Looks a good net that,just the job and not too pricey either, i don't like spoon nets personally and i've yet to find a real need to own one !

300 gm semolina 200 gm whole egg powder 500 gm of just about anything you fancy Add eggs and mix That should do it !

Dinsmores every time, don't give a monkeys if the paint falls off or not, Barbel don't care. Plenty of trendy proper Aluminium bank sticks with nice anodised finishes but in the main too short (Carpers like having their rods down in the mud).

There you go, conflicting opinion ! :)

Nice fish Stuart, well done and very nice photo's.

Matt, strongest knot for forming a loop in braid, Bimini twist ? I'll let you write the description :)

When i tested various knots a few years back i found that the Double overhand loop was actually stronger than the figure of eight, in heavy mono the later forms a neater straighter loop but for all else i use a bog standard double overhand and have never had one let me down. This is with Braid...

Steve, the mud on Castle Howard would have rendered kicking anything along the bank impossible mate ! Do i wish i was still up North ? There's a lot i miss to be honest, but then again we are very happy where we are nowadays. My memory is rubbish Steve, do i know you ? Mike, we live on top of...

:D Thats perfect camou for where i'm fishing Dave ! double up as a great decoy as well !

Exercise ball ? nice and comfy if you get the balance right and you can pretend yer Billy Bremner and kick it from one swim to another instead of carrying it :)

If thats the same as the old C series then i have one of those Mick, you can borrow it for a try out if you like, plenty enough grunt for any chub that swims !

OOh they were very nice rods, remember Andy Harman and a few other 'Big hitters' swearing by them ! Nowadays, Tri-cast make some fantastic feeder/quiver rods, costly but very nice.

Great story, well done Mark.

1.75 tc Luke, same blank as the Chimera 2 as far as i know, had a pair built for me by Yateley angling when they first came out.

Buy them and cut a bit off the handles Stephen ! thats what i did with my Chimeras.

Its not just as simple as it seems though is it ? The way a rod balances and feels with a reel on surely is an important factor ? i've had 12 ft rods with short handles that have simply felt dreadful to use ! So maybe tip to reel stem is a relevant issue too, and that will be different from one...

I think thats probably clear enough Craig !
