Not fishing - but to clarify this discussion Having decided to listen to Athletico Mince I have found that it is indeed Bob Mortimer but the other half of this podcast is Andy Dawson (not Andy Parsons !).

Whitehouse and Mortimer certainly divide opinions. I like the humanity, humour and simple pleasure of it but there's not much detail for the ardent fishing enthusiast - they do get to fish some amazing venues though and I'm really glad there are no rig diagrams or boilie recipes. In defence...

Jason Correct - Barbel Seeker! Neil

Mike Thanks for your reply. Interparcel produced reasonable quotes. Cheers Neil

Derek Used the parcelcompare.com and got decent quotes Thanks Neil

Hi Derek Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately neither UPS nor TNT would accept a parcel longer than 140cm when I tried to get a price today. Neil

Just tried to book postage for a rod via UPS Today who I have been using for some years but it seems they have reduced their maximum parcel length and will not accept a 6ft long tube anymore. Any advice on other couriers? Neil

Free Spirit Barbel Seeker 12ft 1.75lb test curve. Used rod in outstanding condition. £150 collected from Wakefield or delivery via a courier at cost (around £20 to £25). I have a number of long distance journeys coming up in next few weeks so may even be able to deliver it myself. Neil

You have a PM Neil

I think that it is not necessarily a fancy rig that makes the difference but maybe a completely different bait or different presentation that can have the most impact. I will give an example of a water with a large head of barbel, heavily fished but not renown for being a difficult water...

Nice to meet you too Richard. Very happy with the rods - you certainly look after your gear, they were all in pristine condition.

I have ordered one of the torches that Gerry has recommended using the eBay link. I have been using Energizer head torches, which are cheap as chips, for many years. They do have a red light option but you have to click through 4 white light options first (shame they didn't put red first). I...

Great rod at a bargain price. I have the 11ft version and really like it. I have only ever seen the Stepped Up 1.75lb TC version - is there a lighter version? Neil

After a few fruitless trips to Old Bury Hill I decided to commit and buy a permit which allows fishing after dark. Conditions were perfect yesterday and after dark I caught 4 zander to approx 5lb and a sprat loving bream of about 4lb. 2 of the zander came on a light running ledger and 2 on a...

You have a message. Neil
