I would never feel insulted if I could get that % as a genuine discount Stephen :)

r Not sure about now but a product only had to be advertised in one shop at an inflated price for that price to become the pre discounted price, it was a favourite trick in the furniture industry

One things for sure paying 6 times the price doesn't mean you are going to get 6 times better.

I have one but haven't used it yet, seems ok for what I want to use it for, RRP is ridiculous but then it is on a lot of things, one known fault is the weak ratchet spring so I got a couple of spares just in case, I wont be trotting with mine cant stand up but I have read reports that others...

Nick how small is small?

Might be the way I have posted them that is confusing Ray this is the information for the top fish in a naturalistic river setting, within a rectangular case with bowed glazed front, with label inscribed 'Caught by/ * P.K. James/ River Stour/ Weight 4lbs 6ozs/ Octr. 9th 1906' I have been...

Nothing changes Ray where water companies are concerned

It looks like the auction house has the date wrong Ray, interesting how quickly the royalty fish grew to double figures without all the angler introduced bait that fish benefit? from these days, possibly an indication of the water quality.

It is very early Ray, the date is from the auction house bumph this is it below J. COOPER & SONS BARBEL mounted amongst reeds, bears interior taxidermists paper label, Caught July 9th 1897 Royalty Fishery - River Avon by A.F. Grant member of Hampshire Angling Society, weight 5lbs 10ozs, in...

Caught 1906 Lots of examples of old case mounted Barbel pic host It appears that for a barbel to be set up the fish did not have to be big, this was a Royalty fish caught in 1897 weighing 5lbs 10 ozs image sharing

Best played very loud Jim :)

That's the first I have heard of Paul but it does show that river escapees are in these pits and who knows how big they could get?

Could a gravel pit fish grow big enough to take the record? there must be some in gravel pits that are left overs from floods in rivers adjacent to the pits.

I thought that myself Jim but hadn't the testicular fortitude to post it :)

Thank you Dennis. So in theory a fish of 18/19 lbs would be getting very near to the record if not over the record weight.

How much spawn would an 18lb fish carry? could it take it over the record weight?

Trent for me, I know of fish nearing 18lbs as well as backup fish, there is mile upon mile of unfished water on this river.

Used it in boilie mixes many years ago, dont see any reason why it shouldn't work with paste the problem is getting the inclusion level right.
