The irony! :p🤪✌

2 x Daiwa Windcast z5000. Really good mint condition, these have been sat in my tackle shed for over a year now not being used so it is time for them to find a new home. Loaded with 12lb Nash nxt d-camo line and the spare spools loaded with 18lb of the same. These reels have upgraded handles...

Dave and Jon, what models did you go for as spodding reels?

I've got the Avon/Quiver rod (1.25tc) so not exactly what you are asking but I do not like the action of the rod as there is a massive flat spot. These rods have a bit of a cult following and I bought one off the back of some good feedback but I found them a bit cheap looking and as I just said...

They are very good at hooking......................CHUB:):p They are work for barbel but I wouldnt say they are better than standard bottom baits. Baitworks do little 8x13mm wafters that balance a size 8 Pallatrax hook perfectly. I stopped getting chubby rattles with this set up; they were...

I would say that is the difference between being educated and being ignorant, and my point was education is how we progress. I should have remembered that all anglers are thick idiots and progression is beyond us;)

But, what about the fact that barbel are often still spawning come June 16th? I have seen them as late as 26th spawning, actually spawning. 50 yards down stream anglers fishing because they are allowed to do so!! How does the current closed season dates protect against this? It doesn't. Being...

...and the signed DVDs :):p

The old ‘Trefor West and Tony Miles’ advice would still stand on this one; 3 or 4 swims back from where you would find them in the summer. This is very generic advise, and will hold you in good stead, but, I have also found them in the actual summer swims come the back end of the season; with...

Yes please, Andy. I'll take them.

PALLATRAX SIZE 6 AND PALLATRAX SIZE 8- THESE ARE THE BEST BARBEL AND CHUB HOOKS GOING, IMHO. :cool:;)

Awesome!

There is a bargain on their website: 20kgs of chops for 40 quid If I had the room Id snap up.

If you can get an old John Wilson Avon Quiver then get one of those. The old masterline ones are great all round rods and I am gutted that I busted the quiver top on my one. Just as a bit of balance to some of the other recommendations; I have a Darent Valley Avon quiver and I HATE it. Awful...

Cheers, yeah I thought it might get in the way. Think I might treat myself to one of them.

Can you remove the table bit in the middle of the the Aqua roving rucksack, Jon?

Pallatrax the hook. All sizes. Never worry about hooks for barbel fishing again.

Bloody meddling Townies!

Sorry to hijack your thread Mick, but I have a set of these and the line clips are atrocious. Is there different line clips available which are easily swapped? I put some marker-elastic underneath mine and this stops the line from being pinched by the evil clips!
