Me too John, SMG, can I assume you were tank crew, as I? By the way that is a very pristine example ;)

Although I normally use X Aero baitrunner reels they were both "Locked Up" in yesterdays swim as I had a fallen tree less than 15 mtr downstream 😬 I have no problem with using front drag reels though and have Diawa Emcast Evo reels on my Carp rods but obviously leave them loose and then tweek...

I only use pellets as feed but use boilies made from the same ingredients as hookbait, Klips Sardine and Garlic ;)

Hi Connor Check out https://www.klipsbaits.com/ Paul is pretty much a one man band and also has a brilliant pellet and paste as well as terminal tackle and PVA mesh at very competitive prices ;)

Am I missing something here! WTF has this got to do with this thread?

Personally I wouldn't buy a brolly if I couldn't remove the centre pole ;) I currently use the Korum Graphite Brolly Shelter which is excellent.

As usual, the fishing is a backdrop against the obvious friendship and camaraderie between Bob and Paul, most enjoyable watch 😁

Hi Mike Most, if not all weather apps use the Met Office for their forecasts but in my experience (and my job depends on it) XCWeather is by far the best and most comprehensive available.

I still wear the first pair of Muckboots that I purchased at least 10 years ago, they are my go to winter footwear ;)

I purchased some Grubbs after years of using Muckboots. Wrong decision. Muckboots are by far a better product. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for"

Either way, each to their own (including Terry Simner ;))

Hi all Yes it is as above 😁 I have two and stand by my assertion that it is the best chair for travelling light;)

Until you add the various attachments ;)

JRC Stealth X lite for me, no better chair for roving on the market ;) Accessory chairs are by their nature HEAVY;) Just my opinion of course but based on many years of experience:rolleyes:

Because, as you know Terry, it's not rocket science mate, although you could be forgiven for thinking it is. Location and feed are the key elements, after that if you have a decent bait on a decent rig, in the right place , it will catch ;)

Just checked, has a very well fitted piece of cork in the male joint. Maybe the decals are just not as nice as the older ones on my 'Avon Angling' 1.5 TC pair which I bought several years ago? Top sections on those are shorter than butt sections as described in my earlier post.

Have Harrison rods ever been faked? The reason I ask is that I have a 11' 'Avon' 1lb 6oz which I'm not entirely convinced is right? The decals look cheap and I was also told that a feature of Harrison two piece blanks is that the tip section is always a little shorter when packed away to...

Hi Richard, I agree on most counts, however, this is a product that is produced in large numbers with in my experience no instructions on "Best Practice" and as such should be more durable. We are not all budding engineers and although I , like you have nursed my original handle and a second...

I have two twist locks which I have 'nursed through' over the last few years but still can't understand how a company as big as Drennan hasn't sorted this design fault out yet???

I also usually use Carp King but Paul Potter now has his own bait brand (KLIPS which is awesome) and also does a great deal on PVA (£32 for 100m I believe.
