    Decent roving umbrella recommendations please?

    NuFish do a 45” eco brolly for less than £30. Not seen one but they say its very light and if its anything like the rest of their products it will be well made. Might be worth emailing them for a weight. They do answer emails and are very helpful. Had a few thing off them over the years and all...

    I’ve looked & cant see them anywhere? Might have been discontinued already 🙄

    Decent roving umbrella recommendations please?

    As much as i dont like Korum, the ‘river brolly’ has been great! Really light, short back for sloping banks and so far (after 2 years) hasn’t leaked. There is a market for a smaller, perhaps 39” brolly in my mind but this fits the bill for now.

    Fox ruck chair

    Cant think of anything really ‘revolutionary’ that has come out in recent years? It’s all re-hashing or over complicating old, standard designs or bringing things out for the sake of trying to invent something they think we need! Some of the ridiculous items brought out for the bivvy...

    Fox ruck chair

    Looks like something Korum would bring out but probably made better. Looks like it would be a pig to carry & yes i think you would 🤣 ‘Fox bivvy commode’

    Some questions for Drennan landing net users please

    I originally bought the 26” but use that for Tench now as i found it a bit small, even for modest Barbel. The 32” is perfect and is slightly smaller than other 32” nets as the arms bend inwards slightly under tension. The depth is fine also, not too deep to get caught on everything but certainly...

    OMC Revibed Imitation Worms

    I used the original Berkley version for quick trips squeezed in on the local canals. Thought they’d be great to keep in the car so i’d always have something to fish with for perch. Very realistic & have a scent but never really did very well on them so stopped using them (must admit i didn’t do...

    Best pellets

    I always find this interesting ‘i have found them to outfish Halibut 2-1’ By that evidence, they must be twice as good however, i tried them for a season & didn’t really do very well. Did slightly better on the Hinders elipse but noticeably better on Dynamite Halibut. Everyone has a favourite...

    Best pellets

    Tried all sorts of fancy things over the years but Dynamite Marine Halibut seem as good as anything to me and are ready available at a good (ish) price. I’ve been using them as feed though (6&8mm) with a 12mm halibut boilie on the hair

    Korum Glide Landing Net - Question

    Think it’ll be in the end of the handle to attach a lanyard to stop it floating away if dropped?

    New Age Of Barbel Fishing

    Anywhere where there are big fish, weather it be Barbel, Carp, Bream, Tench etc will attract a lot of people too. Again, most are at least in their mid 40’s from what i can see. I think it will go the other way and in 20 years or so hardly anyone will be fishing the rivers. We had a similar...

    New Age Of Barbel Fishing

    Not sure if we will get to that stage tbh? There is a lot of ‘hard work’ (in the form of less decent access, planning due to levels & just the fact the water is constantly moving & changing etc, etc) which is one reason i think Carp fishing has become so popular…..it’s easy. Not slating anyone...
