    Gone Fishing is back

    I'm forced to watch it because my wife enjoys it, I wish we could have a proper fishing programme though! The only thing that could be more irritating would be if Les Dennis were to make a guest appearance, at least he would make Bob look good!

    Selling Rod Online

    I've recently sold a few 12' rods and used UPS to deliver them, cost £35.60 including insurance for each delivery. No problems apart from not knowing when they would be collected, all UPS say is that it will be between 09.00-18.00.

    Drennan Specialist Barbel 12' - SOLD

    This is the original, before Drennan added the Martin Bowler name to it. Very good lightly used condition, complete with the original zipped rod sleeve. Looking for £80 collected, been quoted £30 to ship it!

    Carbotec fly rod

    Interesting that the description says two-piece, BUT the pictures are of a three-piece rod?

    Fishing officially permitted

    For me it won't make any difference, my nearest "local" river happens to be in Wales, travelling to the Severn at Shrewsbury is 25 miles, which I consider to be beyond the intent of the lockdown rules and my local canal towpath is so full of walkers, etc that it's not Covid safe!

    Avon/quiver twin top rods

    I have a pair of the Darent Valley rods, also one of their 0.75TC specialist, all excellent value rods and quite capable of punching "above their weight". I've had tench and barbel to just under 8lbs on the Avons, also 6lb barbel and 9lb pike on the lighter rod without feeling undergunned.

    Muck boots

    This one, just remember to store it in the freezer, yes, I mean freezer...

    Muck boots

    Stormsure is what you need, stuck a loose sole back on one of my Muckboots 3 winters back and still going strong! Must agree about the lining wearing quickly but still think they are excellent boots, much better than any others I've had.

    Float rod and reel recommendations

    I have 2 rods that I'm happy to use for barbel float fishing, a Greys Prodigy TXL in 13' and a Preston Innovations Excel in 15', both happy coupled with 8lb line and either a medium fixed spool or a centrepin depending on the swim and length of cast required.

    Club Memberships...how many?

    Four for me, one of which has been a total waste this year as I only have it for the tench fishing! One of the others is likely to go next year as I can't find the time to fish all the waters i have access to.

    Arbour for Speedia

    My memory must be going, it was 3D printed, not injection moulded. File is available on Thingiverse, think it was on Fishing Magic, not here.

    Arbour for Speedia

    Someone posted on here with a file for injection molding one, there were versions for narrow and wide drum Speedias, perhaps the search function could locate it? I had my stepson do me one for my wide drum and not had any problem with it.

    Quiver with room for Fox specialist Brolly

    I have an Aqua quiver and my Fox Specialist brolly fits OK.

    Early Arnold Kingpin

    Tom, have you tried asking Mill Tackle for advice? https://www.milltackle.com/

    All excited about the 16th?

    I am the same Cliff, normally I'm eager to get to the river on opening day but this year the thought of possible interaction with other people is filling me with trepidation.

    Drennan Continental Boilie Hook

    Great hook, been my favourite for years too.

    What landing net?

    And I thought I had too many with 2 different sized spoons and 2 different folding triangles!
