Final Update Well I had better update this thread,it turned out to be a bit of a saga but no blame can be attached to Korum who have been excellent throughout. I have been hospitalised and therefore unable to follow this matter up,they have now replaced the ruckbag and as I have recovered I...

Fantastic fish,he has obviously done his homework and put some time in,don't blame him for not revealing the venue though. With that tackle he could have pulled a conger in. :D

Update I contacted Korum customer services through their website and have been dealing with a very helpful guy called Stephen Lacey.He told me to take the ruckbag back to the retailer and the Korum rep would look at it. He has got back to me to say they will replace it when they have some...

Well being the owner of a couple of Korum neoteric twin tips I suppose I must be biased:D I can't comment on the Drennan having never had one but I can say that the Korum is an excellent rod with just the right balance of power and ''give''when playing a fish. We all suffer occasionally...

Hi Chris, I can also recommend the Gardner camera adaptor,it is really simple to use and screws into a standard bankstick.I have been using mine for a couple of years now as I am mainly fishing alone. I set my digital camera to timer mode and after some trial and error photos have got it...

One of my favourite hooks also,sadly discontinued.The good news is it has been replaced by the Korum XPower which as far as I can see is exactly the same except it doesn't have the seamless eye.Not a problem if you remember to whip the knotless knot anti clockwise down the shank. I have...

Thanks guys,I paid cash so don't have any record on my bank statements.I would like to get another as it's a brilliant design.I have used the ''contact us''form on the Korum website(hate the security code,I can never decipher the letters:mad:) Will report back here with details about their...

First of all I have to say I own a lot and am a big fan of Korum gear,it is well designed,innovative and good quality.However I have had a problem with the ruckbag xl. The stitching has come apart just above the main zip and just below where the shoulder straps attach to the bag,I realise...

Another vote for the Korum neoteric twin tip,I have a pair of them and use the 2.2 tip all the time on the Trent.Brilliant rod for the money and it's landed some quality fish this year.I also use shimano 5000 baitrunners,this combination is within your budget and I am sure will do the job.

Each to his own Steve but I have not found this,I have landed a couple more doubles on the xpert power hooks(size 8) and they have coped admirably.If you have to discard a hook every 3 or 4 fish then at £1.25 for a packet of 10 it's not going to break the bank:D. They will open out when...

Another vote for the source,I usually fish 2 rods where possible,one baited with halibut pellet and the other with a boilie.I have tried several types of boilie and the only one that has matched and occasionally outscored pellet is the source. For me halibut pellet still rules though,it has...

Have been using the Korum xpert power now for a few weeks and first impressions are good.They are very similar to the discontinued S3 seamless hook,I have compared them closely and the only difference I can see is the eye which is the conventional type(not seamless). The pattern and wire...

I agree with your findings after using the Raptor D7's for several months.The points do seem to turn over too easily. Admittedly I am fishing mainly over gravel but I have found that that the hook points on the mugga,kurv,and S5 are more robust.You would think that the D7 with the inturned...

I reckon we all suffer the inexplicable hook pulls occasionally,over the years I have tried numerous hooks,I have found that in general a curved shank hook is the pattern that reduces the amount of hook pulls. A lot of barbel anglers favour the wide gape,short shank type hooks and I have had...

I have been using coated braid when fishing near snags for a while now.I can recommend PB Products jellywire in 15lbs.It comes in weed green or gravel brown,is very strong,knots well-I use a 5 turn grinner and retains it's colour ok...

You are right Ray,it is an EU directive which was implemented in 2003. See here........http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Framework_Directive It basically commits member states to improving water quality,not sure if they can prosecute though,I thought the EA were responsible for...

Now Sold !

Definitely take it up with the club secretary and committee.Sounds like the rules are being broken regularly and a shake up is needed. If,as someone has intimated the club officials are turning a blind eye and are complicit in this then take the story to the angling press,I think the resulting...

Paul,I think you have got the wrong end of the stick,what Stephen is illustrating is the improvement in water quality of the River Wandle over the last 4 years since the pollution incident. I don't think he was criticising the EA at all,in fact if you look at the water quality of the river...

Looks like the water quality of our rivers is improving. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14710478 Or is it a cynical PR exercise by the EA to justify their existence :rolleyes:
