Hi Simon
I found a frame from a Fox Adjusta chair washed up in a bush without the seat canvas several years ago on the Wye after a flood.
It has hung in my garage waiting for me to come up with a plan for re-covering it ever since, any ideas welcome 🧐
I have several Mitchels including a couple of 300's and a Match that haven't been used for years but never had a problem with them except the lack of free spool which was important for me ;)
would be happy to sell too;)
Coincidentally the second pair I am referring to is exactly the same ones which I also bought as a result of that post and they have lasted me 4 years so far including 2 years beating ;)
I have two pairs of Muckboots One pair has so far given me 8 years of service and the others 4 years but the second pair were given a severe beating (scuse pun) through the last shooting season where I yomped 10-12 km twice a week on shoots, and they are spot on.
So do the maths, £30 quid...

Tight lines John, you have already made me feel better😬 (thought I had become a noddy again🤪)
Hi John
Thank you for your insight👍there are many down here that think they are ‘pro’s But few who I would consider to be so, you are one of the few😉
many thanks👍
The odd one, but since not having access to Somerley estate anymore (not good enough to be a syndicate member😉) and not wanting to join the Bt 2 rat race I tend not to see many Barbel so often fish where I know they normally are (plus advice from bailiffs) Not ideal but like you I am constrained...
Hi Stephen
We have met before, with Dave Taylor, Graham Elliot et al on one of Graham’s little organised fishins on the Wye.
I have been fishing the Stour and Hants Avon for about 25 years and know the Local ’experts‘ very well and am also well aware of both their skill level and ‘time on...
OK guys, I know that this has probably been done before but I had such a 'Grueller' last season that I am hoping to turn things around by making a few changes.
I normally use a running lead rig with a PVA mesh bag attached to the lead.
I have heard so many conflicting views on end tackle that...
