    Slightly Concerned

    No worries….i posted the rigs about a week ago I think. The old gal in village post office is a bit scatty but still!!!! If nothing arrives next week let me know and I’ll send some more, but like I said before nothing special or innovative just good solid rigs IMO you could copy if you wish to

    Custom built ultralight quivertip rod, any ideas?

    An old Drennan ultralight bomb rod might be worth looking at, it was well respected by match guys for snatching little silvers on the tip

    Fishernator

    That’s a shame, I’ve had nothing but excellent service from them in past. If it was me i would then look at a shimano 5000 series baitrunner (xtea are the best, older aero GTs also good) you’ll pick the Aeros up on eBay for good money but the XTEAs tend to go for big money, but for a reason...

    Custom Angling Solutions

    Nice idea about the quick connecters might do that with my alarm sticks ….for these AI rests I just leave them on the sticks in the quiver Are those the Korum quick connection adapters?

    Landing nets

    It gets mixed reviews on here but I like the drennan 3.5m long reach handle, look after it and it won’t fail. Net wise the Gardner target barbel net takes some beating imo….good build quality and nice deep mesh for resting fish I’m guessing you’ve had to remortgage with all these purchases 🤣

    Same here …good quality gear, I’ve broken too many cheap plastic ones

    Preston reflo 11Ib power line I use for hooklinks on the Severn ….its what I have on the double 8mm pellet rig I sent you. Insight GR60 main line in 12Ib If an extra snaggy swim I use 15Ib main line and hooklinks made from the 12Ib GR60

    Tench 2025

    My tenching has had a very poor start so far ….just seem to catch carp, which is funny as when I go carp fishing I just catch tench. But I’m determined to beat my pb this year which is why I’m going carp fishing next week😂

    X 2 Weston development spools for ss-2600 reels

    I’ll take these please Rob….been thinking of getting some spare spools for the reels I got of Terry a couple of yrs back

    Reel for waggler fishing

    If you like shimano have a look at the Stradic 4000 ci4. Lovely reels Martin …also daiwa TDR are quality reels If you prefer old school shimano then the super aero GTM 4000 with fighting drag (original Japan models and shallow spools) are great reels….if you do fancy one of these give me a PM...

    Lovely fish and superb reels Graham, not used mine since getting my Thunnus but loath to sell them….have you seen the price they’re fetching these days😳

    Greys and Cadence

    Already been said but I also rate the Korum ruckbag and folding quivers….they got it spot on with these. Knowing that they have a habit of ‘upgrading’ their offerings (often with inferior models) I’ve bought one of each to have as spares

    Yeah Adrian Busby is author I believe. He did a Fishflix with Martin bowler recently on the Ouse, comes across well
