I`ve never actually used a boilie, but this company was near our previous house & I got the paste of `S7` from them. https://www.dnabaits.com/shop/freezer-bait/boilies-secret7.html I found it was happily munched by chub & barbel on the Yorks rivers. It`s nice & smelly - I actually used it...

A very effective penetrating fluid is a 50/50 mix of atf (automatic transmission fluid) & acetone. It`ll work it`s way through heavy corrosion on machinery parts & should be helpful to you. Not the sort of stuff everybdy has but not difficult to get hold of - nail varnish remover & maybe you or...

Those pics from Oxfordshire are just awful. I had a look at the comments & there are some claiming the willows have been `pollarded` - well there is a difference between pollarding & felling the whole stretch down to the soil! I do hope you can be successful, it seems to fly in the face of EA...

Not mine but spotted this, might suit one of you. It has the carbon rings set into the handle, maybe just has the quiver section but it`s only £30 .... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sear-rover-2-piece-rod-/302034912285?hash=item4652af041d:g:6EcAAOSwEjFXfpBZ

Wondering if anyone has a couple or even one of the old optonics - not bothered about varying tone or volume really - as long as it`s working Ok. Please let me know if you can rescue it from the shed! Many thanks, Julian

If you want to test the bs without twanging the scales, wrap some line round a bucket handle & a handy support for the other end. I use a beam in the garage & wrap line around a big nail hammered in it. Slowly fill bucket with water until it breaks - weigh the bucket. It makes less mess if the...

About 12s into this drone video there is something very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leNugNrRH38 Might be time for 1/2 a tin of garlic spam?

Any chance of messing it up so that you get rid of this default white on grey text? I find it very difficult.

I`ve only got one rod with duplon, picked it up cheaply but it`s a nice old carbon Simpsons tenchfisher 1 which make a good chub rod. The handle isn`t badly marked but above the reel & a bit below it`s gone shiny & appears more compact. I think it might have got `filled in` with greasy hands...

Hello Graham - sorry to disappoint you but I put it on freecycle & it went in about 4 minutes! Hadn`t had time yet to update - if you`re near Selby there is a chance you`d get something suitable at the `tip` - I think this is run privately on behalf of North Yorks & a word with the blokes there...

Hardy Marksman? I`ve never even held one but it`s certainly pricey enough! Hardy Marksman Supero Avon Rod

These seem pretty popular with match carp fishing chaps - anyone using one for smaller river fishing? Seem to have a good spec for the price. Any opinions welcome.

There seem to be some short carp feeder/bomb rods around at the moment - sensitive but beefy enough lower down. I`ve not used one but migth be worth a waggle - something like MAP Parabolix 10ft Bomb Carp Coarse Feeder Fishing Rod + 3 Tips - A5096 | eBay These are for the carp puddles so not...

I sometimes have to use it as an ice pick to lean onto when I`m making my way back up the bank!

Thanks for the tips - I`ve had dinsmores & they are good enough for me, but the local shops just seem to have the polished alloy ones - I`ve been on their website & they do one in green - Dinsmores | Metalware : SYNDICATE CARP STICKS : Large Image a `Syndicate` carp version - I think the inner...

I`m looking to replace a pair of banksticks - I`ve had these for ages & painted them when new - this has peeled off as alloy doesn`t take paint well. Is there anyone producing some light but strong maybe grey or dark anodised sticks which are not polished to a mirror finish? Don`t really want...

I bought one of these last year & it`s not had as much use as I`d like but has stood up very well - apparently the same item as more expensively branded versions - https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sun-2-aug/product-detail/ps/p/fishing-bag-4/ Some other fishing bits including a cool bag &...
