I’m looking for a couple of mini baitrunners, which are smaller than my Shimano 4000D’s, so ideally in 2500 to 3000 reel size. Does anyone have experience of this reel in size 2500: https://www.daiwasports.co.uk/product/specialist/19-black-widow-br-lt Or any other similar sized baitrunners...

I used these last season, as have others I know 👍🏻 https://maltbysstores.co.uk/products/hemp-seed

The Lib Dems constantly bang on about it, so they'll get my vote..... I just don't understand why Keir Starmer, has never asked a single environmental based question during his time as the opposition leader? Not once has he raised the subject of sewage or the privatised water companies, during...

JRM is playing games here, as is doesn’t explain how New Labour, Tory/Lib Dem coalition and then successive Tory governments, just sat back and let them get away with it and without proper regulation. The combined private water company debt went from zero to £60+ billion. It’s the biggest...

They are currently like rocking horse sh*t, so hence the original question.

Thanks Joe 👍🏻

Can anyone confirm if Shimano baitrunner D are OC spools interchangeable?

Kev Baines 1.5lb 11’ Specialist No 1 - My fav Barbel rod. Acolyte Plus float rod, will cover most things on the float. Drennan Vertex 11’ Carp Feeder - Best Chub quiver rod that I’ve ever owned, it’s perfect! Sold my original Drennan Super Specialist Duo 1.25lb rod, after buying it and no I’m...

I now use the Sainsbury’s Chopped Pork and Ham, it’s also much cheaper than Spam and is very similar in texture.

Herb Boilies sounds like some American dude!

If we are talking link ledger in the true sense, I’ve never personally felt the need to do it and when fishing for both Chub and Perch on rivers. I instead use a free running rig, incorporating both the lightest lead and slow taper quiver tip that I can get away with. For close in work, the...

Drennan released a social media post today, where a guy who caught a 3lb Grayling, was using a ‘prototype 17ft Acolyte rod‘. Now assuming this is a stepped up version, I will definitely be interested

I'm also not getting this E.A. only link, as it was Fish Legal who challenged NRW a couple of years back re phosphate pollution on the Wye, as a result of the spreading of poultry muck as fertiliser in Powys. You may recall that NRW came back quoting data from 2009 and 2015, stating there was no...

I'm generally all for rewilding schemes, I think its fantastic, when we live in one of the most nature depleted countries on the planet. Bring it on! This said I see nothing but conflict ahead with Beavers, as in the UK we have no true wilderness (and that includes Scotland) or significant...

Are you restricted to watching it on your phone/tablet, or can you actually get it onto your TV? I know that Apple is quite restrictive in this respect, for their devices, as they expect a cut £££

I am intending to list a mint Okuma Kennet Centrepin on here later this week. Just need to take some photos and it’s a great trotting pin.

A few years ago people seemed to be all over it as a BIG NO, with the suggestion that you can damage the mouth of the Perch. They still do it on all the Scandinavian Perch videos I watch, including with some hefty fish, holding them from the mouth and just let to fish hang down. Personally Ive...

Yep see the Daiwa offerings thanks, its finding someone who has used one that is the problem

Does anyone have experience of currently available 17ft float rods, other than the Acolyte? I want one for Perch fishing, laying on under a float, with 6lb Mainline and 5lb hooklengths. I also won’t be holding the rod, so it will mostly be fished on the rod rest with a centrepin. The Drennan...

A couple of days ago on the Severn and at current high water levels, Perch options were somewhat limited at this height. Had an idea of where may be fishable and fortunately it was. Started on a weedless Texas rig, but no interest from the fish. Switched over to a floating worm in a different...
