    Rod for grayling

    Do you what Nigel, I was going to mention this rod too. There's not just Acolyte's , Daiwa and Free spirits out there... if you have a chance over winter, get down and have a waggle at a big independent tackle shop... don't take someone's sayso, as mistakes can be costly.....

    Long float rods for big chub

    You might be using too high a diameter line for your slider knot? I slider fish a lot and I have made the same mistake. Also adding a micro bead, between slider knot and the float, can help quite a lot.....

    Float fishing for Barbel

    Conditions have been great and for a couple of weeks things have got in front of me, just to even get out. Having caught a few barbel in most months, I was happy to tick off a float caught November barbel, they were there, but didn't particularly want it as a few foul hookings, confirmed that.....
