Have a look at your house contents cover first. I don’t have any stand alone insurance for tackle, mine is just covered with house contents insurance - I it covers sport equipment for breakages, fire damage and theft when in use or stored in an outhouse. Up to a total value of 10k and 1k per...

I’ll take these Rob please if not already gone….shall I pay via PayPal as before??

I get virtually zero tangles using these the way I do….I think a lot of tangles are from either not feathering the cast or not reeling in at a constant steady rate.

Yep, GTi bends through the blank lovely but a lot more stopping power lower down than the Avon - this is comparing my peregrine gti with the 4 piece Avon ….not sure if the 2 piece Avon will have a different action but suspect not

When I was younger I used the think the death penalty and punishments like cutting your hands off for stealing (Saudi Arabia) and other such harsh penalties were abhorrent ….these days I seem to be wishing it on more and more of societies worst offenders!

They have made some real quality gear and some real shockers (like most companies IMO) …the gear I really rate are (in no particular order): 1.Original Supalite chair, still going strong after much abuse and just right for roving sessions 2. Original ruckbags 3. Folding quivers 4. Original...

I can take some pics later in week but they are basically these https://www.total-fishing-tackle.com/century-armalite-mk3-supergrade-cork-rod Brand new unused vondition. Not really sure on price, will have a think

I love Armalites and use 2.25 and 2.75 for my carping. Personally I think the 2.5Ib might be a bit over gunned maybe!? If anyone is interested I have a pair of mk3 1.75 Armalites never used, brand new in bags - bought them from a member on here last year to use as bream/tench rods but doubt I...

Never used a Torrix so can’t comment, I think plenty of others on here use them though

Yes own/use both. I tend to prefer to float fish for tench but often also put a helirig feeder out on my peregrine GTI at same time. But if longer range and method feeders needed I use my C3s….that’s what I’ll be doing in a couple of weeks using some Tina berrie boilies on order, the pit is a...

Perfect medium range rods for tench, stepping up to c3 for longer range/weedy waters/heavy feeders

Folding quivers, Supalite chair (original), ruckbag (original) glide mono, bait and tackle bags and bolt/run rigs are IMO and use quality and practical tackle…and I’ll add the recent rover bag into the mix too

I think there is also a bit of snobbery about some of the Korum gear, yes they do have some real clangers in their range but also some quality gear. Rod wise I don’t know anything about the Omega range but their X Calibre range were very impressive, fast action rods that were capable of accurate...

Thanks all, delivery time of the tincaberry sounds an issue so think i might start with Dynamite Robin red on some local advice and order some tincaberry to try alongside

Hoards of ravenous Rudd i was already contemplating these in the 12mm, might just give them a go.

Hoards of ravenous Rudd!!

I tend to mainly float fish for Tench but one of the pits I fish the larger fish tend to come from about 50 yds to some bars (mainly to carpers) so I want to try the boilie and feeder approach this season. I’ve had some success in the past using tutti fruiti or CCMoore live system but was just...

Superb small river rods…and for tench too

I actually thought he comes across completely opposite to this, on the Fishflix vids at least….just basic no nonsense watercraft and bait placement with basic rigs. The video about quivertipping on rivers an example of this, favouring old tackle from the 90s to modern gear. I generally can’t...

I think there is something in our ability to ‘feel’ a sixth sense/intuition/gut feeling whatever you want to call it. As a species Homo sapiens have survived over 300,000 yrs by basically being good at 3 things: finding food, keeping out of danger and reproducing. I think ancient humans did rely...
