    I have 2 absolutely mint Shimano 4000D's that are just too small for my needs really, hence lack of use! Now for sale - £200 the pair, plus post. Pics available on request.

    Korum opportunist mat bag, seems a good piece of kit?

    I quite like the idea, and i'm glad to see a company thinking of something slightly different for a change, rather than just rehashing the same old stuff brand after brand. The removable 'mat' within the cradle itself should be relatively easy to wash off in the lake/river if it's really gunked...

    Good info, cheers Sam.

    Prolonged heat

    Unless of course, the water temp is such that it is at maximum DO level already.

    Drennan Twistlock

    Yeah, i don't see them as faulty either. Mine has been fine for abput 4 years of tackling the lower tidal Trent, getting stuck in to mud when i have caught etc.

    Drennan Twistlock

    Can anyone point me in the direction of the thread with the info on the best way to strip, clean and reassemble the Drennan Twistlock lanfing net handle please? Assuming mine is gunked up as it wont lock now... Struggling to find the lengthy thread with the info!

    Flavoured meat

    I think i have probably worded that badly, but what i am trying to say is that increased smell to our nose, does not necessarily mean the same for fish. Their sensory organs work very differently to ours of course.

    Flavoured meat

    Always fascinated me the whole 'smell' thing. Absolute myth in my eyes. Fish can't smell, so adding and changing baits based on how they smell or appeal to us, is a pointless exercise in my opinion. Attractors based on the science behind it, absolutely. Frying baits to add flavouring, seems...

    Seems the rivers aren't the only things getting heated!

    Roving single rod sleeve anyone??

    If you need a shoulder strap to add to the sleeve, take a look at the Thinking Anglers Multi Strap.

    Perch Rods

    Suppose it depends on the venues you're fishing. I use a Drennan Series 7 1.25 avon top for trotting liveys on the tidal Trent, and they handle the flow, bigger baits and rogue pike and zeds well too. Wouldn't be my first choice for smaller rivers or stillwaters though.

    Collingham official statement

    Can't help but feel they've milked it for every penny they can before doing 'the right thing'. They could well have nipped this in the bud 15 years ago with solid investments in bailiffing, and even looked into snag renoval etc for the fishes welfare, but no.

    Korum Pentalite shelter

    I've also done a few over nighters under mine, and can squeeze a bedchair under with no dramas.

    Korum Pentalite shelter

    I like mine. I wanted something as light as possible for the longer treks, and with reasonable coverage, and this ticked both boxes. It doesn't feel the most sturdy of things, but that's the price you pay for it being so light. That said, it has held up to some fairly serious winds, and hasn't...
