    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    The video is pretty good imo. I know editing is a pain, but you are doing good, especially the first try. When retrieving the line, I lift the rod as much as I could, and spin the reel as hard as I can, and move the rod towards the float. It’s a classic method I think?

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    1 hour video that’s nice. But after watching the first 10mins, I decided to try how you retrieve the line, and I think it doesn’t work for me😂. Will finish the rest before I sleep

    Wanted - Harrison Avon with spliced in quiver

    How about a decent feeder rod with glass tip? Works better for chub imo.

    River Nene Decimation

    Well, ironically, they call Thames back to life when the seal population is increasing in recent years. But soon people will find it dead again. I suppose RSPB is using the same argument to release the seal in nene.

    Gardner landing net pole/folding pan net

    I found the best way to carry folding pan is to wrap it inside the unhooking mat

    Arguments Please

    It’s not the barbel seeker mate, it’s the spirit range barbel specialist, https://tacklebox.co.uk/rods-en/specialist/specialist-rods/free-spirit-spirit-specialist-barbel-rod-12ft-1-75lb-25mm/, but the blank is same as the carp seeker I think? It is different from the s range barbel seeker (this...

    A follow up on the Absolutely Gutted (Hate or Love)

    Two different rods, seeker is a traditional through action rod, but the butt has enough power when you need it. Torrix is more tippy, it has a softer tip and the power comes from the lower 3 quarter if that make sense. When playing fish, I prefer seeker, the blank feels more “alive”, it just...

    A follow up on the Absolutely Gutted (Hate or Love)

    Seal having breakfast in Thames at Staines.

    Seal in the Thames, especially in London area is hardly a news I think. There are a few in the Richmond area few years ago, don’t know if they are still there or not. And there are more people care/love them than fish…

    Maybe the club I joined but never really fished. Not sure what’s there now, but some nice roach, chub will do.

    Dead maggots for trotting?

    If I can, I am more than happy to have a fridge for baits, but unfortunately that won’t happening until I find a space for it😂, especially I am in the middle of fighting for the space for my rods.

    Dead maggots for trotting?

    Good advice, thanks guys. I will definitely try to keep them alive as long as possible. I do have a few poly boxes that I use as wormery, and there must be one or two spare ones. I will definitely try the ice bag, and make sure there’s no air in the bag.
