Has anyone on here had any experience of using this line (as sold by Pallatrax). I'm interested in the abrasion resistance vs limpness/softness perspective, as most/all lines with high abrasion resistance tend to be quite 'springy'. HAPPY CHRISTMAS, ONE & ALL!!

I've extended the legs on one of mine and put removeable rear 'spikes' (to rest on/stick into steep banks behind)...and pleased with the result.

A pair of brand new Korum 2.5lb/12ft rods, for use in the mud pits, delivered today ....for £90 all in :p 👍 (Thanks to info from Dave Mez ... c'mon, join us on BFW!!) N.b...they're slimmer than the photos look (not a la F/S Hi-S!) but they DO feel well beefy. We'll see eh.

Thanks Terry, but I think I'm sorted now. 👍 ATB

I'm thinking of getting a pair of these rods for when there's 3-5m of extra water on the Lower Severn, I'm over my ankles in mud, and 4-6oz may be necessary to hold bottom. Any thoughts on these?? I've never even handled any Korum rod so, to anyone that owns one of these rods ... how wide is the...

Hi All, I've had a pair of these put aside for selling next close season (when the market's better), but if there's any fully paid up member on here that's thinking about buying themselves a pair for Xmas .... they'll know that you can't buy a pair new for under £730. Plus you'll know that...

Ok, I own up .... it was me (from the Teme). Photo to follow .....eventually.:p

I agree Mike, but I'm not sure that Garlic Spam was any better than today's Spam + garlic (that we might add). I don't see how it can be really. Maybe, when it was first used by anglers on rivers, it caught so well because it was novel to fish. Then there's 'Confirmation Bias' ... in that we...

If you're on the Lower Severn at night and you've got feeding barbel in front of you, then you'll catch (or at least get a take from) using any of the above, plus Severn favourites including Red Robin, Ambush, Questrami, etc etc...or maybe a straight halibut pellet with or without being dunked...

A very chilly Stanford Bridge, with the Teme over the banks and in the trees. Not tempted.

You're talking about £250-280 in really good condition, and ~£280 for "mint". The rosewood might push that to £300 ... more easily so in May/early June when angler are thinking more about the forthcoming season.

The Lower Severn ....moody? Nah, bloody mean!

Hatter, it's been repaired three times already but the material is now so wafer-thin that even Wonderweb isn't wonderful enough. Jack Pyke don't supply these anymore but 'Military First' have supplied a good replacement (for £15)....which I'm pleased with.

.....my trusty old hat 🤣 😂🤣 Thank you for giving me 25 years plus of excellent service. C'mon lads, show us all yer old manky tat 🤯💩🤯

The top field is head high with balsam etc and not maintained at all. And now there's no longer sheep in the lower fields, and due to massive amounts of flood debris etc, there's very few swims available down there. I'm used to Teme 'jungles', and I love them, but that stretch has all but been...

Beck's Hatter??

Another dark, dank, day ....

I used to grind halibut pellets or boilies in a coffee grinder, sieve, grind, sieve, grind ...then add a flavour to mirror my bait's flavour. Now I tend to buy Elips Paste (£7/300g, with multi-buy offer available) and flavour that. If you want to stiffen the paste after flavouring it then gluten...
