Yep discontinued apparently. I just sold mine and bought a pair of shimano 6000 OC. I do like the ss2600 more but there is something so convenient about a baitrunner on the river, particularly if using two rods and it’s dark. I couldn’t afford to keep both but will miss the clutch, weight and...

I only have to get a cold or something for an excuse to order a custom rod 😂

Scarpa SL Active, I'd like another pair but my first did me for 6 years of hard use. Mainly in the mountains but they were also great on the river. Personally I prefer a wellie when fishing, mainly because I'm lazy but a good boot is hard to argue with. They are a proper leather boot and if you...

The lower Severn is quite good for birding, I haven't seen anything unusual but groups of long tailed tits, sparrow hawks, owls, starlings, skeins of geese. There's a lowland feel to it that is very different from the Wye. Having moved, I've been enjoying the Ribble recently. Oyster catchers...

Well, I ordered some of the Ambush pellets. They stink. Even through the plastic. Thank you all for the recommendations.

Personally thought the synchro xt was horrible, I stuck with gr60 for a while after that. I’m happy with either hydrotuff or GTHD now. I’m a Gardner fan boy for line.

Does anyone know of any 2/3oz versions other than the Korum? I’m not going to mod anything but would rather buy a better made one if possible. I can see the 4oz fox converted ones on eBay. Has anyone used those? The ones in the Bfw shop look good, are these likely to be back in stock at any...

No, just wish I had an excuse to buy it 😂 Although happy to accept a proportion of your sale price 😉

I had a pair of the 11ft 3lbs, they were amazing rods. Not well suited to the water I ended up fishing but did manage to christen one with a 35lber before moving them on. Such a great playing action. Anyone tempted, go for it 🤓

Let us know how it goes 👍

are they more active in day or night? do they carry on through the winter?

Nice one! Bet that was exciting.

The last ones I had total faith in were Hinders Barbel Blitz in about 2015, but I think they lost access to the flavour. Three Rivers Rolling still uses it it in one of their boilies though.

Well I'm certainly more confused than when I started, so thank you all 😁

On wasting your time buying a second rod though, no harm in having another five.

The only time I’ve used two on the Wye is on a big open stretch, commanding a lot of river and in February when I felt I was trying to eek one out. Sometimes I did have one on each 15mins apart or something, so it was worth doing. I am thinking about using two on the Ribble but it would probably...

That's polite, I was thinking more along the lines of 'battered'.

Evening all I was just wondering what everyone’s favourite pre drilled pellets are at the moment? I haven’t used any for a few years but would like to get some 8mm jobbies to do a bit before autumn. Does anyone used the three foot twitch ones? Thank you

I believe there’s some nice carp in there. I did some work experience many years ago with the land agents that managed the place. From memory there was a meeting going on with a colonel who worked there and I had to wait in the car 😂 I had a black eye after an eventful weekend and probably...

I imagine there was some contrasting emotions at either end of that sale. I'm not in the position atm but I will probably get in touch one day then Keith to see if you still have it 👍
