You been eating all the pies Rhys?

had this last week out of the Cherwell...big head long and skinny but weight surprised me...not me the fish:)

around 10ish ??

I think you do have to be careful judging weights by a photo. there are some that are obviously wrong but some could be down to the way the photo presents the fish. I do a lot of match fishing and quite often nowadays pictures are taken of big fish or catches at the end of matches and being...

used the sonubait ones, pretty much like the originals but not soaking in the redish oil

that's been a long session Dale...last time I saw you...you were clean shaven :)

standard 4000 size match reel as light as you can get but if you have short fingers a 3000 is better suited so its a good idea to take the handle into a shop and try the reel on and see if your finger reaches the spool comfortably. after that its down to budget...plenty to choose from.

TF gear rods are generally good even the cheap ones so at that price worth a punt, you sell a lot of used tackle have you not come across a pair of decent used ones. Always seems to be good used ones on eBay and they don't seem to go for a lot now the barbel bubble seems to have burst.
