I often fish with odd rods, to me it makes sense on the bigger rivers to fish an inside line with a lighter set up and mid river with a heavier set up that can handle the bigger weights needed to hold bottom.

I wasn't aware of this, it sounds like a great initiative. I'll put my name down for the next one. https://www.freshwaterwatch.org/pages/events

I know very little about cane rods but am tempted. What fishing is this suitable for? What would be a safe line rating to use? How long is it? Any other info would be useful.

I've sent you a PM James

Thanks all, some great info there. I couldn't find the tenchfisher's article, you might need to be a member to get to that one. I did find a tenchfisher's youtube clip that demonstrates the Hellerman tubing option though. That looks good to me. Thanks for the kind offer to send me some Hellerman...

Do you mean something like these? https://www.banktackle.co.uk/chod-beads-3034-p.asp do you use float stops to lock in place?

I watched summer last night and enjoyed it thanks for sharing. The film quality dates it a bit, but the content is good.

I don't have Amazon Prime at the moment but here's a link for those that do River Jaws

I'm sure i'll succumb to Fishflix at some point but there must be some good free stuff to watch first

I'm working away overseas at the moment and missing my fishing, so started looking to see what I could find on YouTube. There's a lot of films that are distinctly average so thought I'd ask if any of you have any particular favourites to try and shortcut the search process. Please drop a link...

I'm very pleased with the nighthawk, my only complaint being no pike today.

Would tying a bit of string to what's left of the zip work? I have done that successfully on a couple of old fishing bags over the years.

Sold 😀

I've been eyeing those bucket seats up for a while. What's the fabric like, is it waterproof-ish or absorbent?
