Anyone living in the Wolverhampton area should take a look at Fatties Tackle in Griffiths Drive Ashmore Park Wednesfield,loads of quality tackle and bait for the specialist angler and friendly staff,well worth a look.

Try clear silicone,it offers some protection and doesn't damage the glass bodies.Make the recess a little larger than the isotope,put in the silicone and then carefully push in the isotope so that it's just below the reel seat and then smooth the silicone leaving a little of the glass exposed or...

Nice one Jim,well deserved.

Why spend a lot of money on rods and reels and then skimp on the most important bit ? 50p is hardly expensive !!!

Been using their Specialist Advanced 2.25 T.C for the past 6 years,lovely through action,great rods IMO,came with just the Avon tops(no quiver)if the new model is as good they'll be a bargain :)

I use the small ones on Korda size 10 wide gape X which have quite a large eye so should be o.k on your larger sized hooks.used them for a few years now,great piece of kit.

Fished the Dove last night,water temp was 10 degrees,managed a chub and a nice barbel @ 10lbs

Totally agree,I dropped one of my 5000 XTEA,s on the kitchen floor and damaged the motion shaft,sent it off Monday morning and got it back the following Thursday as good as new at a very reasonable cost,great service :)

Quite right Tom,fish of a lifetime anyone would be love to catch.

Looks like the same fish that came out in August at 15-12 to one of the "beasthunters"

Korda wide gape X for me,been using them for a few years now,no problems.

Coated braid hook length with tungsten putty mouse dropping size with a Gardner flying back lead does the trick for me.

I used the seamless ones when they first came out,after a couple of lost fish due to straightening out binned em.

Same here Ray,free running lead,2-3ft coated braid(sufix camfusion) hook link with the last inch or so stripped back with a Korum aligner over the shank of a korda wide gape x size 10,works a treat

Washing up liquid and sponge/scourer works a treat

I'm with Dean,I know Steve,great bloke,brilliant all round angler and a great ambassador for our sport.

Just about sums it up Darryl :)

From the Ribble down to the Wye and most of the decent(barbel)rivers in between plus specimen carp,tench and bream in the still waters,great value fishing,well worth the wait,enjoy.

If it's of any interest to anyone the water temp on the Dove was 8 degrees on Thursday,shouldn't drop too much over the next few days.:)

Getting a bit warmer middle of the week should be worth a shot then.:)
