Muckboot Tay Sport for me. Steve

Has anyone had a look at Duncan Charman's new book? Steve

Heat Holders - two pairs for a tenner at Sports Direct at the moment. Steve

I like to take a break from blanking for barbel by blanking for other species. Went pike fishing today and caught nowt. Steve

I made the mistake of buying some muckboots a couple of years ago without doing the research. I bought the tweed which kept my feet warm but the shallow tread meant that I frequently went ar$e over t1t when the banks were slippery. Been out this morning in my tay sports which are fantastic. Steve

I have used John Baker baits for the last 4 seasons and have a great deal of confidence in them. His philosophy is based around good formulations, the freshest ingredients and, critically, correct application of the bait. With a half decent bait I am convinced that it is how you use it rather...

I bought the dinsmore net and it arrived today. This is going to sound rather boastful but it looks a bit small to me. I am trying to imagine a big Loddon double and I think it will be a tight squeeze. More worryingly the net cord came away with a loud crack when I was trying to get the net in...

Brian Try ringing this number: 01865 748989 I had exactly the same problem and they sent me the bit to fix it within a couple of days. Steve

Picked up a sack of hemp from Hinders today and was told that I might need to make it last. Apparently the Chinese aren't growing it for export any more and they expect supply to drop and prices to rise. :eek: Steve

You can watch tight lines as a podcast - no sky subscription needed. Tight Lines Podcasts I think this is a cut down version of the full show - hopefully Keith will survive intact! Steve

I have a fox predator rubberised net but I find that the mesh isn't deep enough to rest a fish after landing. I also have the gardner barbel spoon - great idea but the screws fall out (fixed with araldite) and the rim has bent too easily when lifting big fish from the water, even when hanging...

Just considering how to invest my retirement lump sum. St Pats at £10,000 very tempting. She who must be obeyed might need some convincing. Steve

After a particularly impressive flood on the Loddon I found a kayak half way up a tree in one of my favourite swims. I eventually managed to return it to its rightful owner who lived in a house with river frontage about a mile upstream. Steve

Oh my god - what have I started??!!

My cheapo plastic gardner sausage gun has given up the ghost and I am in the market for an aluminium model. The gardner XT guns are a bit pricey - does anyone use one of the much cheaper aluminium guns being flogged on ebay and elsewhere? Are they any good? Cheers Steve

Does anyone rate Craghopper gear? This one in green looks nice: Craghoppers Kiwi GORE-TEX Jacket | Craghoppers World Travel and Walking Clothing Steve

I went for an end of season deadbait wobbling session many years ago. I liked to travel light and carried a few deads in the poachers pocket of my jacket. Came home and hung the jacket in the garage and forgot about it. The family started moaning about a smell that was getting worse and worse...

Have a look on the Loddon thread for a picture taken at the weekend on self timer + remote on the canon G5. Great little camera - takes a while to get the best set up. Bought it on ebay for about £50. Steve

There are a lot of people who seem to be prepared to pay a lot for tackle & books recently: Bought one of these for 15 quid quite recently: eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace This look like a restoration job rather than an original: eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace Bought one of...

The last one on ebay went for £109. You can have a look here: eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace Steve
