    Downstream rod

    In a double hook up situation all you can do is leave the one rod on the baitrunner and play the fish on the other rod first. I have found in the past that often the second fish after an initial run will lay quiet until you start to bring it in. However 3 seasons ago I had a different type of...

    Catch Cult 28

    We chatted at the Barbel show Martin, the magazine has a good variety of articles about different species. I particularly liked the Chub articles by Vito in CC27 & 28 and the excellent Barbel one by Stephan in CC23. Regards Steve

    Anyone going to Telford on Sunday?

    Well you missed a great day out it certainly sparked enough interest for our friend from Munich to fly over to visit and we also had a 93 year old legend drive up 180 miles on his own just to be there. Can't wait for next years event.

    Flask recs please

    Stanley for me. I have 3 in different sizes, one of which is thick walled which keeps drinks temp hot longer. They are also very tough.
