Iam had my leathermans wave for over 20yrs amazing bit of kit. It’s been repaired & replaced
Customer service is fantastic the turn around is very quick 👍
It’s with me almost all the time👍 Gets well used and abused I’ve even repaired the belt loop buy cutting the end off a old leather belt and...

A barbel of any size would be nice 😂
5lb+ chub 2lb+ roach and my Stillwater targets double figure bream and a mid 20 common carp 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Good luck to everyone 🎣
Use by and sell by dates are more for us, could be wrong but doesn’t it have to be shown on all food sources?
Personally I’ve never worried about it in my bank side efforts the fish decide if it’s ok.
Hi everyone
For me the what’s best debate continues ie korum digital and my old Avon?
Father Xmas kindly left me a set of korum scales under the tree
Needless to I haven’t used them until on a recent trip with my son.
He landed a large chub👍 Out came the scales the fish was weighed let’s say...
I’ve got a pair of these excellent clutch, tough reels.not as smooth as some reels but I like that about them.
As Richards said been made for years almost unchanged.
I think you can upgrade the bearings inside? but mine are as is.
Grandad used to work at mothers pride (not as baker) but used to get loads of bread👍
Grown up on bread pudding, probably explains the waistline 😂 what about bread and butter pudding?
Now that’s nice straight out of the oven scoop of ice cream 😋
Hi everyone
I’d just like to say that I’ve enjoyed looking at these amazing photos 👍👍
Iam definitely inspired to dig out my old camera and have a go myself 👍👍
The problem is how far is to far, I consider 10 mile radius for home to be local my son says 5 miles
Should we be restricted to our local area or district, if district is ok I live within the new forest district
and that’s 220sq miles and there’s the problem local has a different meaning for...
Hi Dave
I totally agree with what you’ve said there, Iam glad I can still partake in my pursuit locally if I choose
But I know there’s going to be trouble. A golf courses average distance is 3.5 miles and could easily played within the rules of social distancing and is definitely exercise.
I...

Hi Gerry
I enjoyed that, I was ten yrs old in 1976 and just starting out on my fishing adventures with my grandad and uncle,
We used to load our tackle into grandads white Austin 1300 just like the one at the beginning of the film
Great days and great memories thanks for sharing 👍
Hi mark
I agree when you say venues were rammed, my eldest son suffers from a mental illness he came back home in nov 2019
Mental health provisions have suffered greatly since the pandemic and it’s been hard.
He spent two weeks in hospital in June 2020 with bacterial pneumonia mostly in icu...
The clue was in the .gov wording ie: recreation and leisure, that stopped angling this time round sadly.
That simple phase put angling in the same category as golf & tennis etc which were not permitted under previous rules.
They got to much flack last time, maybe rightfully so. A friend of mine...
I once worked for a guy who used to say, China just looks at copyright as right to copy.
He’d had personal dealings with such issues his ideas being stolen in the manufacturing process
And just outright copied, he once said that there was only a short window in which he could make any money.
Turning points & small temp moorings are worth looking at, the bottom gets stirred up by the prop. Early morning and dusk are best less boat traffic. Ive used simple rigs when we’ve fished the GUC and the slough arm normally just float fished to be honest
Hi phil
your definitely right, they’ve got no fear of human activity at all, I had one almost sniffing my boot last week as it went past
On the stour, my son had one in front of him ducking and diving he filmed it on his phone.
He feels that some how we need to make them afraid of us, there...
