    Bobco - In Administration

    One of my local shops decided to close its doors a couple of years ago. It wasn’t because they were broke, but because after 25yrs or so they were sick and tired of anglers’ attitude. I mean I know it’s Yorkshire and all that, but they’d drive half an hour from York to buy worms at BobCo to save...

    Bobco - In Administration

    Gutted, although I had a weird feeling it was heading this way the last couple of times I popped in. Chris Kendall was superb with Zach and I when we started making trips there. It's a huge floor area to keep stocked. 25% off everything in store now. I honestly don't know whether I will go for a...

    Hardy15' float rod on eBay?

    It’s just called TSi 15’ Float. Ask Rich though. It is DEFINITELY a power float rod but so much more besides.

    Hardy15' float rod on eBay?

    I do indeed Alec. It’s a great rod, but not getting much of a look-in as I’m always reaching for my 13’ Acolyte Specimen at the moment.

    Chasing chub....

    My son had requested a trip out after school today, so I bought bait and loaded the car ready for his return. Zachary saw a kingfisher while I was setting up, and we felt like it was going to be a good couple of hours. We were fishing by 4pm in perfect conditions and Zachary had a chub first...

    Hardy15' float rod on eBay?

    It’s all academic to me. I’m happy with my TSi and my Acolyte Specimen (for the time being!)

    Hardy15' float rod on eBay?

    Ah yeah, thanks Roy 🙂 I’ve been watching it out of interest, but it’s out of reach for me just now and I’d probably prefer the heavier (Specimen?) incarnation. Al

    Narrow Drum Speedia

    Stage 3: polishing the spool rim I wanted to smooth out the rim to a nice polished, so today I rigged up an extremely elementary lathe and set to with sanding blocks and Autosol. The spool didn’t zip off like a flying saucer and I’m pretty pleased with the end result. This little reel is...

    Narrow Drum Speedia

    I’d rather keep it “Mum” Bill, as he’s a retired chap who doesn’t do it to make money and I’d hate him to be inundated 👍🏻

    Narrow Drum Speedia

    A little update on my Speedia. The reel foot was a little bit bent, so I made some inquiries about having a brass one fashioned for it. One well known reel maker was too expensive, so I reached out to someone I was aware of through another forum. The upshot was that I posted the reel early this...

    Well good on you, Huanzhou. To me that looks like it would be a sag-fest after a few sessions.

    Calling it "Progress" is deliciously ironic.

    Another "interesting" product from Korum. All the elegance of an Austin Metro 🙄 https://www.korum.co.uk/en/products/chairs-barrows/kp-k0300050
