    wanted: fox duo lite avon

    Bit of a long shot as they stopped producing them a while ago but i have one and love it...would love another for perch and roach with alarms but cant seem to find one anywhere. This is the 1lb TC avon model with 0.75lb TC quiver section. Not the lighter specialist version. Please help!

    X line

    For the money i wasnt impressed. Not awfull but not good enough when maxima or sensor are so much cheaper and more reliable...like so many have said i am not convinced by the zero viz properties of even clean fluoro. Take a length snorkelling with you when next somewhere warm enough and you will...

    lovely day on the wye.

    this is brilliant! I would however like to point out that these fish live and forage in the rough and rocky river wye...not a cotton wool factory.

    lovely day on the wye.

    had another awesome day on the wye today, had 10 barbs to 7lb 12oz. unbelievable day with awesome weather and a high and coloured river,.......perfect.....on any other river it would be unbelievable, but on the wye you kind of get the feeling its about par for the course, wish i lived localy.

    lovely day on the wye.

    I did wonder how long it would be before someone mentioned the unhooking mat! I do have one with me for when the bank is stoney etc but it is totally unecessary on lush grassy banks. No the fish were not taken on the float, they were on the feeder, two 10mm pellets on the hair and a further...

    lovely day on the wye.

    and christened the 'new' speedia. river was really pushing through after the rain, still rising with loads of crud unfortunately but at a steady 10 degrees C all day. 4 barbel and a handfull of chub, all fish came late afternoon. no size, biggest pictured at just under 6 but still lovely fishing...

    River wye piking

    River wye piking advice. Got a mate coming up from cornwall soon who wants to get in on some good pike fishing, i initially thought chew might be my destination. but i prefer flowing water and was wondering which beat of the wye is a nice pike fishery. I am not necessarily interested in...

    Sea Bass

    Certainly makes sense doesn't it. Open cornish coast...alot of sand...estuary, mud, weed, rock.

    Sea Bass

    Strange though as the 10lber and the 7lber that i posted on here are from the same area , bigger, and as you can see from the photos on this thread they are both bars of silver. Infact i have never has a bass this colour before and i have caught quite a few fish considerable larger than this...a...

    Sea Bass

    Heres another nice one taken on a lucky craft sammy 10cm...unbelievable lure...seem to be getting alot of larger bass on it at the mo. Anyway...not monstrous but still a nice size at 5lb 9oz, check out how dark the fish is though, really brown and olive coloured, when i first saw it surface...

    Crocodiles

    Crocs have been on my mind a bit recently, am currently trying to decide whether to take a surveying job in Brisbane for a few years but the thought of how many creatures i am likely to run into that can kill me (and some that will actively try to) everytime i go fishing (which is alot) is...

    Barbelon a pin

    I have always used a pin to float fish...standard practice. But am never one that placed the centrepin on a pedestal. However, I have recently learnt to wallis cast...I couldn't believe all the fuss thats chatted about it, one hour and it felt like second nature, achieving some good distances...
