Tried this a couple years ago, didn't catch anything on it! To be fair many years ago I did use Hi Nu Val ( home made boilies) for barbel fishing and had loads of chub on it, but if using barbel gear they don't count!
Hi Julian
Thought about this but out of stock of cheese and garlic! Again looking for a good quality ready made or base mix.
You still owe me, so PM me your recipe😏

With winter just around the corner, it's time to think about chub fishing, so this season I was thinking of making or buying some Cheese Boilies instead of cheesepaste.
Can anyone recommend a base mix for this - Nutrabaits Hi Nu Val is discontinued, so the only other milk protein base I know is...
Hi all
Was in a tackle shop yesterday, and looked at the Drennan brolly - yes the centre pole did seem excessively long! I would remove the locking nut, cut the pole down and drill a hole in pole for locking nut - simple job.
Chris please can you give us a long term feedback, iam sure there's...
Hi Chris
As the centre pole is remarkable, then it could be replaced with a shorter pole. I brought a Diawa brolly which came with a steel pole and replaced it with an aluminium one. Like the idea of the short pole on the korum brolly, it's something I'll have to look into

Hi Richard
I've got one with the adjustable drag. Have you been able to get the drag knob off? Try WD40, let it soak in, and try again. Have a look on eBay, there's one for sale with picture of instruction. After getting drag knob, if you still can't get spool off, then you might have to...
Hi Chris
Please can you take a photo of the 36inch mesh size with a 5p for reference as to how big it is and please can you measure the depth - still searching for the perfect net!

Hi
I've got a couple of adcocks, (3) and had the same problem before. Did it come with the instructions? Do not remove the screw on the back plate. Try oil on the spindle, let it soak in, then place a cloth over the backplate, then with a mallet give it a sharp tap on the spindle, this should...
Hi all
I've recently won eBay auction £50 for free spirit advanced 12ft 1.5lb! I think it was a bargain! This is the previous version to the current gold version, however the gold version quiver tip section fits it so will be trying it this winter for some chub on the Thames! I've also got the...
