    Making your own bait.

    I make my own with JBs stuff , find it more rewarding and adds another dimension to my fishing , personally think off the shelf stuff is much of a muchness and made to a price point . I’ve had some great results with my own bait but very rarely with off the shelf stuff , so that’s good enough...

    Yorkshire Derwent

    I’d look at Howsham it will suit your methods perfectly. I’ve fished it a fair bit and really enjoyed it . In fact I might get another York book this year . It does get busy though especially early on in the season .

    Fox specialist brolly

    I have the Drennan 44” and really like it , I bought it for the tight swims I fish and works well without the centre pole and storm poles . I also have the Korum 50” which is obviously better where there's more room , I fitted the missing storm caps the Korum is missing Not sure what the Fox...

    Torrix or hi s rods

    I spoke to Chas a few times about building me a pair of C3 s gave him the specs I wanted and he was very unresponsive via text , waited ages for an answer which didn’t bode well ended up going to Dave Lumb who did a fantastic rod for a similar price

    Wellies

    Hi Mike I’d say they are wide enough but I like my salopettes over the boot They are much heavier than my Muck boots Derwent , but there 8.5 mm neoprene so a lot warmer than the Derwents I don’t actually feel the extra weight when walking , they do feel like a solid construction though and...
