Adams mill is very narrow in places, especially the backwater….a good running jump and you’d clear it! To think it was once home to multiple giant barbel that would eclipse many of the Trent biggies is astonishing

Yes mate…I will get posted Tue/Wed next wk👍

It was that film and the Adams mill/kickles one that got me subscribing, brought back lots of fond memories whilst I can’t get out myself recovering from a hernia op ….have been impressed with the quality of the content so far, for the cost of a beer or two it’s worth it IMO

Bump and price drop

Have a search for shimano GTM 4010, they are very capable reels, they do t have the cranking power for large feeders on the Trent but smaller rivers they are perfect. I have a couple of these and the fighting drag is superb - good condition models do still come up on eBay…if it wasn’t for...

Excellent as new condition, great read £22.50 posted

I’m hoping for a new season 2025 release….no info to suggest that just my hopes🤞

My local tackle shop said they was informed by the drennan rep that a 17ft accy specimen is in the pipeline….no idea on timescale but will be an interesting addition to the range

daiwa TDX would be my choice too Mike followed by Daiwa matchwinner or Shimano Stradic GTM (the original Japanese models are best) If you prefer something a bit more retro have a look at a Shimano super match HS, superb trotting reels

And defies the laws of gravity…

Tight lines - keep us updated if you get one

I use the ESP stalker pouch, have also bought a Drennan EVA one for mashed bread but not used i do rate the ESP one and if it gets too grubby/mouldy it can go in the wash https://www.tackleuk.co.uk/shop/Carp-Fishing-Bait-Bags/ESP-Camo-Stalker-Bait-Pouch.htm

Incredible photos…you have a talent for sure Dave

Thanks Graham, pm sent

Thanks Graham 👍

Does anyone have any original shimano 4000 GTM spools they wish to sell? Either shallow or deep versions I’m after a couple of these, thanks all

Thanks, yeah the tip is a bit short…but longer than the Korum glide ones which are way too short. Shame but I’ll no doubt get a couple and try when next on the Severn I’ll have to get my name down for some of @Richard Isaacs I think

Is that one of the new drennan titanium trotters (top pic)? If so how’d you rate them? They look pretty good but not seen any in the ‘flesh’

Cracking fish and a welcome interloper I say! IMO Chub are more rig shy than Barbel so shows you got working traps so there’s merit in that
