Hi All Also as I have a fox black label compact pod, could I just use it with storm poles? If so do the fox storm poles fit or can someone suggest an alternative? Or basic modification? Regards Wayne

Hi All When fishing on concrete / hard ground what do you use for rod support. If tripods how do you stop it tipping over? Regards Wayne

Hi All I brought a pair of Chimera 11ft 6 snag and flood rods about eighteen years ago, from Leslie of Luton, and used them as my big fish/flood rods, they are very powerful small/medium river rods that WILL stop any barbel in its tracks, but I always thought that for general barbel fishing...

Hi All I think it's how often you fish, that's important, more than how old it is. Until a few years ago, I would change the line twice a season! If I've not fished much then I keep using it the following season

Hi All I've used small / medium bait droppers before on small rivers, using my barbel rods (1.75/2.25 lbs) with mono mainline, however I am planning to fish some larger Weir pools / rivers next season. My question is if I use a medium spopper can I use my barbel rods with mono line or do I need...

Hi Rob Thanks for the feedback, but I probably get the Diawa, as it looks a quality product, and I've had a Diawa infinity brolly (fiberglass arms) which was fabulous and lasted years! The new Diawa has a steel frame and pole, so I am thinking to replace the steel pole with an alloy one and...

Morning all A couple of other points Also when in Angling direct I looked at a 45 inch Leeda brolly which was about 5lbs, but no tapped seams but only £25 quid! If anyone has an ngt 45 or 50 inch please could you weigh it and give some feedback The best concept for a lightweight brolly was a...

Hi All Was in angling direct a week ago, looking for a new umbrella and was very impressed with the Diawa brolly, got them to weigh it less than six pounds = 2.7kg which is 100gms more than the korum graphite, but the Diawa has a steel frame, taped seems, and a good quality waterproof fabric for...

Yes Steve, but going be selling five or six soon!

Hi All Have brought replacement 36 in mesh from Angling Direct -advanta own brand. Mesh is plenty deep enough, about 3 foot plus, mesh size ok, but not a proper river mesh £12! Had a couple of 14's in recently! Will give feed back in future, but still looking for the perfect mesh Regards Wayne

Hi Take the bag to an outdoor shop, and then try to match up Regards Wayne

Hi all out on Wednesday evening, my Grey's umbrella, blew inside out on three occasions, each time breaking a rib and ripping the nylon! So now going in the bin. Definitely not worth £65 plus!

Hi All Thanks for reviving this thread! I have a pair of Shimano Technicium rods which I brought from new, so about 16 - 18 years old, , well loved, but well used,, but the last few seasons not been used so thinking of seeking them at some point soon, also a Shimano Technicium float rod so...

Hi been searching for a replacement river mesh for ages, how big is the mesh? How deep is the 36 inch mesh, go on Steve, buy one so I can have a look at it! Currently using a korum 36 inch, mesh size good, but only about 24 inches deep, so not deep enough to rest fish in.

Hi all I've tried lots of different boilies, allows prefer fresh home made/frozen commercial boilies over shelf life. I think the best way to fish is to stick with one bait for a number of season, you can always tweak you hookbaits/ freebies with dips & glugs. From my experience:- Nutrabaits...

Hi Graham Your almost right, it was indeed a very special night back in March 2007, when my fishing buddy caught his PB 18.10, which was a repeat capture of the 18.06 I had in Feb 2007, I said we should go to the pub to celebrate, he wanted to fish on, so I moved into a swim above him and about...
