    Small leads and short hooklinks

    I always start off long, if I'm missing bites, ( not that i get many 😁 ), I'll shorten slightly, chop 6 to 8 inches off, and keep doing so till i finally hook one. Its easier than starting off short, then having to tie a longer one.

    Daiwa connoisseur G 1720 au. River control.

    Hi Jim, people have different opinions of what a fair price would be. And as most people hate a refusal, you may be better naming the figure you've got in your head. Just a thought. 🤷‍♂️

    Still a place for a lump of luncheon meat

    Neil, what hooks are you using ? And aren't you worried it won't pull through the meat ? How do you mount it ?

    I'm after a favour from someone based near Bedford?

    Arrange your own courier to collect and deliver it.

    Insight GR60X Line or ESP Syncro XT Loaded.

    Sack the 2 of them, just go with Diawa Hyper Sensor. Job done. 👍

    Well done Martin, thoroughly deserved. Absolute cracker. 👍

    Chickpeas and other cheap alternative baits

    I once fished for 2 days solid, tried everything, pellets, boilies, etc, all the things you would expect to work on a river, not a touch. At last knockings, i tried a single grain of corn, and yes, you know what happens next. :)👍

    Thank you so much Andrew, appreciated, if you could give us a heads up when the river is looking good, that would be great. Sorry to hear about your latest accident, get well soon mate. 👍

    Hi Andrew, i hope you are fully on the mend, do you have any plans in the near future for another BFW fish-in ? If so, me and my brother ( the scouse duo ), would love to attend, we really enjoyed the last 0ne, even though, everyone who attended struggled on a low clear river. Many Thanks Derek...

    Temu (again)

    I'm a massive fan of Temu, spent a small fortune with them. ( tools, gadgets, etc ), Had lots of terminal bits from them, tail rubbers, silicone tubing etc etc, and can't fault them, so much cheaper than anyone else. Is there a reason not to. 🤷‍♂️
