    Who made this blank?

    I had a pair of the 12ft Carbon Kevlar NW rodcraft rods for my big Bream fishing back in the late 80’s. A ceramic ring came out of the tip eye so i rang them in a panic and they told me to either post it to them or call in the factory at Middleton in Manchester. I drove down and they were great...

    Gudgeon rod

    Just watched the video on that link. What a wrist action that guys got!! Never thought of fishing the far bank margins for Gonks! 🤣

    Your angling journey.

    I started as most do, being taken by my dad. The night before, making bread paste & tying ‘casts’ which were carefully wrapped around carboard & placed in an empty tobacco tin was sometimes more exciting than the tiny Crucians we caught in the local pond but seeing the float go under had me...

    Korum Latitude 5000 x2

    Bought these for my son when he started fishing to come Barbel fishing with me but he went down the Pike/Catfish path and only ever used them once. Mint condition & nice reels to be fair but surplus to requirements. Perfectly good reels for Barbel/Tench etc and a bargain at £60 posted if interested

    Neoprene Boots

    ‘Dirt Boot’ wellies are really good. I bought a pair about 10 years ago as i couldn’t afford the high end wellies ‘Grubs’ etc that i wanted at the time. I’ve used & abused them and they are still going strong! Well made, comfortable and have outlasted all my mates expensive wellies!

    British Army DPM (camo) Goretex for sale

    Does anyone want a set of British Army Goretex jacket & trouser in DPM? Would fit a tall & slim person. I’m 6’3” with 34” waist and they fit perfect. The jacket is an X long with plenty of sleeve length and outer pockets (hardish to find). Will fit a 42” chest and still fit a fleece under. Both...

    Wanted: Daiwa SS1600

    Over the last few years i have given myself the luxury of having a complete set up for every type of fishing i do. I have a rucksack & rod bag/quiver for each set up that is ready to go with everything needed. Pleasure, barbel, general specimen, Perch, Pike & trotting. Whatever i fancy doing, i...

    Wanted: Daiwa SS1600

    I can’t warrant that sort of price tbh. I have quite a few OC’s and love them. They do everything i need and can’t really see how spending more can get me anything better? I’ve just put some line on the spare spool of the SS1600 and must say it feels better on the rod than in the hand! I’m...

    Wanted: Daiwa SS1600

    My SS1600 turned up today(courtesy of Jim Gregory-thank you!) & have to comment on how ‘Agricultural’ it feels! You’re right that they aren’t smooth, well balanced or quiet (quite the opposite) but having said that, it has got a certain charm and looks bombproof which is a plus for a spot of...

    Perch

    Noted! Are you trotting with worm (& magott) or flicking a static bait out into likely areas?

    Perch

    Perch

    Yes, i’ve been fishing the canals and although they are in there, it’s not that enjoyable tbf. There is a couple of local ‘commercial’ type waters with a few lumps but again, not very enjoyable (i’m sounding too fussy). I’ll have to give it a go on the Severn as that would really appeal! I’ve...

    Wanted: Daiwa SS1600

    I was hoping the SS1600 is more 4000 size as the 2600 looks slightly too big for what i want? All very confusing when it comes to reel sizes.

    Perch

    That is a stunning ‘new’ looking Perch!

    Perch

    Wow! Would love a river perch (Llymm AC) but only tend to fish for Barbel these days. Didnt think it would be worth it but it obviously is!

    Wanted: Daiwa SS1600

    Yes sorted thanks. My first choice was the GS as i also have the baitrunner version & like them but the reviews of the SS all seem to rave about the clutch so i thought i’d try one.

    Perch

    I’ve always used Daves for most of my stuff. Probably the best shop i’ve ever been in! I’ll order mine from there as no stock at the moment
