    Landing net woes

    Slight side topic, but anyone looking for quick release adapters as mentioned earlier in the thread - take a look at the large prologic ones (about the only decent bit of kit i've ever used from them). No plastic cam locks to snap or crack, and have been very happy with mine.

    Mitten Crabs in the Yorkshire Ouse

    I have caught a couple of legs, and one whole one from the tidal Trent some years ago. Heard they're good eating...

    Backpack style tackle bags.

    I have a Cotswold Aquarius Roamer, and have had for the last 10 years. Fantastic design, extremely well built and i can also loop my chair through the detachable straps like the Korum to make carrying easier. Not cheap, but confident that i will get another 10 years out of mine.

    Roach

    Personally, I would look at an inline feeder, no gum etc. and a slightly thicker gauge hook. Reduce feeder bounce as much as possible and you should be in business.

    Boilie size

    Undoubtedly sight is the lesser of their senses when it comes to feeding.

    What weight of feeder, and set up of terminal tackle are you using?

    Boilie size

    I often use double 18mm baits with size 4/5 hooks on some of the more tidal areas of the Trent, but do tend to fish predominantly evening or overnight sessions. Many of my better fish have come in low, clear summer cons.

    Barbel & Crayfish

    Wooden balls predrilled and soaked in any number of flavours, and a stiffish hooklink is your best bet.

    Best barbel rod for medium sized rivers between £50-150

    I will probably get another pair if they come up at the right price, at the right time. :) Use mine on the tidal Trent for barbel, zander, pike and everything in between.

    Best barbel rod for medium sized rivers between £50-150

    I wouldn't swap my original twin tip Neoterics for any other rod out there to be honest. Love them to bits. If you can find a pair - buy them!

    Want: Pair of rods...

    PM Bill. Chris, much as I'd love them myself, they may be a bit OTT for the occasional angler that is my old boy.

    Want: Pair of rods...

    I'm in Lincoln area Bill, happy to sort a deal inc courier if needs be, and possibly can collect as the old boy gets all over.

    Want: Pair of rods...

    Looking for a pair of barbel rods for the old man. Ideally 2lb test, but will look at 1.75 > 2.5 Cash waiting for the right pair.

    Bite Alarms ?

    My preference would be to bugger off as far away from stretches like that as possible!

    Bite Alarms ?

    I have fished the tidal Trent for years, and been through all manner of alarms (through preference rather than necessity). I am currently using Nash R3s and have to say, they have been fantastic. The 'false bleep elimination' has proved excellent, and with the amount of weed and detritus...
