I bought an xxl snowbee folding salmon net - then carefully replaced the net with that from a korda 32 inch v shaped net. The result is perfect. I've landed fish to 15 in it with no problems and it folds away into nothing... Absolutely perfect for roving, it's only limitation is fishing from...

4000d as a baitrunner and diawa ss750 for everything else.

Beautiful

I've been using these for most of this season. Great hook for the ££

The shimano 4000d or 4000oc is a far superior reel

There's an offer... Nice one Bill

On a personal note, I think the 2.25 is a bit heavy. Start with a 1.75, or a 2 at tops. Brand doesn't really matter imo

I use a quivertip when I'm trundling baits, although it's more to get a visual representation of what my link ledger is doing rather than the bite registration.

Interestingly I'm exactly the opposite. The fish move around more freely in the summer looking for food. In the winter they are much less mobile IMO. I always feel I have a better chance going looking for them.

I rarely get to fish for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I don't have time to sit and wait for the fish to find me!

I thought it would be interesting to get an idea of people's PB's. Not interested in rivers, years or anything like that....

I prefer the tulip beads over a swivel, I often snap off the thin piece that goes up the line to lower bite resistance on the days where its all bit finicky.

Whatever you do, don't tell the barbel that Neil

Hi Richard, The are SS750's Tiny little things, but with a fantastic drag. I've picked up a few now. They're awesome little things, coupled with 12lb braid there isn't much they won't stop.
