Such sad news. I always enjoyed his posts. RIP.

Now we've voted to leave the EU are we allowed to use Polish sausage? :p

Crooky should be back from honeymoon, so a gross or two should do. :D

Great stuff Dave. I'll be there.

No seriously, I use one of these Hi Gear Portable Travel Toilet | GO Outdoors carried in one of these ESP Carpgear I put all my bait in it and use it as a seat when stalking.

This reminds me of a thread from yonks ago on the Cemex site. Angler eats a curry. Hours later he get deli belly. Goes into bush with trowel and toilet roll. After numerous visits he runs out of toilet paper. Last seen returning from bush with no pockets or sleeves on his shirt. ;)

Can't be sure, but rumour had it that they WERE on Harrison blanks. As previously stated hard to believe for their modest RRP.

Afraid not Steve. It has the standard small "skull cap" (if you like) piece of material on the top, and not the plastic boss as in the Supa brolly II. Never had a problem with mine. I have added a couple of extra storm caps in case it gets really windy. I always remove the centre pole...

Graham, earlier this year I had a 7lb 10oz chub from a river you know well. Maestro Mike subsequently caught the same fish last week....at 8Lb.

You've still got it...you've never lost it. ;) Class is permanent.

Lovely Graham. Making the most of your new location. And refreshing to see willing to share with us. :)

P.M. Mike.

That looks like someone's back garden mate. ;)

Excellent Graham PS Your link doesn't work for me.

Steve, I've got an old set of Flyweights and they've always been spot on, checked with some GPO post office weights. I also have some newer ones and they are rubbish, if you look inside there's lots of plastic parts. I've had numerous digital scales and they've all let me down at some point...

Dave, a dedicated stick float rod, lightweight with a spliced tip, will be unsuitable for barbel fishing, you will definitely need a power float rod. The drennan and preston ones you mentioned should be ok - btw I think you mean asaki, not askari. Most manufacturers do a power float rod. Do...

Steve, I don't know your age, but if you are not in the prime of life, you may find getting up from a cushion/bum buddy not that easy. Like me, from the floor you may have to swivel 90 degrees, adopt the doggie stance (oh-err missus), push up with your hands and then swivel 180 degrees.:D...

Another vote for the fox cam lock power-point sticks Fox Powerpoint Cam Action Banksticks - Yateley Angling Centre. They come with a tommy bar to wind them in, there is not a flat on the insert stick so that you can twist them round to suit, and the cam is very secure. Oh...and no...

Hi Ben I used to use a North Western 11ft 1.5lb which was just the job. This rod is gathering dust in my shed so if you fancy spending 25-30% of what you intend to spend on a Harrison.....then let me know if you want a waggle. BTW it's the two piece (which is harder to find that the...
