    A Proper Camera

    Some may find it too bulky but i find it great..... I have got the Canon G1X. I cannot recommend it highly enough and the picture quality is amazing. Even though i have not used it myself - there is a wink (yes wink) self-timer setting. Set yourself - wink and this triggers the self timer...

    Dynamite Baits Boilie Chops

    Nick, When pre-baiting do you introduce all your bait with a dropper/spomb, a catapult or a good old fashioned flick of the wrist? Does this change depending on the size of river you are pre-baiting? When you pre-bait in the closed season would i be right in guessing you tend to pre-bait a...

    Perch

    Julian, Have you looked at drop shotting? - a really enjoyable and addictive method and if i can catch doing it anybody can !! My local canal has been very coloured so i have been using very brightly coloured soft plastic shads/minnows and catching. Lots of info for beginners like me online...

    Dying on it's backside.

    Quick point - and don't bite my head off - I've just caught up with the last few pages of this thread. Lee, who i'd like to add i do not know, gave his opinion and basically has been told by a few of you "if you don't like it FO" and in other words if he does not like what is on here then do...

    Dying on it's backside.

    OK - that is the rules but which one of these rules does Ade's post contravene? I mean to a level that is worse than what has been posted by other members before? I'm not trying to stoke an argument at all but merely interested as Ade is a good bloke and a mate and i believe his post was...

    Inline weights

    Whilst i nearly always use a running rig i will occasionally use an inline lead with a Korda hooklink clip which enables me to detach my hook length , which i put bait on and then use a bait needle to thread my hooklink through a my PVA stocking.

    Tackle Theft

    I'm sure it's not just the rods and reels though Neil it's all the little one off pieces of kit that an angler adds to his armoury over the years, and kit with a personal meaning to the angler- whether it be a gift from a mate or a deceased granddad etc. That's the kit that is sadly...

    what to do?

    Leon, As i fish opposite the BS stretch my advice would be have a go on the Wye mate as it is very slow down Bransford at the moment and until we get some extra water to flush the system i am not going to try down there again.

    Drennan twistlock won't lock!

    Dave, I am quite aware of that - i don't need to look as i have seen it mentioned on here lots of times and other forums. I was merely adding my experience and suggesting a possible avenue of rectification for someone who has suffered same problem as me. Merely voicing an opinion. You are...

    Drennan twistlock won't lock!

    Yes but I have had mine 4 or 5 years and i go fishing 3/4 times a week so it's had a lot of use so for me what drennan have done was a positive.

    Drennan twistlock won't lock!

    Contact Drennan. I emailed them with the problem and received a prompt reply from a guy called Sean Trafford. He told me to phone the office when i had my handle with me, i did and he sent me a replacement bung for free - my old one had become worn and my handle wouldn't tighten. I had tried...
