    Bait droppers

    I think spomb or whoever owns them now didn't take kindly to someone modifying there product then selling it on.

    Maggot feeder

    interesting Sam, I have a couple of drennan distance feeders and cant stand using them on running water. I bought them for stillwaters but when I tried them on the Thames in the winter I found the last third a bit to soft. I have some of the heavy cadence #3 feeders in both 13-14ft and found...

    Double camo leads

    does anyone really think these will be less likely to spook a fish and catch them more...if anything more a recipe for a snap up and a tangle? I've been doing some long sessions at linear fisheries this year after big bream and tench in gin clear water where carp anglers make every effort to...

    New Venue

    Oxfordshire Thame?... If it's anything like another local Thames tributary it probably got past its worst a few years ago and is starting to recover, it would be good to know if there were any barbel stocked at the same time as they did the Cherwell as they could be a decent size now. I would...

    Angling trust

    Each to there own whether they join or not and sometimes I wonder why I do every year. But funding like this aimed at very concerning issues requires our backing by all anglers by becoming members...

    River Lugg. Grayling?

    I fished it a fair bit for a few years and I found it a better chub river than grayling and what grayling I ever found were never that big, caught more trout and parr than grayling...last time was a couple of years ago

    Merv Wilkinson

    Alex, old f****cker always tapping you up for info on the Cherwell for exchange of premium casters! Typical of that generation of specu anglers.

    Float Rod Problem

    Pretty much think the same Chris, when I clean my line though I feel it helps if I'm adding to keeping it frictionless through the rings and also helping it pick up off the water on the strike. I watched Clive Branson fishing the Wye in Hereford on the bolo and he said mucilin defintly helps...

    Stupid weights

    when you have a good look at the pictures of the 16 and 11 you can see the difference in what the girth would be. The measurement off the 16 I would think would be much greater

    Stupid weights

    I'm on a 9.15 tench and a 7.15 chub and a 14.12 bream.....wish my barbel pb was a good a percentage of the record

    Float Rod Problem

    if you want your line to float better yes, I use mucilin silicon on my line, very cheap and as you apply it you clean your line as well. I did try the spray on floatants but found mucilin much better

    Stupid weights

    I know the feeling Terry...a few years back I made the effort to do some good self takes, nowadays I cant be that bothered. Daniels pic of the 11lber could pass for a bigger fish but yours the opposite...just shows how the picture distorts the size of fish.
