We keep horses and suffer badly with horsefly bites during the summer. We have found Hedgewitch Essentials products that can be used not only on our horses but humans too. It’s all essential oils based and natural products. The bite and sting gel works brilliantly and really quickly. Well worth...

Davis Tackle Harrison Avon rod. They do a 1.25 Avon which is 11ft and a Stepped up 1lb 10 0z version. I have the stepped up version and it’s superb for smaller river / chalk streams and for hit and hold fishing. They are built by Harrison’s for them

Same here. Always great service. Fixed the wobble on a Ray Walton I bought from a friend for just postage costs. Top bloke and has breathed new life into that company.

I sent one with a wobble back two seasons ago to Youngs and haven’t had any issues since.

If you can find in Sufix Duraflex. Best line I’ve ever used. 10lb.bs is 0.20mm. I use it straight through. If I need to step up then 12lb bs is only 0.22mm.

Not really. I have one of each type plus have had one spare spool made up by Youngs and it fits both back plates.

Looks like there is some on eBay. Lightweight for £300 at the moment , and a mk2 for £260.

They look ok. Shame they didn’t bring out a month or two earlier to give a chance of looking at / reviewing before the season kicked off. They could also have included a keeper ring and maybe a different coloured tip - everyone does white . Having used orange tips all last season they stand...

I’ve fished the Wye for many years now. Some bits I’ve learnt along the way , don’t limit your approach to just feeders , pva mesh bags work well , a good mix of baits , corn , meat , pellets -8mm to 14mm hookbaits , boilies all work well , don’t discount using a float for barbel , especially...

I always put mine in whenever I fish. It doesn’t take much rain to turn Herefordshire red mud to a slippery ski slope , and is an added security when fishing alone that you have something to help you out were the worst happen and slip in

I fish the Wye a lot. Never ever go out with out one. A standard 15” Dog spike from Amazon is good enough and I use a double length of 4m car tow rope joined by loops in the middle in case I need to split it , and the hooks are good for securing to the dog spike and adding throwing weight...

For my standard set up I used Shimano X Aero 4000s. Slightly bigger spools and line capacity and a comfortable size and weight even for touch legering all day

Well worth giving Mark a call ,he is very interesting to chat to, he’s got some good vids on YouTube too. His build quality is superb , so glad I went with him and looking forward to christening the new rods

I changed my rods in the last 2 seasons , from perfectly good Drennan MB Barbel Rods , which although I had plenty of fish on over the years I had them - especially the 1.75’s I would say I never totally enjoyed their action. , feeling that there were times I felt near the rods limits (...

Good range of nets on sport fish similar to the Whitlock Gye Nets. Worth a look at.

Done 👍

I clip my normal net and long handle to either a D Ring on my vest or onto my chest wader straps with a Gear Keeper extender , the gear keeper is attached to the handle of the landing net with a long velcro strap which can slide up and down the handle but not slip off the end of the handle so...

Think that Tacklebox sell their own version - they call it the “guesti chair “ they’re £20
