    Perch Rods

    I came across a cheap second hand 11ft Acolyte carp waggler yesterday and couldn't resist so I now have a perch option. It should work quite well I think and could double for trotting for chub on smaller rivers. I'm still tempted with a Darent valley .75lb so I have a second rod. Thanks for all...

    Perch Rods

    Recommended footwear

    They are good Rich as are the grubs version which you can usually can usually pick up a little cheaper. I get through them quickly walking the dog, they usually start to perish after a year or so. Hence the move to jack pyke this time.

    Recommended footwear

    Jack Pyke ankle wellies are really good for spring / autumn and very cost effective

    Flask recs please

    Dammit I've gone and ordered a new flask that I didn't even suspect that I needed before reading this thread. Still at least it's cheaper than most of the other purchases I've made following late night bfw visits.

    Waterproof Recommendations

    I find goretex loses it waterproofing pretty quickly and wets out. You can reproof but it never seems to last as well and is pretty pricey reproofing all tge time. I switched to Paramo kit a good few years back and I've been really pleased with it. It's a little warmer than goretex which works...

    Pellet users

    Has anyone else noticed that 1kg bags of pellets have become 900g but mysteriously the price has stayed the same. Shrink-flation I think they call it

    Hook Sharpener Recommendation Required Please

    It's something I've been considering a lot recently. I think a file could be really useful when you are in the middle ground, not as sharp as it could be but not blunt enough to consider changing. I've been thinking one of these might be worth a try...

    It's probably 20 yrs old so nothing specific available unless there's something generic out there?

    Brolly System

    After a cold night on the middle trent I'm looking to upgrade my very basic oval brolly. I'm looking for a brolly system rather than a bivvy as I fish the Burton Mutual ticket and they don't allow bivvies on the river. I'll use the brolly on its own on Burton Mutual stretches and the 'system'...

    Baitrunner repair

    That's really kind of you thanks Richard. Leave it with me a day or two as I'm mulling over biting the bullet and going for new reels.
