Nice! Couple of tips…keep it out of direct sunlight and check for/remove dead ones a couple of times a week, if left in they can soon spoil the whole wormer; and they particularly love eating cucumber!

I tried the GR60x and found it very wiry which was surprising as a big fan of the original gr60. Also tried the ESP and was okay but a little wiry…personally I think there is far better line available - Fox Exocet to name just one

Sent you a pm Andy

I lost out to a mint 4000 ci4 by 67p couple of wks back….still hurts!

You probably outbid me on a recent Twin power ci4 4000 😂

They do come up occasionally in mint condition…if the reel stem is not scuffed, and still pearly white/ not yellowed, it still has the original shimano sticker on the top of the stem and the transfers are not worn then likely a goodun! Im a fan of the Stradic brand, rods and reels, and have a...

They already do an 11ft 1.5Ib specialist rod

Lovely fish, well done

Great reels - Nice one here Martin https://ebay.us/m/eXAkBJ

Good work fella👍 it’s been a struggle to even tempt a decent chub for me on the Ouse, then as soon as we have some decent rain I can’t go🤦‍♂️

looks like they’ve suffered a bit in use…be interesting to see what they fetch

Does anyone take river temps, something I used to but not for a few years, and no longer have a thermometer. So does anyone recommend a particular thermometer?

I use the Vortex frankfurter spice or dynamite garlic 8mms on my Severn trips…seem to work well for me

IMO anything a carp will eat so will Barbel…as long as it’s presented well and the fish are feeding. Some days they have a preference for a certain type of bait, when they are feeding well on casters/hemp they’ll likely ignore a lump of meat or it’ll scare them off! I’ve done well in the past on...

I remember something he wrote stating he sourced/produced tackle primarily for his own use so he had complete confidence in what he was using….and it certainly was quality gear!

Sad news indeed. He was certainly a character. ProGold was one of the best lines ever released IMO

Cheers all…sorted now with some Gardner ones I found in a local shop - Dinsmore ones looked good but I’m not a fan of screw tips

Any recommendations for long extending sticks (40 - 70” ish), I want ones that are a thick diameter…and more stable in a strong current, currently using Dinsmores but need some new ones. Think I’ve seen NGT ones mentioned before but never seen them

As you’ll probably know weirpools can be snag pit, especially the deeper holes where the snags (and fish) will settle. So if it was me I would spend a bit of time leading about and seeing where the flow takes different sized leads to get an idea of where to place a lead/feeder of a certain...

Sorry to hear about that Rob, I echo what Alec said and hope all works out positively for you both 🙏 I got a mate who may be interested in the rods, will let you know/pass on details tomorrow
