Nice one! Bet that was exciting.

The last ones I had total faith in were Hinders Barbel Blitz in about 2015, but I think they lost access to the flavour. Three Rivers Rolling still uses it it in one of their boilies though.

Well I'm certainly more confused than when I started, so thank you all 😁

On wasting your time buying a second rod though, no harm in having another five.

The only time I’ve used two on the Wye is on a big open stretch, commanding a lot of river and in February when I felt I was trying to eek one out. Sometimes I did have one on each 15mins apart or something, so it was worth doing. I am thinking about using two on the Ribble but it would probably...

That's polite, I was thinking more along the lines of 'battered'.

Evening all I was just wondering what everyone’s favourite pre drilled pellets are at the moment? I haven’t used any for a few years but would like to get some 8mm jobbies to do a bit before autumn. Does anyone used the three foot twitch ones? Thank you

I believe there’s some nice carp in there. I did some work experience many years ago with the land agents that managed the place. From memory there was a meeting going on with a colonel who worked there and I had to wait in the car 😂 I had a black eye after an eventful weekend and probably...

I imagine there was some contrasting emotions at either end of that sale. I'm not in the position atm but I will probably get in touch one day then Keith to see if you still have it 👍

Sold pending collection.

I’ve always fancied one of those. Saw one go on eBay the other week for £27, collection only in Devon. Couldn’t believe it.

Evening all I bought a pair of these last year, thinking I would use two when fishing for tench. I've moved house and won't do that bit of fishing anymore. l only use one rod on the river so have one for sale. It's had a reel put on it and been taken to the bank a couple of times, but not...

Any good mate?

Hi Richard, it sounds like you have booked on the Newport stretches? I haven’t fished those I’m afraid so can’t help. I fished the bit that I believe is referred to as Lower Symonds Yat and is through Wye and Usk or Angling Dreams.

By far my favourite coated braid for barbel is the Gardner ultra skin super soft. I haven’t bought the esp stuff for years but never found it sat as smoothly as I would have liked, without steaming anyway. It does seem very popular though. I also like the Thinking Anglers tungskin but it only...

Just to clarify, I am not necessarily saying the swims immediately up and down of the suspension bridge. I know you asked for good swims but personally I think you should at least half earn your first barbel 😉

Faster water up and down of the suspension bridge. Have a lead around before getting too comfy, it’s fairly snaggy water.

That was hands down my favourite fishing magazine. Do you know when it stopped?

The last few years I’ve had too much going on, or been in places where getting to the bank is not something I can do every week. So for this reason I’ve put a lot in to prep, or planning and choosing my time when the conditions are good and I can get a run of sessions together. It would be...

I used to use mine a lot for light carp fishing with a 1.5oz lead and pva mesh bag tied to the lead. They were super accurate for me when doing that. If I was buying again I’m not sure they would be my choice, though I haven’t given any thought to what would. I don’t think I’ll be coming south...
