I went and checked out the pro logic stalking seat box thing at go outdoors...... wasn't overly impressed it isn't quite big enough for me. I don't carry a vast amount of kit but if just wasn't quite there for me. I did however spot the chub superlight (?) Chair that really is very light and...
Thanks Justin, I did wonder if the barbel had ended up in that bit of the Nene via the Ise, though I always thought the Ise ran into a lake of sorts which then fed into the Nene out the back of the pikey camp? Never fancied leaving my truck there long enough to have a good look when I had a...
I know that there's some lovely chub and roach in there, and it was apparently stocked with small barbel a few years back. Was curious if anyone here fished it for anything. I have plenty of barbel stretches to go at but I'm always open to a change of scenery, especially if it's local.
I must admit I do keep looking online at the pro logic bag/seat thingy that was mentioned earlier. Has anyone got one? I might go have a look at one in Go Outdoors and ask santa nicely for one I too am fed up of carrying a chair around when I really don't need it. It wouldn't be great for...

Thanks guys! Since I've switched to centrepins though they've not been used at all, and unlikely to be needed now as all I fish for is barbel on small rivers with the odd day tench fishing on a small pond in the spring. Gotta get my bits sold to pay for this mot bill. I really dislike being a...
Pair of 5000GTE twin handle baitrunners. Come with a spare spool each. Both in great condition. Selling due to having bit of a thin out and a very painful car mot bill! £offers as I'm not entirely sure what they go for nowadays...... PM is fine. Collection from Huntingdon, Cambs.

Will take and post pics if required. Pick up near Huntingdon, Cambs.
I fish a small river that had a night fishing ban imposed a couple of years ago as the circus turned up chasing a couple of publicised big fish. Now I've always caught more barbel during the day than at night, I fish at night, I fish several hours into dark most trips I take however I just don't...
I think as long as the rig is safe should the mainline break, then you're good to use whichever rig you're happy with. In terms of all that kind of stuff for barbel, from my point of view fishing small rivers at very close range, a well camouflaged running rig is simple, safe and effective...
I hear you there Hugo, I try to fish a beautiful day ticket lake in the spring but every time the experience is ruined for me by the same types you describe as above. What gets me is that with all their gear and magazine tactics, they don't seem to catch too many.......
Hi all,
I've left this a bit 11th hours but it's dawned on me I'm on holiday with the wife, little one and in-laws in Wales next week and I may need the urge to get out and wet a line. Is there anywhere around Machynlleth, say within an hour drive that I can do some Pike fishing? I've googled...
Nets and handles have been an issue for me for a while, I have what I consider the best handle for over 10 years now, probably longer, I can't even recall what brand - if any - it is but it has a fool proof locking system and is super long. I picked it up at a local shop but my only worry is the...
I dunno, 3lb tc seems way too much for the small waters I fish...... I've had 20's out of my local drains on my 2.75 carp rods and never felt I needed anything heavier when it comes to landing fish. Surely the test curve is more important for casting and the action more important for fish...
