I’ve used plenty of different braids over the past twenty years and the one I’m using now is spiderwire smooth, I’m swapping over to it on my barbel rods, the dia is thin but I’ve found the knot strength is brilliant

Hi Chris have you looked at fishing tackle online

5 turn grinner onto a quick change swivel with a fig8 loop on the fluro leader

I don’t know if I over gun it but I use 65lb powerpro which has a dia of .41 which is about equal too 20lb mono and with the rig tube I’ve never lost a rig through abrasion on rocks and pulling out of snags is easier

I use two diawa powermesh 2.75 for the Trent to make sure I get them out a quick as possible and two of the same rods in 1.75 for the small rivers

I use powerpro it sits better on the reel

That’s all I use, it’s not very forgiving but if you set your clutch right it’s fine, I always put about 12” of rig tube just above the hooklink to stop it rubbing on rocks

Crikey, I started this thread to get people talking during the second lockdown instead of being sat at home waiting to criticise others, p.s I’m not bored I’m on the riverbank

Does anyone think the same as me, when I get too the river and look for a swim I always make sure I don’t go anywhere near any other angler who’s on the bank side even if he’s near the swim I want too fish, if it’s too busy I’ll go elsewhere and definitely don’t go a peg down stream of them...

And my wife won’t go near me when I’ve used them 😂

No word of a lie I’ve just started back barbel fishing after about 15 years away predator fishing and I had a tub of halibut pellets covered in halibut oil in the fridge (outside in the shed)all this time, I’ve been using them over the last few months with no problems and I’ve had nice fish on...

It dropped over the weekend Richard

Last tues night I got both rods wiped out by a tree and lost some bits off one of my reels there old Shimano dl 10000 ra’s so I’m looking to replace the spool so if anyone has one laying around give me a shoutplease.some pictures of the reel, got my Pb shortly after so it wasn’t that bad 😂

Definitely lucky pal, I felt the wrath off the wife when I strolled in at midnight with blood all over my face lol,she thought I’d been fighting

That’s what’s annoying Paul, I’ve got a life jacket because I’ve got a bloody boat

Cheers Richard, my luck changed last week when I broke my Pb with this lovely fish, bang on 14lb
