Hi Alan, where are you based? I don't like the stores but Angling Direct local to me has them in, maybe your nearest store does also to have a look? I took a look at them and they seemed great little bags, the top pocket sized for the Roving Blox which I also use, leaving the main compartment...

Tackle Tavern have 2 left at £38, otherwise £44 off eBay. This is the 35L Ruckback.

Yeah you can get some great deals on korum stuff. I've been a fan for a long time, admit I've had a bit of a moan about them at times but all my stuff is still korum.

I should point out you can hold a mat on the shakespeare bag but they are electric straps and not D rings to clip to. I'd still pick the Korum bag though.

I love my Korum stuff, had the current Roving kit but just bought the 35L regular rucksack. Nice bit of kit. Shop around, I bet you'll find the progress ruckbag cheaper than the shakespeare one

When I first saw the SKP range I liked it (even though some of it was clearly rebranded) and I was going to get some the new Shakespeare luggage and rods since I used a lot of their stuff in my younger days (I lived walking distance from the warehouse in Redditch back in the day) but in the end...

I had one briefly, pretty much the Korum Ruckbag but rebranded to Shakespeare. The chair carrying part was a strap rather than the hooks on the sides but not much difference otherwise.

Are those specs correct? 12ft 2lb Avon and 12ft Quivers the same weight?

I used to build these at Young's when there were still here in Redditch There were 4 small ball bearings, sprung loaded in the twist mechanism so every quarter turn the real seat would lock into place. There was reports of line twist from casting off the front of the reel, but Ray used Spider...

I bought one, the 1.25, I feel sorry for anyone who paid full price for them. Even reduced the purchase left me full of regret.

I bought the Drennan ones. Expensive but I've had them at least 20 years and they are still glowing bright.

Lots of over excitement though and behind the scenes there would have been the biggest bivvys loaded with all the latest Nash products. Probably not everyone's cup of tea. Title of the film is probably enough 😂

You may want give 'Barbel Banx' on Fish flix a miss then. Tbh I thought most Barbel fishing was pods and alarms these days, nearly every Barbel rod on the market is 1.75 minimum, aimed at this style of fishing. I recently sold my new Drennan Barbel rod cause it just felt far too heavy for my...

To be honest catching chub over 5lb I'm finding relatively easy on the Avon no matter what tactics or bait I use, they are my blank saver! The barbel though are a different matter. I am over thinking things massively though so just need to fish I nice simple rig and be done with it.

I guess there's absolutely nothing wrong with a good old mono hooklink. And I already have some 10 and 12lb mainline left over plus some spools of Korum Smokescreen mono hooklink, although I'm going off their products.

I fish the W.Avon at Barton and it's a tough stretch for Barbel I think, and I can only fish mornings so I don't think that is an optimum time either. I'm using a mixture of hookbaits, 8 and 14mm dumbbells, the dynamite baits busters and various boilies. I can manage a few chub but the barbel...

Thanks guys, I'm currently using Drennan Gravel braid but then today with the W.Avon very low and clear I wondered if I should be using fluoro even though I'm not a big fan of it. My hooklinks are coming down to 18 inches or less too.

Hi guys, during my sessions I'm messing around trying different hooklinks too much rather than just sticking with one. So, what's the general choice? Braid Coated braid (tungsten coated too) Mono Fluoro And what sort of lengths? I try long ones just because that's what I've read but I don't...

Korum are part of the same group as Fox. So Fox stopped the specialist range because korum had that covered with more products and Korum stopped the Snapper range cause of Fox Rage. I used to be a massive korum fan boy but lately their stuff is very meh! And I'm moving away. I just took a punt...

The bearings in the reels when they built here in Redditch were pressed fit into place (doubt the design changed after masterline ownership though), you won't easily replace them without the correct tools. The big bottom bearing was also held into place with a locking nut which was adjusted to...
