    Tench rods.

    Never used a Torrix so can’t comment, I think plenty of others on here use them though

    Tench rods.

    Yes own/use both. I tend to prefer to float fish for tench but often also put a helirig feeder out on my peregrine GTI at same time. But if longer range and method feeders needed I use my C3s….that’s what I’ll be doing in a couple of weeks using some Tina berrie boilies on order, the pit is a...

    Tench rods.

    Perfect medium range rods for tench, stepping up to c3 for longer range/weedy waters/heavy feeders

    Korum omega rods

    Folding quivers, Supalite chair (original), ruckbag (original) glide mono, bait and tackle bags and bolt/run rigs are IMO and use quality and practical tackle…and I’ll add the recent rover bag into the mix too

    Korum omega rods

    I think there is also a bit of snobbery about some of the Korum gear, yes they do have some real clangers in their range but also some quality gear. Rod wise I don’t know anything about the Omega range but their X Calibre range were very impressive, fast action rods that were capable of accurate...

    Boilies for Tench

    I tend to mainly float fish for Tench but one of the pits I fish the larger fish tend to come from about 50 yds to some bars (mainly to carpers) so I want to try the boilie and feeder approach this season. I’ve had some success in the past using tutti fruiti or CCMoore live system but was just...

    Fishflix Fishing Tv

    I actually thought he comes across completely opposite to this, on the Fishflix vids at least….just basic no nonsense watercraft and bait placement with basic rigs. The video about quivertipping on rivers an example of this, favouring old tackle from the 90s to modern gear. I generally can’t...

    Are we losing our Sixth Sense?

    I think there is something in our ability to ‘feel’ a sixth sense/intuition/gut feeling whatever you want to call it. As a species Homo sapiens have survived over 300,000 yrs by basically being good at 3 things: finding food, keeping out of danger and reproducing. I think ancient humans did rely...

    What are you favourites hooks?

    Welcome to the forum John. I’m another fan of Gardner target hooks but tend to use size 8 or 10 so can’t comment on the sizes you’re asking about. I’ve used talon tips in larger sizes for carp/cats and they’re sharp and strong.
