    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    As above....would anyone be interested in seeing a centrepin reel angling channel? I can't find a channel on youtube where the angler just uses a centrepin reel. I have come across channels where the angler uses a pin once or twice, but none were they solely use a pin. So, i'm toying with the...

    Custom built ultralight quivertip rod, any ideas?

    I have a brand new 10ft browning sphere 10% plus rod which is the more powerful of the two, hence the 10%.. It's very light with an assortment of light tips, perfect for a small river....i've never used it though. I have a shimano technium 11ft 3 inch specialist quiver, it has a selection of...

    Drought!

    I absolutely understand your concern Neil, for sure the possabilites are alarming. As I said about trying not to worry about the low water conditions because it's out of our hands, the same applies with this possible scenario. In reality, I think otters are far more likely to target the smaller...

    Drought!

    To be honest, I imagine these connditions will be ideal for spawning fish, and when the eggs hatch there should be plenty of food for them. Lets hope when the rain does start to fall it isn't the kind to cause floods and wash the fry away before they get strong enough to cope with it. I know...

    Drought!

    The predators are only going to eat the same amount of fish anyhow, so I don't think they will do anything different than if the rivers were normal height. I imagine all the canoists etc will be a much bigger problem, scrambling over spawning sites etc etc. Regarding dissolved oxygen levels etc...

    New Normark Rods

    Yes, I know its an extra keeper ring HZ, but the placement being right down the handle like that looks like it may be a problem/ nuisance "for myself". The reason I say that is because I'm constantly moving a rod from one hand to the other whilst trotting, and so the butt may scrape across my...

    New Normark Rods

    I'm confused about the hook keeper way down near the bottom of the handle?.... surely that will keep catching on your clothing etc during use? That looks like a propper cock up!

    Wading trousers

    I only have the one pair of greys wader boods atm, I got my normal size in them and they fit perfectly even if I wear a thick pair of socks. I am looking to buy another set of boots to go with the new wychwoods I got. I have been taking a close look at the simms tributary boots, some people say...

    Wading trousers

    I was trying to find a decent set of waist waders for years, I couldn't find a set worth a carrot! For the majority of my wading I wear aigle rubber thight waders which are excellent. I fold em over when walking between swims but when its cold in winter I might leave them up. I've had a set of...

    New Normark Rods

    For sure, wally casting does test the guides, although, if they arn't up to it then they arn't fit for purpose. I am interested in how your preston rods guides hold up to the casting, playing numbers of decent fish and of course those clonkers you get!

    Line Longevity

    I tried using various braids numerous times many years ago, power pro was my preferred braid. I dislike braid for trotting a float, it has to many downsides....horrific noise when going back and forth through the guides, not as tough as mono when grated on rocks whilst under pressure, seems to...
