    Reel Size for 2 3/4lb TC Basia

    Yes but the handles actually fold , even the Castizm handles don’t do that , something that bugged me along with the inconsistent drag and baitrunner . I use my Shimano OCs now and they feel all clunky and agricultural compared to the Whiskers , definitely in reel eutopia now 🥰

    Reel Size for 2 3/4lb TC Basia

    It was Terry unknowingly put me on to these reels , I have three now and couldn’t be happier with them , forget baitrunners the QD is where it’s at for me . Great on the middle Trent and I use mine for small water carp fishing as well , when funds allow I’ll be looking for a 4000 version for my...

    Water Company Executives Rich List

    It basically means we all end up paying more for our rivers to be polluted, with this government I wouldn’t expect anything less .

    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    Always use an Allbright knot , tried everything mentioned here and they just don’t look right to my eyes , even loop to loop looks untidy to me , A correctly tied knot ( 9 up 4 down and tightened very carefully) is just as strong as both materials your joining . I’ve started covering the knot...

    Wading trousers

    I’ve had a pair of Simms Goretex waist waders for over 15 years , still like new , wouldn't like to think what they cost now , but I’ve had my moneys worth , get what you pay for and all that .

    Trigga Ice

    The latest versions of Trigga / BFM should be renamed because they are not the same product they used to be , they are advertising under false pretences, any newcomer to the hobby is made to believe they are using the highly successful baits of 20/30 years ago and they are most definitely not ...

    Trigga Ice

    Like I said I’ve read from various sources and verbally that the original Trigga ingredient ie Trigerol is long gone and the German company who made it , Nutrabaits substitute for Trigerol is BAFs liver hydroslate , which I have in my bait cupboard but sadly I don’t have the Nutrabaits Trigga...

    Trigga Ice

    The problem is when bait companies insist the ingredients are the same from the original ones used back in the eighties/ nineties. Why don’t they just say a few things had to be changed because of unavailability / cost , instead of riding on the laurels of the old bait .

    The one they sell in the shop right here is decent

    Trigga Ice

    From what I’ve read their latest version of Trigga is just BAFs Liver hydroslate The original German company that made Trigerol went out of business years ago .

    Closed season project.

    Don’t forget the waste water after filter cleans etc is brilliant for the garden , a great fertiliser. We had a Koi pond back in the ninety’s , but could never get the Koi to grow , turned out to be too much iron in the tap water , got told (wrongly ) that good old Yorkshire Tap water would be...
