I had my fishing tackle, 6K worth, insured for £60 a year. However the Co-Op stopped the policy. When I looked into company insurance quotes they were excessive. £300 a year for a couple of grands worth of tackle. I will make a claim through my house insurance.

As previously mentioned if their was pnly rod I could use for Barbel fishing it would be the Chimera No3. You can fish up to an 8 ounce lead. Great rods.

Two other rods that have the backbone and length ( 15ft ) you might want to think about buying are the Carbonactive No3 and the Normark 15/20 Crusader. The latter rod is great at 15ft. I have both rods and the are excellent.

Nash Fang in size 10, Nash Claw in sizes 10, 8 and 6. For maggots and other small baits Gardner 12 and 14s

Not sure where the blanks originate from, other than they were Normark prototypes

It depends how much money you want to spend and if you are willing to put off buying a rod for a bit. A friend of my has recently tested new Normark prototype rods -13 and 14ft models. He reports that the 14 ft rods are very good.

I use combi rigs, flouro/braid, for the majority of my fishing. However in snaggy pegs I use coated braid. Hook lengths, in the past I used 4-5 ft lengths, but know I use 2 ft.

I bought and started using Mark Tunleys 13. 5 ft (Harrison blank) float rod and it is brilliant. It has a one pound test curve , an excellent action and absorbes lunches from Barbel with ease. I use 10lb line as I fish a couple of snaggy pegs and it can be a hit and hold situation. So far...

I agree with you Kevin. I and n my pal have both both float fished below Taddy bridge and it has been very poor

Why not try flavouring hemp, Anglers are aways tinkering with bait flavourings in order to catch more fish. Its like saying don't flavour pellets, boilies, cheese, bread, maggots etc because it makes no difference, when it does IMO. My catch rate wen up least year and I put it down to one...

Like others just before first light, especially on the Wye, Its a beautiful river system

C Food 12ml boilies worked well for me last season

Hi Andrew Any news regarding the 10 X11 gram floats I ordered, Thanks Neil

The Wharfe. Only problem might be, when fishing Tares, is getting through the Dace and small Chub.

Cheers. Will give them a try

Any joy catching barbel on Tares?

Why not buy some Tares and mix with the hemp

Hinders sell Chinese hemp. They are large particles, buts its expensive

Good question I don't know. So do a test and find out. I regularly, freeze, and defrost hemp to fish with and refreeze the unused bait. It might be defrosted for half a day, but that's OK. It's never gone off. I am a perpetual cycle of using the oldest hemp before using newly prepared...

Hi I would recommend Hydro tuff line. It's better than the Gardner HD as this prestretched. Very abrasive, reliable line
