If its anything like the 3m Gardener one I've got, it'll weigh a ton.

If you could stretch to 11 ft, you would have the choice of the Acolyte Carp Waggler, which despite it's name, would be a very nice float rod for the work you describe. Just seen they do an 11ft Ultra as well.

I have an old greys barbel rod that I use for sea float fishing, I hammer out a slider that takes an ounce and have never had any problem with the guides and stopknot, and the intermediates are only cheap single legs.

I fish a river occasionally that has plenty, and most times I'll see some. I really like them, very chilled out creatures!

Job to beat the Wye, you could do a couple of days, maybe lower and middle. Plenty of ticket options for both.

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I want to buy British made if possible, I'm on a bit of a "support our country" drive, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice with fishing gear. As far as I can tell, rod wise, that limits me to certain Diawas and Harrison, although someone may know otherwise.

Bass are very partial to a Scad livebait....

Hi Jon, I only fish the Wye at the moment.

I'm looking to get a heavier rod for Barbel to have in my arsenal, I notice I can get a 2lb 12 ft Torrix for about the same as an Infinity Evo 2.25, I already have a 1.75 Infinity which I really like, but I also read a lot about how great the Torrix is. Any thoughts?

Interesting idea, I'd like to see how long it would take the "underfunded agency" to come up with any number of Bailiffs to check!

All of us, anglers or not, can do things which may help. Think about what we put down our drains for starters, one way or another, via treatment works or not, it will end up in a river!

A few years back I was trotting for Grayling and hooked a fish, which on inspection was very distinctive, it had some damage on one side towards the tail. About half an hour later, I caught it again from exactly the same lie. When I returned it for the second time, it decided to rest just...

Interestingly enough, I was looking at some spools in the tackle shop the other day, and it looked a lot lighter and redder than it used to be.

TBH I dont see the point of closed face reels, the only good thing is the smooth pick up. Pin or fixed spool for me.

Any details, Graham?

Fantastic, GT. That's what keeps us all coming back!

I guess as it says, no witnesses means it is very unlikely to go through, in fact I can't see how it could.

I think the "other lot" may refer to the people who made the video in the OP.

Could be just one of those days?

I usually use about 18 inches.
