I had a pair of the Fox 10000 some years ago and was not impressed! I currently have a pair of Emcast 4000BR which I find ideal for my barbel fishing, they replaced my Shimano 3500B's and I've not regretted the change. I have a pair of Shimano DL4000FA which I use for my tench fishing, they...

Dave, Keep chasing them, it took me weeks to get a refund claim number out of them after I turned down the open ticket option. When I reminded them that they had 7 days to issue a refund under EC261 this was the reply I got "Dear Customer Thank you for your email. We’re very sorry for the...

Who were you flying with Dave? We were due to fly out April 27th with Virgin, still trying to get a refund from them, threatened to escalate if not done by the end of May and they haven't bothered to reply yet! Still hoping that our October trip may happen but more likely to be next year before...

Some of us have more pressing issues than getting fishing opened up, I have been writing to my MP to complain about the delays to prostate cancer treatment that have occurred due to Covid19. Despite Matt Hancock's statement early last week it is still a postcode lottery whether you get treatment...

All clubs I'm a member of have put out closure notices for all waters, many people can't seem to understand that 'stay at home' was directed at EVERYONE!

I wouldn't trust any fishing branded jackets after several bad experiences, my current fishing jacket which is still going strong after 10 years service is a Crag Hoppers one.

All my recent barbel have come to pellet, offered worm and boilie on the second rod each time and they've been ignored.

Maltbys reply was that their courier (Whistl) had let them down, lost the delivery. I decided to cancel the order as I won't be able to accept delivery after today, got an instant refund. Hope I have better luck when I re-order!

Placed my order with Maltbys on September 16th, got a reply advising delivery between 19-23 September, the last few days the tracking site (Whistl) has been showing "in transit" but still not arrived. Just sent them email asking what is going on!

Just run out of my last sack and noticed Maltbys offering 25kg at a good price, anyone comment on the quality of their seed. Had some from GW Titmuss once before that was very poor so don't want to risk another bad batch that won't split

Having grown up using the likes of Intrepid Monarch and then Mitchell 300's I always played fish by backwinding as the clutches on those early reels were hopeless. Even today, although I have Shimano and Daiwa front drag reels with much better clutches, my first action on hooking a fish is to...

I have often found that corn works well as a daytime change bait in summer when you can't get a bite on anything else.

More Severn roach yesterday on banded pellet, this was the best at 1.10, another of 1.06 plus some smaller ones. Hoping for some better float fishing conditions next week so I can target them properly.

Anyone got any tips for fishing charters here? I'll be there for two weeks in December and would like to try for rooster and AJ's.

Roach definitely making a comeback on the Severn around Shrewsbury, last week I had 4 in the 12-16oz range on 8mm banded pellet, yesterday another of 1.04 from a different stretch. That was an unexpected bonus as I'd gone out armed with hemp and tares intending to target them but the wind made...

I used to go to the trouble of tying up combi-rigs but for the last 2 seasons have reverted to mono, Preston Reflo Powerline is my preferred hooklink material, in 0.19, 0.21 and 0.24 diameter.

If you're looking to fish the Severn then Lymm ticket has some good water and no waiting list, ditto Warrington.

Just read the advertising blurb on those reels, how many people fish for sea otters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problems with tench to 7+ and barbel to 8+, great hooking power and they don't seem to move whereas the MWG often fall out in the net. Not lost any fish so far this year but that worried me hence the change of pattern.
