hi Alan, you have a p.m. Mike

Welcome Alan. Where are you based ? We are very lucky in Yorkshire to have so many rivers local all offering reasonable barbel sport.

well done Kevin, you deserve that .

You must be nuts Kev. I've just walked the dog, and it's bloody horrible !!!!!!! I'll wait till the river is up, but the wind and rain have gone, then I'll venture out 👍.

Korum glide float line is very good. Supple and floats really well. For lead or feeder work, I always use diawa sensor.

Great looking rods Julian.

I still enjoy using a swingtip on a couple of local stillwaters during the close season for bream and roach. Coupled with a light 11' avon rod and 3000 size reel, just feels a lovely way to fish on a still warm morning. I purchased some new swingtips from eBay a couple of years ago. I've also...

Rob, have a look at the recent post, " slipping chair legs" dated 27th Sept.

Still getting down to that stretch David ? Where do you stay now. Mike

I have a JRC specialist x-lite, but like you needed a bit of extra height. So I purchased some alloy tube to replace the original and give me an extra 50mm. I'm sure you can do this with a few different makes, but you need to examine them first. Some, like the korum, have tubing which cannot be...

heart healthy I see.

Absolute steal. If I hadn't got 4 x OC's I'd have snapped your hand off.

Just a heads up. The Tackle Box have a clearance sale on at present, and Bank Tackle are offering 15% off terminal tackle items.

Alec, I get a piece of string with a few spots of thin oil on it. Pass it under the bail arm roller and pull it backwards and forwards . This should clean it and lubricate it, then you should be able to see it turn freely.

Still not sure if I am reading this correctly. Are we saying that it is an interesting discussion, but never likely to have anything to do with playing a fish, because we do not play a fish with the rod locked up !

I use the same thing from Bank Tackle. Just pull the knot in the bag into the narrow end and job done. If I'm using a hair rig, then I also nick the hook into the lower end of the bag.

Stephen, did you buy direct from Drennan or through a tackle shop. If the latter your complaint should be directed to the shop. They sold you a product which is faulty. They should replace or refund and then they have the bother of getting redress from Drennan.

Fantastic Rich. Are you using your home made boilies as bait or something else. Also do you loose feed anything or is the rivers pace to fast to do this effectively. Thanks Mike

I've got two f.s. Tamers which were purchased second hand a few years apart. The blank looks really different, though the ringing is the same. The newer rod appears to be more tippy in its action, but that might be age and use related. I prefer the less blingy look of the older rod, so tend to...

Hi Guys, a new offer from Bank Tackle, use code " hook15" to get 15% of hooks.
