Cheers Gerry...just thought it would be ideal on the lower Severn stretch I fish for getting bait tight to the bottom of the far shelf.

What's the range on them if you wanted to attach them to a boat?

Just walked a local bit of the Thames and I'm almost sure I've seen barbel spawning...

He'd fit in well on here then

https://barbel.co.uk/forum/threads/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish.9707/#post-155082 so at some time Paul boote was Paul boote?

I thought it was said on here that he was not the real Paul Boote though?

I would have thought the real Paul Boote was on here as I bought a somewhere down that crazy river from him, same has Rhys. If I did buy it from Paul Bassinder where did he get the books from?

Same here Rhys

be nice to know what Paul is up to nowadays, really enjoyed his posts and learnt a lot from him....see I didn't mention Mr Boote!

Match anglers don't use braid as there's no advantage when swapping it for quality monos of less than around 6lb. You'll struggle to fish with it really quickly. It's not good in changing wind directions or if you need it to sink during a match. Tangles can be a pain to rectify, bump to many...

so what was the higher weight the fish made then?

It's the thought that counts

Oh dear, I have some rods advertised.
