Nice informative comment :p

CL's reels are the best out there, imo they are better engineered than the reels from the 20's and 30's. Chris's finish is outstanding. Love my 15's and Spitfires. btw...I will be bay'ing a unused Scotton Trotter and a Browning Revolver in the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled...

Your not the first person to not be a 100% happy with it. I have one but to be honest I have not used it much. I suppose you could "Jerrymander" a Carp net down to the required size !! M

Chris Brown net, very strong. He has one called the "Barbel & Chub" net. I have one of these with a flowing water mesh. Really strong net indeed. Check out his site Martin

I know it's not 70 pounds and I know the test curve is 1.75 but the Torrix 11ft is superlative. The top section is so nice and supple and the butt has lots of power. To me it's one of those rods that you pick up and just want to go fishing with it. I couple it with a Witcher 1920, great combo...

Oh yes :) Bet that's been done

What with population increase and low water table, RW's observations are indeed interesting. I don't have the knowledge on this subject but at the very least, can you say that things will improve long term?. The rivers I (and all of us I suspect) remember from years back were...

Enjoy your fishing the way you want. I just don't understand why people get hot enough to slag other peoples fishing, it just shows ignorance and plain bad spirit. btw How about this then. Fishing with cammo trousers, Carp (margin) fishing with Barder rod and Witcher pin. Watching the...

très triste, esprit étroit.

I used to Carp fish a great deal in 70's 80's and most of the 90s and there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone must get enjoyment from the sport in the way they they prefer it, why slag people (and the way they enjoy Angling) on a net forum. Would you class all the modern Capers like Hearn...

Not bait pouches but if your after tackle belt/bag then high end stuff, such as:- Fishpond Simms Snowbee Martin

Make 9 Spanners if anyone bids !!! Martin

My new Camera is a Canon G1X, also at the same time bought a Canon speedlite flash unit to go with it. Early sample pictures are superb, quality of them is outstanding, would say that it is better than the lower end Digital SLR's. SLR has the advantage of lens changing but that is not what I...

Gosh, thanks for all the speedy replies. Frog Fluro and Grand Max Soft seem to be top of my list to check out although lot's of you have your own prefered ones and it's all about what you have faith in. I might also add that the stretch of water I will be fishing will be very clear in the...

Thanks for the info Dave, will look into it more. Martin

Ah yes, I mentioned this in my first post, not seen it but I suspect it is softer than most. I won't be happy I guess until I have some in my hands. Will get some and give a good bench test first. If it fails my tests then it will end up in the big tuppaware (spelling) box with all the other...

Hi.. Preston Reflow ? I guess Martin

Hi to all I know this has been asked before but I just thought I would post it up again to see what opinion is on the "latest and best" Flurocarbon is for hooklengths. I know that Prestons Grand Match was good, but no longer made. Frog Hair is another I have heard mixed reports on. I...

Just as a point of interest. I don't store boilies long term in freezers anymore. Shaun Harrison of Quest baits put me right on this. Again it depends on the mix but buy your boilies freshly rolled then spread them out to air dry. Once completely dry then store in cardboard boxes (not...

Depends on the mix really. Some types of bait get very burned and end up floating!! Also it's a confidence thing, fishing with freezer burned bait, hmm! Martin
