all it does bring is less leverage/cranking power and a tiny little handle that offers very little grip.

All 4’s

I’ll do it all in one batch Kevin. 6 floats. I’ll pm you when the other 2 are done

What do you fancy Mark. If I ain’t got it I’ll knock it up for you

Very very few of these come up for sale nowadays. Best of luck with it Ian

I’ve caught them on bread but granted they were not the desired species. very high water/flood conditions i actually favour cheese for them over other more classic barbel baits. I’ve had quite afew on cheese by design yet it’s another not really associated with them. To be fair you could...

A load more 4’s drip drying and ready for next weeks post if anyone wants em. 90% red tops. There’s afew 5’s in there too reserved for @Kevin Copping if still wanted. Again all reds this time round.

From my experience In double legged form the minima guides are fine but if your after singles I’d be looking at others personally.

Nice choice I have had them on mine for a number of years now and I love em. So strong and reliable. I have 20mm on the butt and that goes up to a 7mm tip 7 guides plus tip guide 8 in total for me.

Useful information there Wayne. Please don’t come within 10 feet of me should you ever see me fishing somewhere 😂😂
