Thanks Bill. I know I can go south and fish linear on ticket for a good chance but joining the club does have a certain appeal, strongly considering it. I'll make a definite decision come spring, I do have a campaign planned on my syndi' now that all other activities have been aborted, mainly...

Is there a northern region Bill, I've just been having a browse on the website but couldn't make out where the regions are? I need a kick up the arse with my fishing and I'm determined to get a double figure tinca this year. My syndi' which I re-joined last year (but failed to fish) could...

I hope all goes well for you👍

A trait I'm aware of that can be countered by a small amount of lead and araldite in the end of the butt. I did a dry run with mine and a small amount it wasn't. I forgot to mention the over engineering includes a really short handle (to enable passing the rod across the body between hands, god...

Thanks Richard, I've been on the look out for a decent stick rod. My current Greys Dave Wesson spliced tip from the same era is very top heavy, too many rings (to keep the line off a wet blank) and over engineered, a break in the tip section repaired with a spigot compounded the matter so I used...

Would you (or anyone else) happen to know how the Shimano compares to the Drennan stick float rod from the 90's? And where are you based? you mentioned distance but unless I'm missing the obvious, I can't a reference. Ta!

My son would have snapped them up but xmas is coming and he has kids to cater for. I rang him and he was in two minds. I've been considering some myself but my trusty old SX digitals are still doing the biz ok. Enjoy them!

Give Dave a call and tell him your needs, venues etc and he'll advise on the best tools for the job, his number is on his website.

Hope all goes well for you. I'll only buy local on FBMP and collect, too many horror stories to risk postage for me!

Also great rods, I have a couple and a couple of P1's. If you're buying two I'd get one of each to cover different situations/distances etc. The X1 falls somewhere between the P1 and the BB but I've never handled one. Treat yourself they're worth the wait.

Do you have any Chris Yates, I already have a few but I'd be interested in more.

Better than what? discussing a subject that relates to angling and the integrity of it? Us forum members have done no wrong by discussing and offering opinions on the matter, which ever side of the fence you sit, some may think he's at fault (I personally reserve judgement until I know the full...

Even if AD did have a 95% off deal, every thing on offer would be out of stock:rolleyes:

As much as a sceptic as I am, I still enjoy reading this stuff👍 Just got a copy for kindle, £1.99 :)

Same as. I've been spooked out of my skin on a few occasions, especially on a pitch dark night, do ghosts prefer dark nights?? but I go back, the rational me knows it was a badger, deer, rabbit, demon! None of which can hurt me👹

I had a size 8 barb deep in my finger last season, I gripped the forceps on it and got my daughters bf to pull it out (after I looked away). It wouldn't budge, turned out he was trying to be gentle so not to hurt me, I explained the stuck on band aid situation, another more positive attempt saw...

It's akin but maybe worse if true, to a John Wilson programme back in the late 80's-early 90's where (allegedly) he had a local club stretch closed for a while whilst it was pre-baited for days/weeks?? and he turned up to record a video/program and emptied it of chub. I reckon it must go on all...

I also think they're a thick gauge wire, gone back to the few I have left of pallatrax "the hook" and grippaz.

Saint Agur is too good for fish, if you put my SA in the river you'd be following it😄😉

You started it😁
