That’ll do for me then. I thought they’d be ok. He’ll probably upgrade after a few seasons anyway once he gets to grips with it all but didnt want to start him off with something he’d struggle with

I’ve always taken my son fishing and consider it a job well done as he is now mad keen and will be an angler for life. He chose to go down the Pike & Catfish route although now fancies a go on the rivers for Barbel. I’m going to set him up for the new season (birthday pressie) so want to get...

Pallatrax Gripz (wide gape) for me. I was a bit sceptical before trying them but they’ve been brilliant. Super sharp & never lost a fish yet even when giving slack line when weeded. Use them everywhere now and not just ‘barbless only’ venues

I had the Darent Valley float and hated it. Tip felt stiffish but the middle section had no backbone. Felt like the old tank ariel

Nice, albeit cold, morning on the Severn 🤞

I’ve tried loads but the Gardner Target ones are my favourites at the moment for grouping micro pellets at a reasonable distance. The problem with maggots is the lack of weight and shape so think you’ll struggle with any. Have you tried the sticky maggot powder for making them into balls?

I followed your advice Richard and while stripped (4000OC) i applied a VERY thin amount of grease to each part before re-assembly and have found it to have made a noticeable improvement! Before, the line needed a bit of a ‘tug’ to start it moving and then i found i was tightening the clutch as...

Awesome! How lucky is that! Save me a lot of bother.

Is it a guy on Ebay? Foil4u? Sorry, i’m at work and didnt give it much thought initially. my other was done by him and i’d want them both the same. From what you’ve said it sounds like it is!?

Yes please! Sounds perfect. I have found them online for £100 (new) but intended to get it converted to QD so would have had to pay another £20. If you message me your details, i’ll send the money tomorrow if thats ok Just one thought, has the conversion used the original cap?

Thanks, wasnt sure if it speeded up the drag or just made it super smooth. I’ll keep them in the original state in that case as more than happy with them 👍

I have a few Shimano OC 4000 reels and am going to give them a strip & clean after a rather muddy winter on the Severn. While i’m at it, would it be worth ‘upgrading’ the clutch washers? Dont want a ‘fast’ drag and dont mind the large amount of range the clutch already has. It also works fine...

Anyone got one sitting around doing nothing? They aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and know lots of people have bought them and not been impressed. I bought one off here and although initially though it was a bit agricultural (rough) the more i use it, the more i love it! Must be in vg condition!

For Sale is a Preston Inception Feeder Chair in Excellent condition with replacement extendable legs fitted with Aluminium collets on the thumbscrews to replace the plastic ones renowned for splitting when overtightened. Also on Ebay, £80 collected from Crewe

SOLD

Only if you sort out collection sorry.

still available if interested

No still got them. Was going to put them on Ebay but not got round to it yet. Sorry for the late reply as been in hospital to have my appendix out

I’m not personally bothered and find it hard enough as it is to take a selfie holding a fish without trying to hold a fake smile. Setting the timer running back, picking it up while hoping its not going to jump…all adds to the stress & the serious look i guess! What does bother me is the trend...

Sorry, thought you were asking me about the stool….ooops
