    One rod

    Totally agree, if I can get away with it (and I usually do) I use my Harrison 1.5lb but I also love my original Greys Prodigy Barbel 1.75lb and have never used anything heavier for Barbel. I fish the Hants Avon, Dorset Stour and the Wye but have never fished the Trent or Severn but hope to do so...

    Home made garlic spam

    I know it isn't meat but I use Garlic Klips Pellets, Dumbells and Paste from Kent Particles River Baits and they are superb, getting me a Throop Fishery record last season ;)

    PVA mesh

    My thoughts exactly 🧐 I twist the bag until it is drum tight so it "explodes" on melting and am able to cut off the tag end very close to the knot which is also pulled very tight as well. The knot slips easily and firmly into the Ronnie Swivel (as shown in my first post). No waste at all;)

    PVA mesh

    I use a Ronnie rig swivel on my lead clip or on the line above the lead when fishing inline leads. The knot of your PVA bag fits perfectly in the slot, "Simples" ;)

    Combi rig components

    For me in general the rig offers a combination of stiff abrasion resistant mono boom with a flexible and more natural / inconspicuous braided bait presentation (mono or flouro depends on water clarity, substrate (eg rocks, gravel, silt). There are many ways to tie the mono to braid and I use...

    Umbrella / Brolly

    No they won't, as I discovered recently :rolleyes: Luckily I had a pair of brass storm caps on my Korum brolly so drilled them out and switched them over to the Diawa Mission brolly which also has large graphite ribs and put the Cygnet ones on my Korum brolly, I have left the grub screws in and...

    Recommend me a line for the tidal Trent.

    I switched to ESP Syncro XT Loaded at the start of this season and have been so impressed with it I just purchased another bulk spool to load on my carp reels for the summer ;) 👍

    Landing net assistance required please

    Drennan have also provided most stockists with replacement locking collets which they give out for free (always worth having a spare in your bag) ;)but to reiterate: when you set the length of your Drennan handle it only requires the slightest pressure to set the length THERE IS NO NEED to...
