Hi All I've used small / medium bait droppers before on small rivers, using my barbel rods (1.75/2.25 lbs) with mono mainline, however I am planning to fish some larger Weir pools / rivers next season. My question is if I use a medium spopper can I use my barbel rods with mono line or do I need...

Hi Rob Thanks for the feedback, but I probably get the Diawa, as it looks a quality product, and I've had a Diawa infinity brolly (fiberglass arms) which was fabulous and lasted years! The new Diawa has a steel frame and pole, so I am thinking to replace the steel pole with an alloy one and...

Hi been searching for a replacement river mesh for ages, how big is the mesh? How deep is the 36 inch mesh, go on Steve, buy one so I can have a look at it! Currently using a korum 36 inch, mesh size good, but only about 24 inches deep, so not deep enough to rest fish in.

Hi all I've tried lots of different boilies, allows prefer fresh home made/frozen commercial boilies over shelf life. I think the best way to fish is to stick with one bait for a number of season, you can always tweak you hookbaits/ freebies with dips & glugs. From my experience:- Nutrabaits...
