Wychwood breathable and a cheap pair of Leeda wading boots, Ive fitted mine with studs for when its slippery.

I was using 8lb glide mono. Very pleased with it and for what it’s worth in lower diameter and excellent fly leader, tends not to wind knot.

Now the dreaded Angling direct Newark store

Gave my specimen a workout yesterday, 7 barbel including a double from a pacey swim. I did lose a very big fish after a 25 minute battle, I saw the tail only and it was huge. To be honest having gone all over the river it eventually sat down stream of me and I just could not budge it, simple...

I have the 15ft specimen and have had carp to 16lb on the float from a snaggy pond and been very impressed with the power. By the same token perch to about 2lb are still pleasurable though the rods power is very evident. I have a 14ft acolyte plus which I look forward to using for chubbing.

Hi folks, I would like to pick the brains of those who have personally fished this stretch of the beautiful river Wye. I have booked accommodation close by and have also booked the stretch first week of October, it’s my annual treat and I have tried to book different stretches for each of the...

I use the Harrell but have recently bought the Korum glide, excellent buoyancy and comes off the reel beautifully. I used it recently as a leader fly dry fly fishing for river brownies in Scotland and it was better than anything else I've used and seemed far less prone to wind knots in really...

I bought a 12 acolyte commercial feeder after much research. It has a selection of fine tips designed for shy carp and has the backbone to deal with the inevitable kamikaze dive under the feet of big chub in snaggy waters plus being designed for reasonably light line it is also forgiving.

I used my 15ft specimen last week for the first time. I had a carp of about 14lb on the float from a shallow snaggy water. It went mental trying to get into branches and the rod coped better than I’d hoped. So far impressed with it

I’m the guy referred to above. The rod I bought was not this model, it was the current nzon special distance 13ft and very impressed. I can’t comment on the model for sale here as I’ve never used one.

A day she’ll probably remember all her life. You’re both very fortunate to be able to share them.

I have a confession! Many years ago whilst patrolling the grounds following an activation of the alarms my very large, very aggressive German shepherd who had very obviously watched my Labrador retrieving pheasants decided to bring me a gift of a very recently killed, very large and still warm...

I have two sets of Harrison rods both from Walkers, both excellent builds with quality fittings. Unsurprisingly Harrison also know a bit about building not just producing carbon blanks.

Nice fish and nice looking bit of water, nothing like the commercials that seem to be everywhere!

Closing day on the tidal Trent. Calm after the storms!

In excellent condition, little used has original bag. Just not getting used. £75. I am willing to meet within reason but sorry not posting.

I appreciate what you say regarding mats and that fish care should be of utmost importance, however even though I carry a mat it is inevitable that a fish that has been rested will at times manage to either slide or wriggle its way way off said mat and inevitably ends up in the grass. Unless we...

Hi I bought this brand new from Johnson Ross in August last year.I also bought a spare spool. Lines have been put on both but I’ve just not used the reel. £110 posted.

Think you’ve misunderstood, we’re saying the freespirit is a bit pokerish not the acolyte

I’ll see what I can do, can you let me have a phone number just in case?
