Agree on merrells, good quality and last well if regularly cleaned and treated with nikwax spray after a good soaking…just get a size larger than normal

How about trying something like drennan double strength in 10/12Ib, it’s pre-stretched and should transmit knocks and plucks etc…it does when touch ledgering for chub, you just need to be light handed with playing them. Only problem I see is the potential for twist if using a rolling pin??

For those who favour 12/13ft rods shimano are releasing their new specialist TX floats rods- 12 ft is 2 piece and 13ft 3 piece. I had a waggle with the 13ft the other day the rep had brought to my local shop, feels very balanced with a fast tip and loads of stopping power lower down. Only had a...

Yes correct….unfortunately the OCD tackle tart in me would never allow different sizes to be used at same time 🤦‍♂️

Hoping they will restock soon I’m after another 8000

If you want to keep it simple from a starting point go for JB Search4 flavour on the Taste F2 base…it’s a proven recipe, easy to make and will keep the cost down a bit

There only showing 6000/12000 in stock at moment

If it was me I wouldn’t use it for barbel on a low stock water as too much doubt on effectiveness - on a high stock water go and try it you’ll soon find out. However, I would still make some bait up and use for chub…they’ll eat anything! My cheesepaste is 4 yrs old now and in/out of the freezer...

Nice! Couple of tips…keep it out of direct sunlight and check for/remove dead ones a couple of times a week, if left in they can soon spoil the whole wormer; and they particularly love eating cucumber!

I tried the GR60x and found it very wiry which was surprising as a big fan of the original gr60. Also tried the ESP and was okay but a little wiry…personally I think there is far better line available - Fox Exocet to name just one

Sent you a pm Andy

I lost out to a mint 4000 ci4 by 67p couple of wks back….still hurts!

You probably outbid me on a recent Twin power ci4 4000 😂

They do come up occasionally in mint condition…if the reel stem is not scuffed, and still pearly white/ not yellowed, it still has the original shimano sticker on the top of the stem and the transfers are not worn then likely a goodun! Im a fan of the Stradic brand, rods and reels, and have a...

They already do an 11ft 1.5Ib specialist rod

Lovely fish, well done

Great reels - Nice one here Martin https://ebay.us/m/eXAkBJ

Good work fella👍 it’s been a struggle to even tempt a decent chub for me on the Ouse, then as soon as we have some decent rain I can’t go🤦‍♂️

looks like they’ve suffered a bit in use…be interesting to see what they fetch

Does anyone take river temps, something I used to but not for a few years, and no longer have a thermometer. So does anyone recommend a particular thermometer?
