    braid for mainline

    This is absolute rubbish,I've been using braid for the last 3 years and caught in excess of 80 barbel and a lot of chub which I don't count but probably more and I can honestly say that I haven't seen any fish damage.I do use longish hook links ie 24 inches or so.Like others I dont use it on the...

    I was fishing the Wye in June and a single skull and a pair from Ross Rowing club collided in my swim so I shouted "two of you and one of him,must be Pimms o'clock"........they didn't find it nearly as funny as me !!!

    slim blank

    The Free Spirit rod are slimmer than the Torrix but the action is much more tippy,that's why I went to Bob a few years ago and got a couple of 1.75lb Torrix ang I've not be disappointed,these cover all my fishing from the Kennet to chucking feeders half way across the Wye.Rather than how they...
