Looking for something 15 - 17ft range for chub trotting, so not as beefy as a barbel rod but a bit heavier than a `silvers` type match rod. If you`ve got something suitable please let me know. Not too bothered about age or a bit of flaking varnish as long as it`s decent quality & free from...

I had one on the bank at Naburn lock about 4 years ago, it had got tangled up on the hooklength - I did inform the EA but they didn`t seem too concerned. It was 9" across the legs - it lost a leg in the untangling process, scuttled off & dropped back in. A neighbouring angler enquired `what...

Well done - I fished there 40 years ago & it was such a lovely spot. Nice to think it`s still there. We`ve got those blooming turbine things stuck on some of the Yorks rivers - I don`t approve!

I used some 22mm plastic pipe, (which is very cheap) & timber `hangers` about 12" long to make a sort of upside-down roof rack across the garage. Hangers fixed to the joists, pipe running through holes near the end of the hangers. If you fix the pipe about 4 feet apart you just reach up & place...

Well I retired to the East Yorkshire coast. The coarse fishing is the worst I have ever experienced in 55 years. As for barbel - I`ve actually given up.....

Not sure if this is common knowledge but came across this & it will give info on water quality & management for your river catchment: http://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/ You can see a breakdown of which factors may be influencing the quality of a river. I had a look at the...

You might be lucky on maggotdrowning.com - some waggler rods in the classifieds or you could put in a wanted ad. Hope you get something suitable.

Hardly used & in lovely condition. This is the Asaki blank model which is well regarded, ideal float rod for trotting for chub, smaller barbel. £75 – collection from Hornsea preferred but would consider posting at cost if you could help with finding a safe courier.

Had a bit of an experiment with the grains - I went to Maltby`s Stores in Hull & got some of their `Huge Hemp` to try & have added the pic of the standard hemp from the pigeon place, tares & HH. It`s certainly bigger, seems to split about as well as the small stuff after a 24hr soak. The split...

I picked some hemp up at a local pigeon specialists place, currently being soaked but it seems very small to me - maybe I`m remembering it as being bigger in the past (like Wagon Wheels).. I`ve had a search through various forums & found this recommendation...

First cast at 5am but apart from tap tap tap (Bloody Greta Garbo...) didn`t connect with the culprits in the next 5 hours.

Crikey - £365 - hope it gets used!

Forgot the link ....:confused: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282512683547?_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Came across this by accident on Ebay & it`s obvious the seller isn`t an angler but the price is going up... Never heard of this rod but I think I do know the name Gerry Swanton - Hampshire Avon roach chap? Do you think it`s pokey enough for barbel?
