I wouldn't pay too much mate, that's a lot of monies worth to leave in the mud up The Somme !! Decent walking boots all day, every day as far as I'm concerned !!

Pretty good post Roger. I'm pretty sure that Supplex is meant more as a Match Style line and aimed at float fishing ? Although I could be getting confused with another line. For Barbel fishing mainline, go for something tough and 'Traditional Monos' tend to suit this category better. My personal...

Drop Bob an e-mail.........

I have a Drennan Series 7 Float Reel and for the limited time I've used it, it seems a nice reel. The clutch is pretty irrelevant to me, as I very rarely use one whilst trotting.......

The Roach at Britford are stunning !! As are the Dace !! Great venue and good value day ticket. Saw the biggest Bream I've ever seen in the Old River below the sewage outfall, absolutely huge !!

Bargain alert !!!!

Certainly a VERY big Eel, but not sure it's that big !!! I will say no more as I have no experience of REALLY big Eels !! Steve Terry's fish still looks ENORMOUS !!!

My two-pennarth for what it's worth :- I do understand the sentiment behind not naming stretches, but if you are not willing to share, say nowt.....................If you are, do what I do and send a PM. The Lower Severn is a huge river, you could be fishing the wrong part of the right swim...

Good post Bob, having owned 12 Foot Torrix and now I-Powers, I could instantly tell that the I-Power was a 'Heavier Blank'. BUt then that's what I like..............Feels SO powerful......... Rod choice is very personal and we all like different actions etc.

Just buy a couple of I-Powers from Bob !!! Quality build and could stop a tank with them !!!

A couple of my mates caught what they thought were some huge Rudd from a canal in Ireland, you should've seen the devastation on their faces when I told them that they were Bream/Rudd Hybrids (lovely fish all the same !!)

Fight like billy oh too !!

Golden Rudd !! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a Golden Orfe basically an ornimental Ide ??

I've often wondered if Barbel would take them, tried and never had a touch on them......I am led to believe that big Chub are partial to them !?!? As an aside, do crays take milk protein baits as readily as meaty ones ?? I've never tried them on a river with crays in..........

Exactly Mark !! If I were THAT desparate I would set up a swim or 2 above him and fill it in.......... However, it all reality, I would walk on and fish elsewhere........ If you drop in opposite someone already fishing I'm afraid you should expect the inevitable !! As I've said I wouldn't move...

Adrian, please stop trying to be provocative !!! I am a very reasonable person and if I walked to my favourite swim, only to find someone else there, I may mumble 'balls' or words to that effect under my breath, I may even exchange pleasantries with comments to enquire as to how he was getting...

Good post Howard !! Not only relevant to Paul but all on here !!!!

Silly bickering here lads !!! The truth of the matter is that probably 90% of us would've told him to go forth !!! Ok he has 'the right' but that doesn't make it right......... What I would've said to him would have me moderating myself !!! Would I have moved ? No chance !! He'd have moved 1st I...

I love the stretch, if it looks like a Barbel swim, then it probably is !! If you are a member, why not have a wander with a bit of kit and bait ??
