    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    I tend to use ESP ronnie clips in small. I like the small amount of weight to keep things anchored and act as a pivot point.

    Lines

    I also need some new line and I'm considering the GT80+ but not sure whether to go for the clear or green. Any advice?

    Wanted advice on River tripods and bite alarms with receiver

    I use the Gardner TLB+ alarms - You get the option of sound or receiver only. I think that ATTS are bringing out a new alarm with that option very soon... I also use a Defiant MPS Pod, but only tried it a few times. There is a thread on that if you search...

    I have seen those - They are a 2 hour drive away for me (I'm based in Newmarket). They aren't quite the build that I am looking for so I have ruled them out for the moment...

    Any thoughts on rod rings for a custom 11' torrix?

    I'm thinking about getting some torrix built up and I want to specify the rings properly. I'm currently thinking of fuji K series alconite with double legged on the butt section and single legged on the top section. Are they anti-frap? Anything else that I should consider (what size for the...

    What are you favourites hooks?

    I'm interested to know what everyone's favourite hooks are and in what sizes... I'll kick things off with the drennan wide gape specialist in a size 8 or 6. I use them because they are cheap and sharp (and I'm one of those things too...). They are quite small for their quotes size Looking for...

    Defiant River pod /banksticks....

    Have a read of this thread. I've got various bits of gear from Keith including the river tripod. I have not had the chance to try it yet - My only concern (from living room testing) is getting the locking knut tightened up enough to stop it rotating..

    River tripod recommendations

    Hi Jim, Do you manage to get the pod locked up enough? I haven't tried it on the bank yet, but it seems like it is quite likely to rotate to me at the moment.

    Any club recommendations for the Trent near Balderton?

    I've got a short break planned before the end of the river season and I'm hoping for a little local knowledge on which club might be the best to join for some fishing near to Balderton where the accommodation is. Day only fishing is fine.
