    Shimano Biomaster 2500 RA reels, a pair NOW SOLD TO MEMBER

    I’ve never seen those before, look like a fancier version of a super?

    Harrison Chimera Specialist Number 2: what reel?

    On the 11ft chimera 1.75lb I've got a Shimano Aero XR 5000 and it feels like a wand. For the 12ft no2 my Daiwa ss2600 feels well balanced for me.

    The Perchfishers - The Biggest Fish Of All for sale

    The carp book 'Waiting For Waddle' seems to be one of the ones that does genuinely sell for big money on a fairly regular basis, I've seen it go for over £300. I spoke to someone who had a copy from new and made a good bit of money on it, he said, 'It's not even that good' 😂

    The Perchfishers - The Biggest Fish Of All for sale

    I don't know if they ever sell but there's some fully signed ones around for sale at £250. There's another unsigned copy up for £150 plus postage on eBay at the moment. Personally I just want to read books so I'd never pay extra for a signed copy of anything. I'd also generally take a book in...

    I met him once at Wingham for an Anglers Net fish in, lovely man and a wealth of knowledge.

    372 pages. It's a lovely book to be fair, lots of nice pictures, good stories and good stuff on techniques as well. I'm selling it on at what I paid for it, appreciate it is an outrageous amount of money. It's got some comprehensive stuff on Tring and the Thames which I wanted to read. This...

    FUTURE FISHING big update

    I spent a few years getting about half my bits from AD, it was just so convenient if wanting multiple, specific items to be able to get them in one place. In the last year or so though I made the decision to only use them as an absolute last resort.

    Very sad to see. Hope things work out for him one way or another.

    Spam - or not?

    Careful David, I believe a lot of early experimenters with chickpeas went on to make other funny round balls. Without realising you might be turning in to Rod Hutchinson 😂

    Shimano Aero XR 3000 or similar wanted

    Hi David, glad its done the job. The XR in 3000 will be similar to the ninja but a bit lighter and nicer to use. As you've probably seen, it also has a spool reducer. Best of luck on the lakes and tarns.

    Shimano Aero XR 3000 or similar wanted

    I’ve got a few of the 3000 and one of the 5000 and a really like them. I’m sure you will get different opinions on what size but it will be personal preference I would think. They are really light though and personally I really like them compared to the shimanos I’d had for the previous 20 years.

    Link ledger tips

    Just thinking about this again, with the rolling meat I would think if it is ending up straight down the near side margin then again it needs more weight or some slack in the line. When the rolling meat is going well you can really feel it slowly trundling along. Loosely, I'd cast 45degrees...

    Link ledger tips

    Hi Ben, I'm no expert but I'll outline how it's worked for me, or at least my interpretation of it. I've sort of had two approaches to it. The first one has been fishing quite close in, generally where there is little flow, but perhaps on the edge of flow, a slack or eddy. In this case I...

    Last trip to the wye

    Nice one Craig, plenty of scope to go smaller on the barbel as well, just stick at it 😂

    Last trip to the wye

    It’s dropped a few feet since the weekend and the colours gone as well.
